OK, I’m finally back in Salt Lake and able to take a few minutes to post about my recent trip to Milwaukee to present to the Milwaukee Interactive Marketing Association (MIMA).

I am thoroughly impressed with the hospitality I was shown in Milwaukee. Everyone was very helpful and welcoming. I appreciate that very much. I intend to return to Milwaukee and see more of this great city.

Hi contactlab

Someone asked me recently why I liked Cascading Styles Sheets (CSS) and what makes CSS so great. The answer only makes sense if you know what CSS is.

HTML emails and CSS formatting will take a huge hit when Outlook 2007 starts taking up positions on millions of desktops, and email newsletter publishers will have to take some extra steps to ensure their creations render correctly. But even that isn’t a guarantee against problems with that new email program.

Barry Schwartz spotted a thread in the Cre8site Forums discussing a report by Ekstreme.com that Googlebot requested a CSS file. This is a very interesting, but not surprising development.

Developers at Adobe pursued improvements with the number one web development tool by focusing on an issue that has proven a real time waster for developers.

I recently had a chance to conduct an interview with Christopher Schmitt, author of the CSS Cookbook from O’Reilly, among other books.

IE Blog has a detailed listing of the CSS Changes in the new Internet Explorer 7. Some of the notable points -

You may or may not have heard that new releases are here or about to be here for Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Cascading style sheets were formally introduced by the W3C in 1997 and in the nine years since have made gradual progress to becoming a web standard.

You may have heard a lot lately about “Web standards.” I think it’s a good thing that web standards are getting more attention.

In the year of 2006 it can be hard to avoid doing web development to some extent no matter what kind of developer you are.

After reading a post on The Cafes about the lack of dynamics in the CSS language, I found myself inspired to do something about it.

Google’s GMail has a nice way of allowing you to add multiple attachments to an email.

Whether a developer prefers the Firefox web browser, or Internet Explorer, both have options available to make them effective tools for building websites.

Cascading Style Sheet standards compliance resided at the base of many complaints about Internet Explorer; its developers have made efforts to follow the standards better with IE 7, and for good reason as CSS can make a web developer’s life easier.

Microsoft made available the first release candidate version of Internet Explorer 7, which is expected to have its final release around the same time Windows Vista does.
