I Like (Stealing? Borrowing?) Your Colors (April 8, 2005 03:12 PM)
Do you like someone else's web design color scheme? Curious as to what color codes are used? Try Red Alt - I Like Your Colors. Just enter a URl, and it fetches the colors used as defined in HTML or CSS (some sites seem not to give them up as... «more»

This Old Home Page (and mastering web redirection) (February 3, 2005 10:38 PM)
Do you remember when the web was young and everything was about having a "Home Page"? The legacy is still there in our web browser's "Home" button (and do you wonder why we are limited to one home?). In fact, when I started our web server in 1993, like others,... «more»

Best 404 In a While (January 27, 2005 07:15 AM)
Following a link in an email notification from Jay Allen's Comment Spam web site, I came across the best "404 Document Not Found" page I've seen in a while: For more fun things like this, or if you have some large amounts of time to idle away, check out the... «more»

Build Your Own DeliciousFurlBagConnotea Marklet Maker (January 13, 2005 11:08 PM)
I recently wrote of some JavaScript glue-ing I did to create a tool that allows my to take any web page in view, and submit it with one click to Furl, del.icio.us, Connotea, and our own Bag of URLs (see A Cup of Connotea: A New del.icio.us Flavor of Social... «more»

Hero's Journey Project Desperately Needs Web Programming/Design Update (January 9, 2005 10:28 PM)
Help! I am in search of someone, some benevolent group, maybe a web design/development class project, willing to do an overhaul of a writing site that very much needs an update. Is this a lot to ask for? I just lack the time and resources to do it myself, and... «more»

I Spent All Afternoon Writing One E-Mail Message (December 7, 2004 05:18 PM)
No, I did not have writers block or a novel to compose. Actually the email question was not even mine, but written to be sent under someone else's name. Could this be Alan's Secret Neutron Bomb that would eviscerate spammers? Nahhhh, ya must be dreamin'. Now, these are some messages... «more»

No Excuse for Linkrot (September 17, 2004 09:25 AM)
Linkrot is a preventable scourge- it is rampant despite the available of utterly simple solutions. What is Linkrot? Jakob coined it early, when web sites are "improved" or "redesigned", often web urls are changed, or files are moved to a new directory, or just taken off the server. This is... «more»

Survey Sez.,. (September 15, 2004 05:50 PM)
Okay, 14 readers took the time to try the goofy, meaningless survey I posted as a quick demo of using phpQuestionnaire. The survey is open, and I have set this one up so the results are publicly viewable: http://zircon.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/phpq/stats.php?sid=3. What was nice was that I could tweak it in midstream... «more»

Take A New Survey Tool For a Test Drive (September 2, 2004 11:06 PM)
In the last two years, we have home spun 4 or 5 online surveys for our projects. It took a bit of elbow grease in PHP and mySQL to get a decent system, and we were successful in creating a usable form for our survey-ees and a reporting tool. But... «more»

Best Quote (Today) About HTML (August 9, 2004 05:39 PM)
Phil Ringnalda provides a surgical view of the new MSN blog pages- beyond the wonderfully dense details, I loved this quote: The HTML is, of course, execrable. The one possible way they could have gotten some approving buzz from tech bloggers was to use extremely clean (X)HTML, but given the... «more»

Tom, Here's an Interface for Ya! (July 28, 2004 09:41 PM)
Tom Hoffman, blogther (="blog+author", eh?) of Tuttle SVC wrote today about an interest in two-person interfaces: What occurred to me is that there are lots of jobs in real life where you have two people collaboratively operating one machine or even one set of data on paper, but I can't... «more»

Aggregators as Referrers? (June 4, 2004 08:59 AM)
There are people, likely those trying to make a buck off of RSS, who would like to measure how much "hit" there is from information syndicated as RSS Feeds, consumed, and hopefully clicked at. Checking your web server log for access of the RSS URL do not mean much, as... «more»

Web Ten Years (January 14, 2004 09:35 AM)
This year marks a number of ten year anniversaries for the web site we created in December 1993 for my office, the Maricopa Center for Learning & Instruction (MCLI). This ran on a humble Macintosh SE/30 sitting on a table in the hallway-- the very first web server in our... «more»

Updated jClicker- web slide show template (free too!) (January 6, 2004 09:55 PM)
Finally got around to some revamps to a web slide show template I've been rolling for a few years, the "jClicker" (little "j" is for JavaScript). We do many many photos for our many events at work, and this has been a very handy way to organize photos into a... «more»

FIPP Site Redux: Goodbye HTML Tables Hello XHTML/CSS (November 26, 2003 09:40 AM)
It's taken actually several weeks (off and on) to get a new web design up for our Faculty in Progress Program (FIPP). The old site was not horrible, but as this faculty recruitment program is in transition from an internal internship to one open nationally, and it was to be... «more»

Those low down dirty Bloogz (October 14, 2003 09:11 AM)
We always need more search engines, eh? Here is Blloogz which has no "about screen" but apparently walks many blogs to fuel the search tool. Not being sure, if this cogdog was "bloogz-ed", we added our URL to the crawl. Searches produces long lists, but page loads were a bit... «more»

"X" Marks the Spot- My first Pure XHTML foray (September 28, 2003 11:15 PM)
For the last two years, most of my web work has been deploying Cascading Style Sheets (one CSS styles several hundred web pages across our main mcli web site), but still couched in HTML tables for layout. I've been reading enough Zeldman and Meyers to take the leap. Eventually. This... «more»
