I’m running around stark naked in all my white glory. Why am I doing this? Other than the social aspect of being like everyone else, it is a great opportunity for the less-than-knowledgeable people to know what I look like underneath my superficial exterior. As you can see, I’m beautiful even without my clothes.
I’m glad my webmaster, Aaron, has taken care of my and built me into the most beautifulest website I can be. It doesn’t take a lot of CSS and styling to make me look good because I’m beautiful to the bone. YAY ME!!
~ post by Anthology of Ideas not Aaron (please don’t tell Aaron.)
P.S. The first person in this post is not the writer, but the website itself. So no, I’m not sitting here on the computer naked.1
P.P.S. It is CSS naked day.
Notes:
- Although the comeback to that is “I’m sitting at the computer naked.” All the English majors groan with me now. [↩]
Web designers vs Web developers
BrowserCam has long been the best tool for testing websites in a multitude of situations; however, it isn’t free, so its usefulness is limited for people who just want to test a new design quickly: enter BrowserShots.
This free website has most of the features developers will need to test their sites; however, unlike BrowserCam, there seem to be waits of up to 20 minutes for some OS/Browser combinations, so it is better for casual testing to ensure compatibility rather than live tweaking—it does have a detail page to show how long your wait will be. It has a few useful features: all screenshots are of the entire screen instead of a small part and requests are based on the website, so multiple people can view the results without sharing log-ons.
However, the most interesting part is that the software that runs it is freely distributed and you can, optionally, help the project by volunteering to run a screenshot “factory” from your computer that operates in the background while you go about your normal computing business; thus, combining the best things in life: free stuff and being nice to others.
