Most amazing javascript web app I’ve ever seen

Friday, July 10th, 2009

280 Slides is the most impressive javascript-based web app I’ve ever seen. It’s a presentation system that basically blows any online presentation creation system I’ve ever seen. It uses a framework “Cappuccino” and programming language written in javascript “Objective-J”. I was testing this on Safari 3.

SEO – tags of choice

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) can be improved on a site by using a variety of different tags, not just div and span.
The header tag hierarchy is a prime example of SEO and tag choice. An <h1> tag is seen as more important than an <h2> tag.
A <strong> tag will bring greater importance to set of words that you may want as a keyword. Using <blockquote> and <q> on different quotations. <big> will bring emphasis to content.

Safari 3 Bug – CSS Style sheet

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Safari 3 had an issue with computing this following style statement that was placed at the top of a CSS file, which in turn was imported into another CSS document and that document was called in by an HTML document.
So basically; index.html: –> css.css: @import url(/css/index.css); –> index.css had the offending code:

@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
#col1 {
float:left;
width:250px;
}


Removing the character set statement and the comment “CSS Document” fixes the issue.
So:

#col1 {
float:left;
width:250px;
}

Works.

Coda, Panic’s programming program

Friday, May 15th, 2009

After a lot of back and forth, with new coding apps I’ve started and stuck with Coda. It’s not perfect by any means, but it is solid, easy to use, simple and the people at Panic are helpful.

I guess I’m just not an Emacs with GIT kinda guy… ;)

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Ran into this issues today with Firefox 2.0.0.20 (something like that).

Set the width of the floating div and that fixed the issue for me.
