Firefox 100% Height Bug Fix

Hello
I have to post this because I want to spread the word. I haven’t had this problem for a very long time because of the designs of my sites. But today I’ve been working on rebuilding someone’s site with valid mark-up, and while converting the table-based layout to semantic divs – I encountered the dreaded [...]

Sorry for my bad links

For some reason, for the past few weeks I’ve been directing links from my blog articles by going ‘click here’ or something similar instead of properly describing the link.
I’m really sorry! It’s not like me and it’s only when a good friend pointed out that I was throwing out these heinous links that I realised [...]

Just Ignore Pagerank

I used to be obsessed with Google Pagerank – constantly checking my sites to see if they’ve been upgraded, using SEO tools to analyse predicted future Pageranks and researching how long it had been since the last update and when we were due for the next.

To be honest I’ve neglected my photography recently which is an absolute sin. The purpose of the original post was to comment on another dimension of photography.

Google Health

What will they think up next? The latest addition to Google’s plethora of tools and services created to enhance your life in general – Google Health. I honestly wouldn’t have seen this coming.
Like everything Googley, Health is pretty cool. It allows you to add and store your medical records and history online, decide which health [...]

Facebook set for Makeover

I would hate to be the one to pass one false news to the masses, so I do hope I’m proved correct. According to a local radio station this morning – Facebook (I’m sure you’ve heard of it!) is lined up for a design makeover.
I personally don’t mind Facebook, regardless of rants I may have [...]

The Ebay Domain Market

When building websites for clients, the majority of the time I have no problem purchasing adequate domain names. Sometimes a desired URL may be taken, so I normally find a way around the problem by trying different extensions (eg .com, .co.uk, .net etc) and then slight variations on the company name. I’ve never been in [...]
