In addition to working in web design and development, I also teach a few different web design courses. I usually refer my students to intermediate to advanced resources like A List Apart, or Think Vitamin. To help people get to the point where they’ll find those sites helpful, I’m going to start posting some short articles on more basic, but still helpful, techniques you can use if you’re just getting started.
The first of these new articles to help you learn web design is about a important and frequently requested technique: Rollover Images with Cascading Style Sheets

Well, it’s certainly been a while since I posted a new CSS how-to. Actually, it’s been a while since I did much regular posting at all! Not to worry though, the Spring weather means it’s time for the blog to come out of hibernation.
CSS Pull Quotes is something I thought of last summer, and was originally going to be the subject of an article for A List Apart. Since it’s been so long since I last posted a CSS article here, I thought I add it to the list of tutorials at Design Meme.

In advance of the general release of Firefox version 2, I’ve updated both the X-Ray and Professor X extensions to work with the new browser. You can either download the updated versions here at DesignMeme.com or get them from the official Firefox Addons site.
Thanks again to everyone who has emailed to say they’ve found these extensions useful and offered suggestions for future versions. While I would have liked to have provided some new features in these updates, I’ve been focused on other things the past few months. My wife and I are expecting our second child, and we’re now in the final days counting down to the new arrival! It’s a very exciting time, and we’re really looking forward to meeting the new baby.

My second Firefox extension is ready for download today!
Professor X let’s you see inside a page’s head without viewing the sourcecode. This is the companion extension to
X-Ray which reveals the underlying code within a page’s body, although either extension can be installed and used on its own.
Once installed the Professor X command is available by right-clicking as well as in the Tools menu. When applied to a page it will display the contents of the page’s head element, including Meta, Script and Style content. This can help you see how a website was constructed without having to go back and forth between the sourcecode and the page in your browser.

I thought it an interesting coincidence that yesterday, Bob Rae mentioned Wikipedia during his keynote speech. Earlier that morning I had mentioned Wikipedia and politicians during my own presentation, so I decided to ask Bob about updating his own entry.
In an even more interesting coincidence, today’s keynote covered virtually the same topics I had been talking about yesterday – although admittedly with a bit more detail and eloquence.
