Comments on comments

Examining the results of the comment experiment.

Comments on community

Be careful what you wish for when you’re building social software: not all communities are beneficial.

The comments of crowds

Comments are enabled… but with a twist.

No comment

Paul Haine got in touch with me and asked:

Reflection

Balancing my time between activism and just being me makes me a complacent zealot.

Commentary

Backing up my position on blog comments with some quotes.

Further comment

Following up on the comments controversy.

CSS round-up

It’s been a busy week for Cascading StyleSheets.

Still broken

The default behaviour of Internet Explorer’s new version switching is still very, very wrong.

Ship talk

A distributed online conversation.

Little Green Hate

I find it interesting that a number of bloggers have been echoing exactly the same sentiments I’ve been feeling about a site called Little Green Footballs.

Word Of The Day

After I wrote my slightly offensive little rant, I was assailed by niggling twinges of doubt. Could it be, I wondered, that I came across as being… a nit-picker? (gasp!)

Typographilia

It’s good to talk about typography. The last few weeks have been particularly good.

Name That Script! by Trent Walton

A presentation at An Event Apart Boston 2018.

The W3C Patent Policy

The World Wide Web Consortium has come under a lot of fire recently for burying a proposal that would allow its recommendations to be released under a fee-paying licence.

Regurgitating the chestnut

Andy Clarke has resurrected the always topical issue of fixed width vs. liquid layouts. This is something that also arose on the Brighton New Media mailing list last week.

Divination of the DOM

As one year wanes and another waxes, it’s traditional for newspapers, television programmes and websites to post lists. Usually those lists offer a backwards-over-the-shoulder look at the year gone by as they posit the best movies and music of the l

Gotta keep 'em separated

A little while back, Derek Featherstone started a discussion about what he called browser elitism. There were some interesting and very revealing comments.

Everything old is new again

I’ve switch CMSs for this site. It’s still home-rolled.

Wordridden revisited

Jessica’s site has undergone a transformation.

More thoughts on portable social networks

The Web is about distribution, not centralisation.

And debate goes on

Civilised discourse on icons and data formats.

Ghost in the Machine Tags

You can now associate Flickr pics with my posts.

Wireframework

Frameworks have their place… but that place probably isn’t on the Web.

Banishing the moaners and whingers with a healthy dose of amazing videos.

Broken

The default behaviour of Internet Explorer’s new version switching is very, very wrong.

Misunderstanding markup

In which I permit myself a moment to gloat about liquid layouts.

Is this a Religious War?

The principles of free (usually democratic) societies are *inclusive* in nature: different faiths, different lifestyles, different value systems coexisting in relative peace. There is generally a seperation of Church and State, as well as freedom of speec

How to Think Like a Front-End Developer by Chris Coyier

Lists

Do websites need to sound the same in every screen reader?

Tweaking Huffduffer

An oEmbed nip here, a responsive design tuck there.

A Fair Cop

As I pass by the newsagents on the way to my house, I always enjoy trying to make sense of the curt headlines that are posted outside. "Binmen Lorry Chain Protest" for instance.

Thoughtcrime at Dooce.com

This is pretty shocking. Heather Hamilton has lost her job because she keeps an online journal.

Even more Attack Of The Clones

Jessica and I went to see Attack of the Clones again today. Here’s my (spoiler-free) review.

It's a small world after all

I’ve had my iSight for almost a year now but lately it’s been getting a real workout.

Have t-shirt, will travel

I just finished coding an e-commerce site with Message. The Rapha website, selling cycling apparel, has launched just in time for the Tour de France.

Applied Ajax

Finally, I no longer have to use the tongue-twisting phrase XMLHttpRequest every time I want to talk about a web app that uses JavaScript to make calls to a web server. Jesse James Garrett has coined the term Ajax: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.

Edge words

Talking about progressive enhancement without talking about progressive enhancement.

Timeless

Who knows where the time element goes?

The medium is the short message

The limits of Twitter.

One day training in DOM Scripting

I’m going to spend Wednesday, July 20th delivering some hands-on training in DOM Scripting. If you’ve got the time and the means, please do come along to The Leathermarket in London.

DOM Scripting: the website of the book

The countdown begins. I’ve finished writing my book. It’s being hammered into shape at the print foundries as we speak. It should hit the shelves by the middle of September.

Connecting the dots

Whilst trawling through my regular RSS feeds last month, I came across this plea from Min Jung Kim:

Will the circle be unjerking - a roundup of this year's roundups of this year

As 2005 draws a close, a blogger’s thoughts inevitably turn to analysing, cataloging, listing and rating all the analysis, catalogues, lists and ratings from the preceding twelve months.
