No IE6, You Can’t Play!
More and more sites are blocking access from IE6 users, and I couldn’t back them anymore. Not only is IE6 a bad choice for security reasons, if you have done any web design work you also know what a pain it is to comply to. Simply state, it breaks our cool tools!

Modern Web Font Options for Web Designers
Google’s new Font API, Cufon, @font-face, sIFR, FLIR…?! It’s 2010 and the Internet has long since evolved to become an integral part of modern society. As web designers, our web fonts used to be limited to a small number of ‘safe’ font-families. Today there are a number of options that allow web developers to break free from the confines of the limited ‘web-safe’ font spectrum and express themselves, and their websites, more individually with unique fonts. Let’s examine how the web’s top font solutions work and how they are implemented.
What is FTP CHMOD/chmod/Change Mode?!
Has someone asked you to chmod a directory or file to 666 or 664 (three-digit octal) and you have no clue what this means? Well, take a second to read this post and I’ll explain a bit of what I know about Change Mode, Chmod and CHMOD (for your information these are all the same thing).
To begin, let me say that this article will be discussing Change Mode in terms of file and directory permissions using file transfer protocol programs. Personally, I use FireFTP and Core FTP as my File Transfer Protocol Systems. Both make is very easy to connect and chmod any file or directory. FireFTP is built-in to Firefox, as an added extra benefit.

15 High School Websites with Nice Designs
Hey there everyone, I love looking at lists of nice websites and realized that I never have written an article on that exact topic. So I decided to rate some High School websites since it’s a niche and perhaps could inspire some younger web designers. Do you think your high school’s website should be included on this list? Contact me and be sure to include a hyperlink!M
Trust me, finding website for this list wasn’t that easy… if you’ve looked at many high school websites you’ll know what I mean. They all seem to have been made in 1995, except the ones below (plus many more, I’m sure). Also, I notice many private school’s websites tend to be nicer since they are actually marketing the schools. I thought about excluding those websites but decided not to.
