Wow where on earth did 2009 go! If you are looking back through the archives on this site you might notice a fairly large gap between posts, in fact my last post was in March last year. There are a variety of reasons for this, the biggest one being that I have been working full time for a wonderful company for the last year and a bit doing front end UI development on a soon to be released web CMS.
This has been a huge change for me after so long working freelance. There have of course been positives and negatives to the changes but after a year I can honestly say that they positives far outweigh the negatives. I have had the opportunity to work on some huge projects that I would never had gotten the chance to work on 18 months ago and I have been working with some truly amazing people many of whom I now call friends. The regular pay cheque doesn’t hurt either! It is true that I can no longer work in my dressing gown but for friends, opportunity and financial security I can certainly live with that. In many ways, even though I loved working freelance and may go back to it one day, I wish that I had gone to work for a company sooner.

A useful little tool for those developing sites with lots of javascript.
If you have a site with lots of dynamic things going on refreshing the page and re-doing each step in a certain process everytime you make a change in the stylesheet can be frustrating. After having enough of this situation I did some googling and came across this handy tool. Add the bookmarklet to your toolbar then when you make a change to the stylesheet click it instead of refreshing the page to see your changes instantly without loosing any javascript generated content.
Here is the the linkif this sounds like it might come in handy http://david.dojotoolkit.org/recss.html.

I was recent asked to write a guest post for a web design blog on the subject of inspiration. After me taking a long time getting myself sorted it has gone live. I wanted to take this opertunity to thank Rohin for the opertunity to write for another blog and also for his patience!
Anyway here is a link to the post: Find Your Inspiration as a Designer and if you have a design float account a float wouldn’t go amiss (and there are more bookmarking links at the bottom if you are particularly keen). Would really appreciate it if you took a look!

I am about to start on the design for a site that I want to have a sort of underwater-y (yeah it’s a word… what of it!) look. Did a bit of research into other sites doing similar things and thought I would share a few with you.

I came across this interesting post the other day and it made me think about some usability issues which had seemed like common sense but that I had never really thought of.

I was passed a site design the other day to chop into XHTML/CSS and I knew right away I was going to have to deal with IE6 and transparent PNGs. There are many of these out there but there are a few that have, for me, stood out so I thought I would try and list a few of my favourites and layout some of their pros and cons.

My girlfriend asked me earlier about learning web design, she wants to learn something new and possibly something that could grow into a way of earning some extra money. As I am on hand to help with web design, this seemed like the obvious choice.

I decided that I don’t post enough about design and inspiration. I visit a lot of blogs and one of the main reasons is to get inspiration in one form or another. In light of this I thought I would share this video on youtube.

I have been a bit busy with work recently so I have not posted much recently. In the process of doing lots of work I have run into lots of problems. Today I finished up on a page on the site I am working on and tested in all the usual browsers, and lo and behold Internet Explorer 6 made it look wierd.
