I frequently get information for our site at work in an Excel file. This leaves me with two options. The first is to save as HTML and wade through hours of trash markup. It’s no secret that Microsoft Office documents saved as web pages create messy markup. This is tedious and takes forever. […]
Firefox 1.5 is out and I can say, it is a great improvement. It’s faster, the friendlier error messages are real nice, and all the extras make it a great reason to upgrade from Version 1.06.
Firefox is also having an “open source” ad campaign, sort of like the Apple “Switch” campaign. They are allowing […]
I’ve been reading 24 Ways to impress your friends for about two weeks. It’s a site from Drew McClellan.
Each day from now until 24th December, we’ll be publishing a new short article or tip designed to teach you something that perhaps you didn’t know, and in turn can share with your friends. It’s a […]
I can’t believe that I have never seen this page before. It is a great resource on why we should use Web Standards, Table-less Layouts, and Accessibility. It’s easy to read and understand, plus it is doused with humor.

Highlights
All of Zeldman’s talks. Seriously, he is an excellent speaker. He knew what he was going to say, how to […]
Things are winding down now and it was a very informative day. A lot of things were common knowledge if you keep up with A List Apart articles and all the various blogs. There were definitely some good tips on CSS from Eric Meyer and tips on Accessibility from Jeffrey Zeldman.
Currently, Eric Meyer […]
Jeffrey, Jason and Eric are now taking sites that have been submitted in advance and critiquing them, offering some suggestions for how to improve them in terms of design or coding.

When Jason talked about the redesign of A List Apart, he focus in on the fact […]
