.redSPLASH - BlogShare what you know, learn what you don'tMonthly SVA Statistics- (Found July 8, 2008 ) This is just a re-post, that'll be reposted again, regularly at the beginning of each month. While the original Some SVA Statistics post stays as it is, this one gets updated each time. So here it is: the statistics of the download rates of SimpleViewerAdmin from its initial release on May 24th 2004 until the beginning of this current...http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/382-Monthly-SVA-Statistics.html The Forums are online- (Found July 8, 2008 ) This announcement informs you about the freshly created possibility to direct your questions, feature or support requests to the forums! If you used this site's contact section in the past, or are thinking about to do so to get in touch with me, I strongly recommend that you visit the forums now. For me, it'd be essentially the same, because I'd be checking the forums as regularly as I do my emails. But for you, the forums provide a great difference, which makes up a huge benefit, namely to...http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/448-The-Forums-are-online.html WordPress : Serendipity Shootout- (Found July 8, 2008 ) As some of you might know, I'm an avid longtime Serendipity-user, since the days of the good ol' version 0.3. Recently, I came around to in-depth test and (more important) compare the features, usability aspects, requirements etc. of S9Y, NucleusCMS, and WordPress. I evaluated which of the products is the most suitable for usage in our corporate website. My base to start from was BlogBreakDown, which is a pretty comprehensible technical comparison chart of all major blogging tools. There were..http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/449-WordPress-Serendipity-Shootout.html Wishlists for IE7- (Found July 8, 2008 ) After several rumors (at least at first), and an announcement later, IE 7 seeming to become more a reality than a eventuality, Chris Wilson uttered about IE and Standards in Microsoft's official IE blog, and several well-known web developers wrote down their wishes: Anne van Kesteren, Roger Johannson, Steve Smith.http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/450-Wishlists-for-IE7.html Google tributes Mac OS X- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Since Google offered a specific web search interface for AppleMacintosh related queries for quite a while. I recently became aware that Google X pays homage to Mac OS X, which sports features of Mac OS X's Dock (see screenshot below).

And one of the sexiest color combos is the above one, which will very likely become the color scheme for the next major update of .redSPLASH.http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/452-Color-Combos.html Essential Fonts for Designers- (Found July 8, 2008 ) 300 Free Truetype Fonts You Should Have.http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/453-Essential-Fonts-for-Designers.html Apple unleashed the Tiger- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Apple just updated its Mac OS X-web pages, which now announce the official release date of the upcoming Mac OS X 10.4. "Tiger will hit the shelves" on April 29th. The completely overhauled site now sports more information about and screenshots of Tiger: New Features, Overview, Developer Tools and Tech Specs, while the old site (the Mac OS X 10.3-related one) is completely gone.http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/454-Apple-unleashed-the-Tiger.html An impaired look at .redSPLASH- (Found July 8, 2008 ) If you happen to have the opportunity to grab a copy of Jeffrey Zeldman's fantastic book Designing With Web Standards, go for it (meanwhile Joe Clark's book Building Accessible Websites is back on my Amazon wishlist, because there's so much more to know). Okay so, while I was reading chapter 14 "Accessibility Basics", I stumbled across the following paragraph: If you use color to denote information (such as clickability), reinforce it with other methods (for instance, bolding or underlining...http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/455-An-impaired-look-at-.redSPLASH.html Tiger style for NetNewsWire- (Found July 8, 2008 ) After being an avid longtime fan of Wolfgang Bartelme's NetNewsWire Package, I recently discovered Jon Hicks' astonishingly genuine Tiger style for NetNewsWire (Lite), and now use as my default theme.http://www.redsplash.de/blog/archives/456-Tiger-style-for-NetNewsWire.html |
