Ben Henick has a new article over on ALA: 12 Lessons for Those Afraid of CSS and Standards. There are some great tips and hints here for those of you starting in web development, or those who are trying to break some bad habits gained over the years.
This one struck a particular chord with me, as it’s something I’ve been trying to explain to clients for a while now:
Lesson No. 2: It’s not going to look exactly the same everywhere unless you’re willing to face some grief… and possibly not even then
There are an awful lot of differences between rendering engines, and the W3C specs sanction those differences. You can adjust, tweak, hack, and waive, but if you want to preserve your social life, you will learn to let go of the small differences—and convince the stakeholders in your projects to do the same.
Amen to that!

Heh, what good is the web if you can’t egosurf once in a while. No worries Ben, it’s a good article that deserved some linkage. Thanks for dropping by.
So far, according to the results of my egosurfing, your cite (#2) is in the lead.
Thanks for taking the time to read the article and link to it!
