Friday, May 2nd, 2008CSS Reset Stylesheets
Friday, April 18th, 2008From No CSS Reset by Jonathan Snook:
“The problem I’ve had with these resets is that I then find myself declaring much more than I ever needed to just to get browsers back to rendering things the way I want. As it turns out, I’m perfectly happy with how a number of elements render by default. I like lists to have bullets and strong elements to have bolded text.”
I echo that declaration. I too used to start my stylesheet with the famous
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
The I found that I was putting back the same formatting that was already set by default on most of the elements.
As for building a base CSS stylesheet, I do have one but it mostly only contains the main separations for a site like #header, #content, etc…
Reviving old blog entries
Monday, April 14th, 2008I actually started blogging more seriously back in 2003 or around that time. I had a few Jeep write-ups then which I found out through WP.com stats that I’m still getting referrers from various Jeeps forums so… with that in mind I decided to “revive” some of my old posts (there’s still in the database collecting dust).
Now I need to find all the pictures that were associated with all those write-ups and put them up on flickr so I can reference them again.
Need some inspiration?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008As I said in my first blog entry, I have started a business with 3 great friends of mine. Unfortunately, friends I have never met because of the distance separating us. Hopefully, we will be able to change that at one point
The Web Squeeze is a Web Design and Development magazine and forum. We have just updated the design (v1.5) and I think it’s looking really great. Our forum is getting busier and busier by the day so that’s really good news.
