CSS Tools: 20+ Tools For Working With CSS
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Having del.icio.us‘d this, I thought it would be good to highlight the number of tools to make your management of CSS easier.
A selection of tools to help you clean up your CSS and optimize it by reducing the number of empty lines in the code. However, bear in mind, this may make it very hard to follow when doing future updates to your CSS files.
One that I found useful is the CSS Redundancy Checker for checking larger CSS files and large web sites, it looks at any redundant code and repetitive code you may have. Especially if dealing with a large site that has code from previous layouts and styles. Again cleaning up the files, making leaner and cleaner.

May 11, 2007 by Jim Callender
★★★★☆
A review of last nights presentation on Microformats by Jeremy Keith, at the Lighthouse, Brighton.
It was a relaxed affair, Skillswap’s 3rd event this year.. There was about 15 other freelancers in a room with Jeremy on a sofa in front of a projector..
get your twitters to go..
Friday, May 4th, 2007Released today is Twitter for mobile..
Announced by Ev, in a very subtle announcement.
All I can say is.. ‘oh dear, please stop making it more addictive than it is already’.. Probably one of the most visited sites in my daily routine, apart from gmail and the google reader.
It’s a tempting offer.. to add to the ever growing suite of ways to keep in touch with your friends and colleagues..
Improvements to Jayonline
Friday, April 13th, 2007I’ve found some time and only gone and added extra functionality to Jayonline.
1/ AJAX functionality - to show the blog feed on the homepage which is in HTML format.
Partly due to Jeremy Keith writing ‘Bulletproof AJAX‘, a book which I have read recently. He has some examples of the code online, which is a great place to start playing around and seeing how the functionality can work for you.

The Highland Fling ‘progressive enhancement’ conference review
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007Notes of the inaugural Scottish web conference organised by Alan White
An early start from Brighton to attend a conference in Edinburgh, with an interesting title. As Edinburgh is not in the highlands, but perhaps a great subtitle of progressive enhancement to attract us southerners to make the trip across the borders.
Aim of conference: The first Scottish conference based on progressive enhancement demonstrating what we can do today for tomorrow > learning the correct methods of web development > progressive enhancement of the web.
