Too busy not to blog

Date: 20 January 2006 14:35:39

There's a lot going on at the moment. Not just with moving house and several other things, but work-wise I'm continuing to juggle many different plates. However I have several ideas for things I'd like to blog about, so here's a list. This is as much to remind me of what I've got to say as it is to advertise forthcoming attractions on this blog!

Redesign of stillbreathing.co.uk: Yes, I'm redesigning it. Just a couple of Internet Exploder problems to sort out and I'll be ready. The new style is called "Chocolate and Coffee", which should give you a good idea what colour it is...
Idiots guide to accessibility: There's quite a lot of discussion about accessibility, and some great articles on how to make your web pages accessible. However I'm yet to find all a single page full of succinct information. I aim to provide that, by creating a page with tips on accessibilising (if that is a correct word) the following: tables, acronyms, forms, text and more. This is, as you may have guessed, more a 'revision' excercise for myself than anything else.
An introduction to the Performer Series: The Performer Series is a collection of JavaScript simple functions designed to take the headache out of AJAX, while being completely standards-compliant and degradeable. The functions included allow you to show and hide elements, load data from remote pages, send data to remote pages and if required load the response back into an element, reload an elements content, and a few other things. It will be a free download under the usual GPL licence.

There are a few other things, but they are just ideas in the ether at the moment. When I get time, the above things will be written and posted. But with a new house to deal with, and broadband being switched on today (I've missed you), I'm not sure when that will be.
