<head> Conference, MAX and a New Book!

October 22, 2008

There are several exciting, upcoming events I've been meaning to blog about but… life's been wild. This is my first blog post since making the move to Phoenix, Arizona, rewriting Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS4, and shooting a video for Pearson on CSS and Dreamweaver. I'll blog again when those two items have release dates. [...]

When the Legend Won't Wrap – Revisited for Firefox 3

July 4, 2008

Back in November, I wrote a blog post explaining a fix for the poor and varied rendering you will get with a wordy legend that forces its containing fieldset to be wider than you've specified. You can read more details in the previous post. In a nutshell, it involves placing a span within the legend. [...]

Designers AND Developers…

June 26, 2008

So there's been a pretty decent sized debate going on through the webosphere. Designers should know how to code. Developers should know how to design (or shouldn't need to design). I considered weighing in on the 37 Signals blog — but the comments were already closed. Call me slow (yes, I've been on the road, [...]

The New, Confusing, Online Social World

May 12, 2008

I'm not one to put a lot of personal information on my blog. I don't have problem with people that do it, it's just not my personal style. When I was first on the web, it took about 3 or 4 years before you could find a picture of me anywhere (as a woman, I [...]

Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS3

April 20, 2008

Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver CS3, the book I co-wrote with Greg Rewis, is finally out. Yes, I know, it was long overdue. I took a picture of it when I finally got to see it at Greg's house (no, my copies haven't arrived yet), so if you'll excuse the exhausted, traipsing around Phoenix all day [...]

An Event Apart, SXSWi, NAB, Web Design World, HOW Design, and more…

March 3, 2008

Coming up in the next couple months, I'll be at several conferences where I'd love to meet you! This week, Austin beckons! At South by Southwest Interactive, I'll be doing three panels. On Saturday, What Women Need to Succeed will explore women in technology–what it takes to make your mark and succeed in the tech [...]

Twitter – A New User's Guide

February 7, 2008

So maybe you've never heard of twitter, or maybe it's old news but you thought it seemed silly. That's what happened to me at first as well. A friend told me to check it out (with no instructions), I took a look at the home page, wondered why I cared what all those people I [...]

Scaling Fonts using em units

February 5, 2008

As I train all over the world, one of the issues I try to spend a good deal of time on is helping people to understand the malleable em unit. And how to utilize it for good and not evil. Anyone who knows me knows my burden for accessibility and the em unit is one [...]

Zooming Backgrounds in Internet Explorer 7

November 30, 2007

Recently, I did a presentation at Webmaster Jam Session in Dallas. In my session, one of the things I showed were some faux column techniques. During the QA at the end, a problem was brought up that I hadn't run into. The statement/question was that, evidently, there's a reported bug in Internet Explorer 7 (OMG, [...]
