Building Web Sites

Posted on by Jonathan Kemp

I live in Knoxville, Tennessee and work for a web development company called Mediapulse. My main responsibility at Mediapulse is Internet Marketing. But, most of the time I spend building the web sites we develop for our clients.

I support CSS and web standards, and at Mediapulse, we design all of our sites that way. I am starting this blog to talk about the CSS and design that I use on a daily basis. I plan on posting CSS tips and tricks that I find as I build web sites. I will also be posting about the projects I am working on and linking to released sites.

I hope my readers will find this site useful and that it results in a community here. If I can help a few people learn about CSS and web design, then that is what I set out to accomplish. If nothing else, a year from now, I will look back and see what I have done for the past year and use that to better myself.

Thanks for reading.

RSS Feeds Out of Control

Posted on by Jonathan Kemp

I now have 52 feeds and counting which I am reading daily in Bloglines. And I am adding more everyday. There is so much great content out there. I have to admit I love reading all these feeds, but it is becoming very time consuming! How about you? How many feeds are you reading everyday?

Yahoo! Redesign

Posted on by Jonathan Kemp

As you may have heard, Yahoo! announced that they are redesigning their site. While they have not replaced the current site yet, they have allowed everyone to see it. See the Yahoo! redesign at this link.

Sadly, my main complaint is that it supports IE 6 and Firefox 1.5 but not Safari. I suspect they are using a lot of Javascript and/or AJAX. Safari doesn’t support some Javascript dependent features, such as AJAX.

I actually really like the redesign. It is about time for an update. The current design is optimized for 800 x 600 screen dimensions. What more do I need to say? Actually, now that MSN Search is being replaced by Live.com and Ask recently underwent a huge makeover/rebranding, I think Google should follow suit. Who’s with me?

Well, I hope you like Yahoo’s new look. Check it out, and let me know what you think. I’m sure now that they have announced it, it should be live before too long.
