Standards-based design, development, writing and editing for the web
In May I lead two workshops at the Canadian Association of Labour Media conference in Saskatoon. Web design and writing for the web. The foregoing are links to the slide show and presentation notes done up as a single XHTML compliant page using S5, Eric Meyer's brilliant standards bases slide show system. July 25, 2009 07:52 PM
I'm back to using a big bad power-sucking computer with a bunch of hangers-on boxes for my routing solution. I feel much more confident now, but a bit bad about the extra wattage. May 19, 2009 10:14 PM
Do people actually know that on most sites, the logo is a link to the site's home page? April 24, 2009 05:05 PM
I just created a word processing document in Open Office 3, saved it in MS Word (dot doc) format and sent it off to the person who's going to handle formatting and whatnot. It's still a beta but I can now see the day when I can delete that monstrosity that is MS Office from my hard disk. May 15, 2008 03:37 PM
I am now one website away from never having to look at the underside of a Drupal website ever again. I'm excited. But a bit... tired. This is an explanation of how I migrated from Drupal 5.7 to Wordpress 2.5. May 14, 2008 11:28 PM
This is disappointing. The domain name registrar I use - and have been telling friends and clients to use - is one of those ones that does subdomain hijacking. April 30, 2008 08:07 PM
I have been using this file transfer client since it was in version 1.x. The latest re-release is a total disaster. It's just wasted an hour of my life. Don't install it, whatever you do. At least not until this purported 9.01 gets released. January 15, 2008 10:20 AM
I've put together a website for Ottawa singer-songwriter Teresa Healy and her musical and life partner Tom Juravich for their recently-launched CD, Tangled in Our Dreams. January 30, 2007 09:27 PM
I have installed a new server and migrated everything over to it. That feeling of accomplishment, smug satisfaction and self-congratulatory euphoria is washing over me. July 26, 2006 12:09 PM
I gave a workshop on web writing to a group of communications professionals all of whom had been in the biz since before ever there was an internet. (Mind you so have I, but never mind). When I told them that all their pithy, witty, teasing headlines had to go, the workshop went down hill. But now, even a newspaper - The New York Times - is saying writing has to change.
