Hi,
Over the years, I’ve found that every time that I come across the AOL browser … trouble starts.
Just today, someone was having problems watching Flash FLV based videos, where the videos would just stop half way through for no apparent reasons.
As it turned out, it was the AOL browser (a modified version of IE, so I’m told) that was screwing up. As soon as he switched to Firefox, everything worked fine.
The AOL browser isn’t the only bad actor - many micro-niche browsers are often times the source of strange problems that you don’t get using the major browsers out there. So do yourself a favor, stick to Firefox or IE.
… And keep up to date, they are free after all.

This is the first of a new series of podcast that I am creating called: ‘Ask a web nerd.’
Not the greatest title, but I hope it tells something about this series; I will be answering common questions put to me by people everyday. Questions about anything regarding web design, web programming, getting into the web design game etc …
In this podcast, I will answer a common question put to me every so often:
Do you need to go to web design school, or college, to become a professional web designer?
Check out the podcast in the killersites.com web design magazine:
web design school?
If you have any comments or any new questions you would like answered, just post a comment here or on the magazine and I will do my best.
Thanks,

Hi,
The following session answers a common question that has been put to me many times:
What hardware and software do you need to run a web design business? Do you need to upgrade to ‘industrial strength’ tools?
I also touch on a few other things that I know many of you will find interesting.
You can listen to the latest Business of Web Design podcast in the killersites.com magazine.

The ‘Business of Web Design‘ is an audio book/podcast series that teaches you to start and build a home based web design business.
I am still currently in the process of fleshing out all the details, but I do have a lot down on paper.
That said, I am very close to being ready to record the first (of many) sessions and I expect to have something out this week.
You can learn more about in the killersites.com magazine
