1 guy is hacking my Word Press blog
Before you get too gung ho about IP banning, keep in mind that most people are now surfing with dynamic IPs. If you see a hacker and block his IP, you are blocking the IP not the hacker. He could easily be back shortly on a new IP but other people o…

Is There a Better, Faster Way?
I've tried various wysiwyg editors in the past and hated them all. There are some that aren't quite wysiwyg where I felt I was still in control but didn't feel they really helped the process any. Until very recently, I've used wo…

Pros/Cons of offering hosting?
I've toyed with the idea a number of times.The big reason I haven't is that if anything goes wrong, they will expect me to fix it. If they are unhappy with the hosting, they will see it as my fault. If they get hacked, they will blame me f…

Do you? Should I?
I use two stylesheets: a reset.css that stays the same for all sites and a stylesheet.css that is specific to each site. Keep in mind that every stylesheet that you use beyond the first is an unneccessary http request which slows down page loading.

Space between divs in IE
Another technique is to detect the user agent and if the user is using an older version of IE (that exhibits this problem), send a large electrical current back to the user's machine. When that causes the smoke and stink to be let out of the us…

Do you frown on 'shortcut' classes?
Thanks Cotton, Solid reasoning. That makes great sense. And I definately like the term Utility Classes better than Shortcut Classes. As to redeclaring .red as blue or bold... I am one of those sick individuals who would rather manually change 1000…

Vertical alignment of markers

Looking for Coda-like editor for Windows

Empty divs just feel wrong...
