Make Sure Recipients Can Read Your Email
My wife got a newsletter today from Bath & Body Works. She gets them quite often, but I haven’t really looked at them before. I use Mozilla Thunderbird for our email program and have the images turned off for most everyone. The first thing that I though of is “Wow this sucks, I can’t read […]
Happy CSS Naked Day
Once a year is CSS Naked Day. Even though this it the fourth annual Naked Day, I have considered it, but chickened out the last three years. This year I have removed all CSS from this website, stripping it entirely of its design. The idea behind this event is to promote Web Standards. Plain and […]
Tweet This
I have been reading quite a bit on social media lately and Twitter in particular. I thought I would try some of the strategies that I have seen to make this site better by bring more visitors to the site. I am always looking for more customers, inbound links and visitors to comment on my […]
Web Design Survey, 2008
A List Apart has published their findings from the 2008 Web Design Survey. There’s some very interesting information there. Looks like people my age are a tiny minority (much less than 6%), but I’m right in there for most of the other categories. Findings from the Web Design Survey, 2008
Browser Wars, Part Whatever
Not too long ago I wrote about how it would be nice if we could get rid of IE6 on the web. Recently the more I’m reading about browsers the more I think that IE in general is losing the war. Several years ago when Microsoft pushed Netscape off of everyone’s computer it was declared […]

Design Your Site For Todays User
Back in the good old days (mid 90’s) you didn’t even have to consider what a visitor were using to view your site. You viewed everything in Internet Explorer and made it look good in that. My friends used to think I was nuts for wasting my time looking at my site with Netscape. Today […]
Don’t Be Afraid Of Listening To Your Customers
I know of many businesses that are scared to death of using social media. They fear someone writing something bad about them. Worse yet if it’s a blog they are writing something bad about us on our own website. It seems to me that if someone has something bad to say about you or your […]
Do Cameras Prevent Crimes?
It’s finally going to happen. As I wrote in my post Pittsburgh Happenings – The ‘Burgh Sees All, Pittsburgh PA is going to install cameras everywhere. The manufacturers claim that they help solve and prevent crimes. Well, of course they say they do, they’d be foolish to say anything else, they want to sell these […]
