Sorry for the delay getting these out .. been busy and a little sick lately. Stef

Hi, Interesting ... but, that's the problem I have with a lot of these CSS 3 techniques - you can't use them on live web sites since IE doesn't support a lot of this stuff. I wrote a little blog post argument about this recently: Should web designers be learning HTML 5? Stefan

Wow, that's weird? You'd figure Apple would take into account such things and adjust accordingly. Stef

If want eclipse to be able to track things for you, then yes. You will probably have to establish projects using Eclipse. Another one to look at that I hear is good is Netbeans ... another free program. Stefan

I don't think Dreamweaver CS4's code editor can auto complete custom code. But it does have some capability with core Javascript libraries and PHP. That said, Dreamweaver CS5 will be out any week now and I'm guessing it could have expanded code editor functionality. Stefan

That's not too bad considering that CS2 is three versions old. Stefan

Wow, Kyle has done a complete 180 .. from unrepentant hard-core web standards nerd, to knife carving Alaskan canine handler! Hey, whatever works for you, I'm all for it! Me, I'm still a nerd who keeps trying to get a bigger TV.

Hi, It's interesting how we see a lot blog/cms based web design these days - something I've been a proponent of for several years now. Stefan

What CMS have you've been using for your projects?

Hi Guys, @Eric: - congratulations on the soon to be new boy. Did you pick a name? - sorry to hear work is not coming in ... I hope to help people with that over time around here. - failed business ventures are part of the game in business. I've been an entrepreneur since I was 19, and I can't tell you how many of my business ideas collapsed under the weight of my dumb-ass! ... Sometimes though, it's just bad timing. - congratulations on the book. And I agree, I think it is important to see projects through. Stefan

We also have a set of PHP OOP tutorials. We also have a PDF on PHP OOP as well.

Hi, Since I hear that many of you just jump to the forum, I figured I let you know about a little blog post I made regarding the recent scuffle between Apple and Adobe over Flash. From the article: ... Strange quoting oneself. Anyway, here is the link: Adobe vs Apple Stef

As some of you may have noticed, we had a server issue today and we were down for a little while. ... I haven't had time to investigate the issue, but it seems to have been an overload on the MySQL database. Anyway, we are back up - needless to say. Stefan

Hi, I just spent the last two days recording and editing a bunch of new video tutorials on installing and configuring the latest version of Wordpress - 2.9.2. I created the videos for a new book on Wordpress that will be hitting the shelves within the next few months. But for members of Killersites University (our video tutorial subscription service) ... you will not have to wait, since I will be putting them online within a few days. ... The only problem with the videos, is that I recorded them while I was losing my voice; it sounds at times, like I am whispering instructions. Stefan

Hi Jen, Thanks for posting that. A good place to pick some CSS tips on page layout is on our dedicated CSS site. Stefan

I am not sure what this letter/email is saying ...? Can you give us some background on this? Stefan

It will be soon ... Stef

Hi, The solution is simple, learn basic HTML and CSS. My beginners course on web design will do the trick. These days, IMHO, if you want to publish on the Web in a serious way (and even if you use Wordpress or some other content management system) you should still learn the basics of web design so you know your way around ... even just a little. Stefan

Wow! This truly amazes me given the big text links and banner on the home page ... ... I guess we have some work to do regarding that. Stefan

Hi, As web designers and developers, we always have to keep an eye out on the browser trends, so we know where to focus. To that point, Firefox continues to eat away at the market, putting pressure on the other browser makers, which means in the end, better web browsers! From an article on Readwriteweb: Stefan
