Creepy Critters CSS Off

Posted on April 16, 2008 in News | Add a Comment »

I meant to post this a little while ago, but I participated in a CSS Off about 2 weeks ago.

The idea is: you get a PSD file, and you have 24 hours to slice it. This was my entry.

Looking back on it, I think there were some things I would have done differently, but I am pretty happy with my submission. I’m interested to see who wins.

I look forward to the next one and encourage others to participate. Even if you don’t win, it’s good practice.

Why I’ll Be Going Naked Tomorrow

Posted on April 8, 2008 in News | 3 Comments »

Tomorrow is the third annual CSS Naked Day, and I will be participating, just as I did last year. Some people may wonder: why would you strip the design from your site for a whole day? Won’t you lose visitors?

Well, you may, but you are helping to promote web standards. I take the time and effort to write well structured XHTML, so my site is perfectly usable without the design.

I’ll be striping my design with the CSS Naked Day WordPress Plugin. I encourage everyone else to strip down and show off your body.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5

Posted on March 29, 2008 in News | 2 Comments »

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.5 tonight, and I must say it’s pretty awesome.

The automatic upgrade of plugins is amazing, and I really like the new organization of the admin area.

Well, I’m sure I’ll have a lot more to say about it once I’ve used it more. Kudos to Happy Cog and Automattic for this release.

(psst, Google, with just a little design work it could have looked so much nicer!)
