Nvu I want to use you.

  • 21 Sep, 2005

Nvu is yet another spawn of the Mozilla family. This time, non-Mozilla employees ripped out Composer, the HTML editor that can be found in the Mozilla Suite. They then re-worked it into a stand alone application called Nvu. Now I was all excited to hear about this project. How could it be bad? Well I’ve […]

Free Opera Registration

  • 30 Aug, 2005

Happy birthday to Opera! What’s Opera? It’s another web browser. Often overlooked but quite popular. It’s another alternative to IE. The only downside is the ads. Eww Ads. However, for their birthday, they are giving away free registration codes!!!!! Go grab yours today and check out the browser. Never know, you might like it. 😉

CSS Hover Tip

  • 23 Aug, 2005

If you ever have issues with CSS and your a:hover doesn’t seem to be working I may have the fix. You have to put your a:link information before your a:hover info. This works: .toprightmenu a:link, .toprightmenu a:visited { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10px; color: #999999; } .toprightmenu a:hover, .toprightmenu a:visited:hover { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: […]

Froogle Feed Success

  • 1 Aug, 2005

I have created my first Froogle feed/store. 🙂 I’m all excited because I used to think Froogle was a big scary Google thing. But it’s not. It’s relatively simple. Can’t show you the Froogle store though as it’s for a client, not me.

Web Developers Dream Firefox Extension

  • 19 Jul, 2005

As Firefox gets more popular, more developers are creating extensions for it. And some, like Aardvark, are just amazing. Aardvark allows the user to glide over a web page and see where tables, images, paragraph tags and div tags are. It also tells you the elements type, class’ or IDs. This is great for web […]

Cool Inventions. But will they make it?

  • 16 Jul, 2005

Talk about cool. I ran across a few products that I’d love to have, but I don’t even know if they are available; or affordable. The first is an Optimus Keyboard where the keys are little displays. You then program what you want each key to do. So, say your in Photoshop, you can have […]

The New Definition of Creativity

  • 15 Jul, 2005

A coworker and I went to the Battle for the HeArt last night in downtown Minneapolis and it was great. It was all about defining a new type of creativity because what was working, no longer is. People are blocking ads on the internet, switching channels during commercial breaks and not really paying that much […]

The New WCCO Web Design

  • 30 Jun, 2005

News and media websites have a tendency to look rather crowded and cluttered. Coming across a nice design just doesn’t happen that often. Until now. The new WCCO TV website got an overhaul recently and it’s a media website done right! The design is simple and clean. Making the site easy to navigate and a […]

Mac OS X Tiger for WordPress

  • 15 Jun, 2005

It’s gorgeous! I found a plug-in that converts the admin side of WordPress into something much more Mac like! It’s so easy on the eyes and 10x better than the default. You can get your Tiger plug-in over at www.orderedlist.com. It does require Firefox to look correctly though as it’s the only browser that fully […]

Who will save Fireworks?

  • 13 May, 2005

A few weeks ago we go the news, Adobe is to acquire Macromedia. As the deal gets closer to completion, I’m reading reports that Adobe may just drop some of the beloved Macromedia applications. Now I’m pretty sure that all Adobe cares about is Flash. Seeing as Flash killed their LiveMotion application years ago. However, […]
