- The Man in Blue > footerStickAlt: A more robust method of positioning a footer
-
I'm always looking for ways to use CSS to enable layouts that weren't possible using other coding methods. Often I'll create the design first in Photoshop and then challenge myself to come up with a technical solution. This is how I came up with Emulating Position: Fixed; when working on Jade Lee's website. But sometimes it's nice to find a pure CSS solution to a common layout challenge that somebody else has come up with, and add that layout to the list of possible layouts next time you're designing in Photoshop.
As someone who steadfastly charges hourly for freelance work I try to avoid creating unnecessary code challenges for myself while in the design phase because when it comes time to code I'll either have to compromise the design or decide to put in extra un-billed hours because I want to solve the problem for personal reasons, but that would be bad business if I were doing freelance sites for a living rather than as a hobby to work on my design skills.

- SonSpring Design
- This site's one where you'll want to hold your breath and activate that IE View plugin. As much disdain as I do hold for American Christains, I link to this site for it's excellent message for Internet Explorer users (which for those not running IE on XP looks exactly like the warning messages in that woeful browser).

- The Christian Paradox (Harpers.org)
- This is why, with apologies to Josh and Doug, it is so easy to say, "American Christians fucking suck" without feeling too bad about it. But I will try to remember to include the "American" at the begining of that statement in future.

- The Word Nerds--A Weekly Podcast About Language
- traffic is particularly unpleasant during the summer, or maybe I'm just getting bored by the same drive every day, either way I was looking for something to shake it up a bit. So I commandeered Cybil's mp3 player and started downloading podcasts. Between this new one (new to me) and Science Friday I've got my commute covered for a while just catching up on their back lists.
