I already had a wish list for FireFox to make it a perfect browser but now it seems that one item from that list is solved. Meet the Bookmarks Synchronizer for Firefox.

I’m using and reading a lot about web standards for a while now, and it’s becoming clear to me that using these standards isn’t just something to be proud of to say “hey your site validates welcome to the club”, it’s so much more. But unfortunately you sometimes get the feeling that when you do you are part of an “elite” of web designers and that’s it. Just using it and telling others about it etc. is not enough. Thing is, if we only do this then I think next year and the year after that everything will still be the same, a small group of designers will use web standards but the majority will still create I.E. only websites etc. So my question is, where do we go from here?

Greg Storey had a Canadian domain but since he is an American it’s look like it is no longer possible to own such a domain. So Greg has moved to a new location http://www.airbagindustries.com. His blog is still alive and kicking for those of us who read it on a regular basis.

A perfect opportunity to switch to FireFox if you’re still surfing with Internet Explorer. FireFox is not only a more secure browser but also a close follower of web standards, for this reason alone it should have a place on your HD. It’s still a beta but on my Mac it is as stable as Safari.

Maybe some of you are familiar with this I.E. bug, but I wasn’t until recently. While working on a project and going out of my mind wondering why my margin on the left had this huge gap, I started to search the web for some solution. Since I did all sorts of tricks with it, I was almost 100% sure that it must be another I.E. bug that I didn’t know of. I’m still learning since I started with CSS2 just in January of this year…

My friends often wonder why I put all this energy in my blog and how I find the time for this. The greatest reward for all that are the comments and the fact that it is still growing. So you get to enjoy it more and more. Today I have this good feeling again.

It’s time to experiment a little in Flash MX. Maybe you’ve been wondering how certain things work in Flash like producing random shapes for example. Well levitated.net is a site filled with Flash source files. All a bit experimental but still a great resource in my humble opinion. I am sure some of these examples will set the wheels of creativity in motion ;-)

Maybe you don’t know who Jakob Nielsen is, he’s a usability expert with an ugly website called Alert Box. Some of you might have discovered this article, but for those who didn’t, I can only advice to take a look and read the story. Design and usability don’t always go hand in hand so prefectly. But now a team of web professionals has proven the oposite in a superb piece of kraftmanship on guidelines for visualizing links.

Yesterday I was working on a horizontal navigation with vertical submenus in CSS using list items. This is normally not that difficult if you don’t have to deal with Internet Explorer. You just use the :hover pseudo class to let the submenus appear when you hover the main menu buttons. Since this is not supported by I.E. you have to find a smart way to get around this.
