Two posts in a month? WTF!?
Sometimes, in freelance, “when it rains, it pours.” Last few weeks, I’ve been hammered with work (yay!), but I’m coming up for air in order to breathe a little bit of life back into this site (so many mixed metaphors, so little time…).
Anyway, a little while back, I added del.icio.us links to the sidebar. I’ll try to keep them HTML/CSS/freelance related so that they’re useful to readers here. And, I wanted to point out a few of the ones that you might have missed but are worth checking out:
Freelance Switch: An awesome site, with great, relevant articles for web/graphic freelancers. In its own words: “a Community & Resource for freelancers of all varieties – designers, writers, programmers, illustrators, photographers …”
Linux Font Equivalents to Popular Web Typefaces: An excellent article on Linux fonts. I don’t think about Linux much when building sites, but I should. This is a good place to start.
SWFObject: I’ve been working with a designer who likes to create Flash headers, and this is his method of inserting them while leaving the layer of HTML below accessible to the search engines.
BlogMate: Blogging in TextMate. Brilliant! In its own words: “BlogMate is a free, graphical plug-in (+ a bundle too) for the popular TextMate editor that enables creating and editing blog posts for MetaWeblog-enabled blogs, Twitter, and Jaiku accounts from a floating palette within TextMate.”
(Aside: Is the Mac app world more lively and innovative than the Windows world right now, or are Mac apps just getting more press?)
Slightly less flashy than BlogMate, I’ve been using a combination of e Text Editor and the It’s All Text add-on for Firefox to create blog posts . It works, when I remember to use it.
