Wow, there are a lot of plugins out there. I think I just might want to find this again one day.

So, This is the second link I’ve blatantly stolen from K10K tonight, but what the hell. Jen Spectacular’s site is so charming and cute it will likely make your pancreas bleed. Very nicely done.

I’ve always wondered why JPEGs that are saved out of Photoshop using “Save As” seem to result in flaky behaviors when uploaded to a web server. Thanks to Steven Frank, I know. Now, what’s that XML doing in the file to begin with?

Update: I should have scrolled down to look at the comments on the linked entry. They do explain what the XML is doing there (application specific metadata and comments). Doesn’t change the fact that “Save As” produces spotty results for me when uploading JPEGs to web servers though.

Just want to book mark This for later — in case our development resources free up a bit.

Just in case I need it some day: Working with CSS - CSS Hints for Internet Explorer 5

Alltheweb.com has a feature that allows you to create custom CSS to skin their site.

I’ve come across a few sites that have a handful of templates and they’ll let you pick your favorite. I also know IE on the Mac allows you to choose a default CSS file that can be used. This is the first web site I’ve seen that invites outsiders to come in and design them for themselves (unless you count some of the mods that you can do in something like my.yahoo.com. I know that people go crazy for being able to skin MP3 players and desktop themes. I’m not sure if I (read others) really want to skin web sites though. I don’t think that I even use Google enough to want to customize the interface (much less something like alltheweb). Still, It’s also possible to point at somebody else’s CSS, so I guess if they had a library of a few good designs, there may be some appeal to that. It’ll be interesting to see how it works out for them. [via IA Slash]

Good article about using CSS to control the way unordered lists appear. A List Apart: CSS Design: Taming Lists

Hmmm…since adding the search, it looks like the remainder of my right side div and leftside divs have vanished in Mozilla.

I’m sure I must have impropperly closed a tag or something. I’ll probably figure it out eventually, but if any HTML/CSS Shaolin Masters happen by, and know what the problem is, drop me a comment OK?

Update: Fixed it. I needed a closing tag for my select form element.

I added MT-Search to my Blog. This, like all things on this blog, is mostly for my own benefit. People kept leaving comments in long archived posts, and I couldn’t always figure out what they were talking about without finding the comment it was in (does anybody else think it’s weird that the MT 5 most recent comment edit box doesn’t tell you want post the comment is in?). Anyway, if you have a wild urge to find that post where I talked about Amelie are something crazy like that, just look over in the right side nav bar. I know it’s tempting, but please resist using these new powers for evil.

So simple, I don’t known why I didn’t think of it myself. By the time I get to the end of a page of code, I completely lose track of which Divs are being closed. Kung Fu Grippe suggests commenting the closing div. Excuse me while I slap myself on the forehead for missing this obvious time-saver.
