We’ve now started putting together a resources page.

Here we’ll list books, websites, online tools and browser add-ons to help you build and test your websites.  So far we have links for web standards, validation, tools and CSS - We are also going to be posting links to our own collections of bookmarks for those particular headings.

Hope you find them useful.

As you may be able to tell we have a new design.

Tina has done a great job getting this together in her non-existent “free” time.

If you see anything that we’ve missed please feel free to email or leave a comment.

Mobile Web Design, the book, that is.

I’ve been waiting for this to be published for some time.  I was lucky enough to “attend” (at the godforsaken hour of 6am) a webinar on mobile design that the W3C hosted which had Cameron speaking on this very subject.  He does a great job presenting facts and the PDF is laid out well with lots of photos and examples.

I haven’t read it yet, so don’t consider this a formal review, but if you are interested in mobile web design with standards in mind, check it out.

When this article showed up in my feed reader this morning, I couldn’t contain my excitement.  That’s why I’m sharing it with you: CSS@Ten: The Next Big Thing, by Håkon Wium Lie (the guy who proposed CSS), talks about web fonts, their history and their future. There’s some pretty exciting stuff in there–I highly recommend a read, then a re-read.

We’ve all felt the need to editorialize from time to time in our comments. It can be cathartic to be a smartass when documenting, or name variables in such a way that shows our displeasure with a task. It’s tempting, sometimes, to put something where you think the client or public will never see it. Be warned: it can rebound on you, making you look unprofessional, and, well…like something of a dork to boot.

A good example of this is what just happened in Cool Cleveland. They recently printed an a letter from one of their readers who was offering some thoughtful criticism of the site.

Note, however, the anchor on the link:

That’s enough to get you fired some circles. Learn from this mistake, and be professional.
