Writing on full-stack design & development.

Well, well. It looks like someone has been neglecting their blog.

Congrats to Brad Dielman for pulling in the win in this month's CSS Off. Attention to detail, clean code, and a sly use of hReview helped Brad in the newest victory for Cleveland. Nice work, Brad!

You may or may not have noticed, but there is a new section here. It consists of sites that I have saved to my Ma.gnolia account . Every day, I find things on the web that I want to share with people, but I haven't wanted to clutter up my blog to do so. The solution is Ma.gnolia. There's a feed and everything. I hope you find it useful/interesting.

So here's some good news. The guys over at CSS Off recruited five judges to help out, including yours truly.

So I've been thinking for a while about what I'd like to blog about, now that I'm at least comfortable (if not perfectly happy) with the presentation of dtott.com. What I decided on is starting an ongoing series of in-depth CSS tips. This will (obviously) be the first one.

The CSS Off guys announced today that the next contest will begin on September 15. Wooo!

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but Google Reader now has a search bar. Those of you who use it should be jumping up and down for joy. Those of you who chose another reader because for some unknown reason Google didn't include a search with their RSS aggregator can finally come back home.

Well, I made it almost a month since the last design change. However, this redesign is a little more extensive.

Turns out that there's an even easier way to create transparent favicons (assuming you have photoshop): A photoshop plugin . It supports transparency and, from what I can tell, creates better looking images altogether. Nice.

So I discovered the other day that it is possible to make transparent favicons. Favicons are a good idea. Transparent favicons are just awesome.
