			    <title><![CDATA[Eight harsh truths for clients about web design]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Every now and then we all have to deal with a client who has &lsquo;interesting&rsquo; ideas for their web site. You know the type &ndash; the guy who wants an animated background, or the girl who insists on having all the text coloured light grey on a white background at 10 points.
When it comes to web design, I&rsquo;m a firm believer in the philosophy that the client is rarely if ever right. I justify this seemingly obtuse position like this: Would you tell a pilot how to fly an aeroplane? Or tell a mechanic how to fix your car? Of course you wouldn&rsquo;t, because....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[Adobe WorkflowLab: Worth keeping an eye on]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Adobes' new Air application WorkflowLab is an attempt to simplify the process of introducing the stages involved in  projects to team members, who may or may not have already tackled said projects previously. Yeah it's a work flow application.
Having such a tool is a great way to make it easy for a new team member to hit the ground running, or anyone for that matter to have their hand held through each stage of development.
In this industry there is obviously a high reliance on Adobe products so it makes sense tha....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[Create a CSS image sprite based feature box]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Inspired by some of the excellent feature boxes I've seen on countless sites, I thought it about time I made my own but only using CSS and the excellent image sprite technique. Not familiar with image sprites? Here's a quick primer.
Note that this feature box would still work perfectly fine if you were to have each image separate, but less images means less HTTP requests and a less 'laggy' responsiveness for the user. Here's what it looks like:

			    <title><![CDATA[A few good practices for optimising your CSS]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Like any programming language, CSS can be used in many ways while still achieving the same result. And although sometimes there isn't necessarily just a single 'correct' way to achieve a certain goal, one thing we can all agree on is that clean optimal code is always better than bloated code.
With this in mind I thought I'd share some of the techniques that if you aren't already practising them, maybe this article will inspire you to start.
Use CSS Shorthand
This is  the art of combining all the properties of an element into a single line. Some exampl....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[Fixing the 'read more' problem]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[In my continuing journey to be as anal as humanly possible regarding web standards, I thought it about time to look at one of my pet peeves - the 'read more' link, also commonly known as  'more info' and sometimes 'keep reading'.
You know what I'm talking about of course. The links like you see on the homepage of this very blog, where content is truncated and followed by a 'read more' link leading to the full article.
There's nothing wrong with this practice and in fact it it's an ideal way of fitting points of interest on a single page, especially when you nee....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[Mobile web design: What I've learned]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Just like designing for the desktop screen, designing for mobile devices comes with its own set of hurdles and considerations.
Not all mobile browsers are created equal, and you'll need to be aware of their positive aspects and failures alike. Some mobile browsers allow you to zoom in and out of a page for easy access to links, some don't. Some allow you to change the aspect ratio and some don't. And of course mobile devices have varying screen resolutions, and are nowhere near the same as their desktop counterparts. If you thought designing for 800x600 years ago was p....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[It's been a long time coming, but thanks to the consistent nagging of a certain few subscribers (don't worry, I won't call you out) you can now enjoy this blog in a handy mobile device formatted flavour.
So far I've been able to test on the Nokia Mobile Browser, Opera Mini 4 and the new Opera Mini 5 (beta), and I've received feedback from a twitter follower who says it &quot;seems to run fine on iPod touch running OS 3.0 and safari&quot;.
I'd be appreciative of anyone who can give me feedback regarding their mobile browser of choice.

			    <title><![CDATA[Demystifying Google's text-indent mystery]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Once upon a .com boom time, back when search engines predominantly ranked sites based on keywords alone, there was a common practice in SEO carried out by every web designer and his dog - something called 'cloaking', a form of keyword spamming.
This practice at the time was allegedly the Holy Grail of ranking highly in search engines, and usually consisted of spamming your page with keywords that were invisible to the user but visible to search engines &ndash; white text against a white background was a common method.
Naturally it didn't take long before search....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Although CSS3 isn't mainstream enough that we can adopt it wholly without regard, we can however start using it knowing that it will degrade gracefully enough with minimal impact on our designs.
Aside from beginning your familiarisation process with CSS3, another advantage is that as more browsers start to support it, users with supported browsers (Firefox and Webkit based browsers at time of this blog post) will start noticing the nicer &lsquo;changes' you've made to your web site.
If you want to take advantage of some of the....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[10 mistruths about Web Standards]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Web standards can be technically described as a collection  of strict disciplines we use to create content accessible via the World Wide  Web. The term is also associated with building said content according to the  best practices outlined by the W3C and other professional web organisations at  large.
But Web Standards aren&rsquo;t immune to the myths perpetrated by  noobs and professionals alike, and heck even I&rsquo;ve been guilty at an early stage  of my career of contributing. But if you tell anyone I said that I&rsquo;ll deny it.
Myth 01: Web Standards i....]]></description>
