A PHP based image rotation script, like the kind one would use to make a next/previous image gallery. There's a lot of things done right here, including no ads link-backs or gimmicks, totally customizable, sits on your server, very small footprint, can be ordered by file date or file name, and included markup is already xhtml. Go get your Revolver.
Just a quick post to flag out that the article on Nifty Corners Cube, the third version of the javascript and CSS solution to get rounded corners without images, has been published today. Several are the improvements introduced from the previous versions: most of all, I think they're now easier to apply. If you're curious, just head over the article. Enjoy!
If you're into everything Markdown, you'll want to bookmark this newly formed and quickly growing wiki on the subject: Markdown Wiki. If you're like what's markdown?, it's "a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers", which you can go read about from the source.
Sorry for ranting, but I just felt this needed to be said.
If you're gonna have to use autoresponders, real-live-human-being-and-not-spam-source verifiers etc, then make sure they behave well. If you can't make them behave you should disable them, as they then only contribute to the overall spam. One thing you should make sure, to maximum extent possible, is that it doesn't send anything automatically to any mailing lists you happen to be subscribed to. If you're not personally in control of the autoresponder, then there's probably somebody you can contact that has control over it. For all it's worth, you could point them here, though I probably forget some things in this listing...
Here's a short list of things that the autoresponder should do to behave well:
ONLY send the autoreply if your email address is in the to or cc headers of the message. Any mail where that is not true is with high probability sent from an automatic system, such as a mailing list, and then any autoresponse message is not desireable.
DON'T send the autoreply if the message has any list-* header or any other header or header/value combo that is specific to automatic mailing systems.
If a message has a reply-to header, then send to that address and not the address in the from header.
Thank you for listening. I'll get back to addressing the comments on my OOJS entry shortly.
Finally, over at HTML.it, today we published Layout Gala. In November 2005 I wrote a three-parts article on pro.html.it on creating CSS layouts. Starting from the same markup, I had several goals in mind:
The result is a set of 40 layouts that have been tested successfully on Internet Explorer/win 5.0, 5.5, 6 and beta 2 preview of version 7; Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.5 and Safari 2. We've thought in the article there was one thing missing, as is the index page. While preparing it we've thought it could be a resource that was worth sharing with an international audience.
So we published Layout Gala, the index page in english where you can see and download the layouts. Finally, I can reveal what I was working on when I published here the article on filler text on demand...
