Whilst not endorsing the new Google browser (after all it's only been out for two days and besides it's still a beta release) I'm just including links here for people who have not yet stumbled on the news. So....

If you're a 'Drupal' Content Management System Administrator then this may be of some use to you.

So you need to allow upload of a different file type to those specified in the Drupal default configuration?
In which case (if you're having problems) you may well have already looked at the posting here - http://drupal.org/node/146016.

When I did this there was no answer there, that I could see anyway. Don't think I missed the solution in there, or did I?

I've been using the CSS online checking facility provided by the W3C for many years now. This resource allows you to add a link to your webpages which when followed, reports on the compliance of the page to the recommended W3C standards. If the page doesn't comply then any discrepancies are listed for the user to rework.

Just read this article by Andy Rutledge in which he examines a couple of the inferior Web design conventions still 'knocking around' the web. He expose their flaws and then suggests more effective alternatives to these conventions, explaining why they work better.

Do take a look at the link if design is in your daily...

Whether you agree with his finding or not this discussion was a real eye opener to me (for one). Some other great articles on this site too. So thanks to Andy for these.

Seems I've got some reading to do.

I've had the problem of testing the IE6 user agent rendering of my Web Sites for a while now! The notorious browser bugs of this Web Browser were being handled by my use of multiple style sheets (and still are - only now I use the Explorer built in comment selection of styles). After install of IE 7 though everything went pear shaped (as no support for checking IE6 was avaiable after the browser upgrade).

Here's one for you reader?

Do you add access key support to your website or not?

Well reader, If I haven't already said it...

Happy New Year to You!

What happened to those three weeks....

Hi,

I'm just trying out a few themes here before settling on one to modify in earnest. Current favourites for this blog site and the 'circlewebs.co.uk' pages are 'Alek' and 'Sky'. I've also been familiarising with the recommended default theme 'Zen'.

I'm also using a modified version of Mutiflex37 on the http://www.b-society.org.uk website.

Any ideas and recommendations will be welcome please.

I completed the set up this 'Drupal-5.3' site today and its starting to take shape. Not much content yet though. Hope you like it reader, though there's not really much to like as it's still in it's default skin etc. Much to do if I get time over the coming months.
