More on Fbook

Thanks to everyone who has used Fbook.us already. Over 100 people on the first day. I thought I'd share some tips about the service.

First is a little easter egg Naresh added in. If you'd like to see how many times your fbook address has been used, just type /stats/ …

Introducing Fbook.us

TXPQ also posted the second piece of their interview with me. If you'd like to check it out, give …

Styling Blockquotes

I've been playing with around with the styling of recently, so I thought I'd share a few tips on making a better looking blockquote or using CSS to add a little functionality. Here's my demo page. Take a look at it to see what I'm talking about.

Swiss Dot Tumblr Theme

It seems about time for another Tumblr theme. I wanted to put a little more time into this one than the last one, so I've set up a live demo to tinker with a bit before releasing it. Head on over and take a look, and if you like it, you know the drill. Download the

Settling in on a Design

As any designer can tell you, the hardest site to design is always your own. As is the case, I can never help myself when it comes to redesigning this one, no matter how long the previous design has been live. So with that, I give you Pixelspread Version 7. I decided I …

Textpattern Admin Theme

This is a little project I've been wanting to dig into for a while, so I finally took some time to do it recently. I've been a Textpattern user for a while, so it's always nice to find ways to improve or add to it. I love the way it functions, but I've never been a …

I recently did an interview with TXPQ (Textpattern Questions) about some of my work on the web and how I use Textpattern in a number of my projects. If you're interested, you can check out TXPQ.com. It's a two part interview, so you can read the first part now, and the …

Picboost Redesign

I just finished up a redesign for picboost.com today. This is another site coded by Naresh. It's a very simple service, just an easy way to host your images. No login required, no fluff, kind of like senduit. I've seen competing services, like TinyPic, but there are …

I've been working on a redesign and restructuring of EuniceWilliams.com for the past few days. I decided to run the site on Textpattern, so I've been coming up with some new techniques to make sure all the sections work properly. One of the requirements was that it has …

The Helvetica Soundtrack and El Ten Eleven

Since I got Helvetica on DVD, I've probably watched it about 5 times, extra features included. All of my friends are sick of hearing me talk about it, but if you haven't seen it yet, just drop the $20 and get it, or ask for it as a gift this holiday season. I don't …

CSS Remote Linking

This is a method I came across while watching a presentation by Douglas Bowman of Stop Design. It allows you to use the same link tag to control two elements in different places on a page. I wanted to play around with it myself, so I thought I'd share. Here's the …

Internet Explorer 8?

In case you missed it, a little discussion has popped up on the IEblog about Internet Explorer 8. Anyone who's ever read this knows I'm not a big fan of IE, but it's nice to see the IE crew has a sense of humor. Here is a list of possible names that have been ruled out …

Documentaries

I've been reading through The Documentary Blog for a while now, looking for some new documentaries to check out. I've watched a lot over the past year, so I thought I'd list some of my favorites, and ask what everyone else has been enjoying. Here's my …

Guide to Being a Stand Up Comedian

This is actually completely unrelated to web design. It's more in the vein of How to Not Die. I just finished reading Ant Farm so I'm in that kind of mood. This is my guide to being a stand up comedian, based on what I've seen from popular comedians.

So... …

This is a Pylon

I'm sure if you've read this blog for any amount of time, you know that I'm pretty interested in typography. One of the things I find fascinating about type is that there are still discovers to be made and gaps to be filled. It often times seems like an artform that's …

CSS Percentage Bars

I thought of another reason for a little fun with CSS today: percentage bars. First of all, here's the example I've uploaded.

Now let's start building the first bar. We're going to use two div elements likes this:

File Type Link Labeling

I was reading a blog post about PDF Link Labeling the other day, which was inspired by another article by Garret Dimon. I really liked the idea so I thought I might be able to expand on it, and create some icons that anyone can use for their own site.

As I've been …
