What a sad state of affairs…
April was the last post on this site about generating buzz from within the web design community in Cleveland. How sad. Tina, I guess one of the creators/designers who took time to put up the site, posts (bravo), nothing in the Google Group for this and random attempts that people have seemed to give up on.
Here’s my attempt to kick start something:
- Who’s played around with CSS3 and who has been brave enough to implement it on a clients site?
- Anyone started to use microformats yet?
- We (Optiem) are looking for a Senior Flash/Interactive Designer as well as a Flash Interactive Designer. Any takers?
- Transparent PNGs in IE6 - Why do they crap out on a Dell laptop at 120dpi and nothing else?
- How do I get in and fix the unordered lists formatting for these posts?
Write a comment, please! I’m sure there’s more than four of us out there

Unfortunately, we still have IE6 with a little under 1/2 of the browser share. I’ve used various techniques such as IE conditional comments (ex: …) and there are some good PNG IE hacks on the web using IE filters to solve the PNG issues.
Microformats is an interesting topic. Many clients are seeing the SEO benefits of an accessible CSS driven layout. This would help in those areas as well. I don’t hear much demand for Microformats, but it’s interesting to see where we will be in terms of semantic markup in a year or two. Building a business case for using microformats would help in communicating the value of this approach.

Hi Sean,
I don’t think we’ll ever really hear a client demanding microformats on their site.
I do feel if we (developers) use them as part of our normal development process and more sites, such as Google Maps, begin adopting them the client will be happy with the results. And it definitely is a step closer to a usable Semantic Web.
