See that?

Look closer - that’s light at the end of the tunnel.  I was just pointed (thx Brad) to the IEBlog where news of IE8 passing the Acid 2 was announced.

Let the celebrating begin - bye bye IE6 (hopefully).

Andy Clarke has a great post about the future of CSS. You should read it, think about it, comment on it and then see where we all end up in 2008. As I’ve said before, it’s going to be an interesting year.

UPDATE:

So not two hours after I read Mr. Clarke’s post and wrote about it above, I saw (thank you Snitter) that Mr. Meyer has crafted a post in response. I left my own comment on Andy’s blog and as I said, as an industry we can and should have more of a say in these things. I also agree that the Opera lawsuit against Microsoft is a year too late.

You can now see the presentation on CSS I gave at the Cleveland Web Standards Association.

There’s a great article (as usual) over at Andy Rutledge’s blog. In bad layout conventions, he highlights some of the “bad” choices web designers make when, predominantly, moving their product from print to web.  Choices such as 3-column or broadsheet newspaper layout come under Andy’s eye and he breaks down the supposed pro’s and con’s.

I’ve always found the layout “discussion”, both internally and with clients, coming down to siding with the familiar. Hopefully as more people, such as Andy, talk about the need to shift focus from emulating the old and forging ahead with the new we will see the web shift more towards it’s potential.

Perfect time for us around Cleveland to start thinking about this and be part of the change.
