I was up at 6am trying to wrestle back CollyLogic and The Libertines, and nearly gave up hope. I’ve just about had enough of our continuing problems with our Media Temple Appliance Server.
I’m looking for a little feedback for a forthcoming Expression Engine project. Do you use EE? Have you just started using it? Been using it for some time? If so, I’d appreciate your help.
Something to celebrate if you allow comments on your website. As you may know, those nice people at Google have implemented something special to counteract spammers. Brilliantly, the plug-in masters of all our favourite publishing systems have quickly given us what we need to take advantage of this new method.
A few loud voices in the web community are bemoaning the lack of fresh ideas, new techniques, and a drought of constant exploration and innovation from A-list, up-and-coming or guru-like bloggers and writers.
Woo-hoo! My Logical Blocks template has just won 2nd prize in the Expression Engine template contest. As you may know, I’m a big advocate of EE, and my prize of a $100 Amazon voucher, free copy of EE, and free hosting is a very nice Christmas present indeed. Read on…
Further to the previous post detailing multi-element rollovers, incorporating background color and XHTML text with images, I have created a pretty sturdy thing called Colly’s advanced rollover generator.
CSS rollovers are pretty common and well documented. However, for a recent project, I needed to make a button that revealed some background colour, contained markup text, and a border-less image. I also had to ensure all three elements could be easily edited. Straightforward? No. Neither text nor the text background could be part of the image, so I needed a CSS workaround.
Yesterday, I finally unpacked one of our two new G5s. This office is starting to look like some kind of filthy Apple Store - one where the staff don’t clean, they just drink Coke and leave stained tea cups everywhere.
I’m pleased to announce that we’ve finally completed version two of The Libertines official website. They’re still together, so it’s still important.
In search of knowledge and enlightenment, an unordered list of UK bloggers - a Brit Pack if you will - came from far, wide, and even Wales to pool ideas, thoughts and beer money.
