I was about to make a blog post about this, but I’m really, really glad that Performancing did it first. It’s way more detailed than I could ever hope to make. Read 48 Unique Ways To Use WordPress at Performancing.com.
Eric Meyer’s Reset CSS Updated
19.01.2008
And why am I not zeroing out deprecated elements, like center? Because they shouldn’t even be in the markup. The way to handle deprecated elements is with something like Marco Battilana’s Big Red Angry Text, not silently neutering them.
I somehow always preferred Eric Meyer’s Reset instead of from others like YUI’s Reset, and it’s a good update that of course will be used.
Lovely Picasa
17.01.2008
You are using a browser that is not fully supported. Some features may not work too well, but you are welcome to have a look around.
Other web apps usually tell users with non-supported browsers to go away, as if it’s the user’s fault. Picasa’s approach is much more lovely.
End Internet Explorer’s Stupidity with ie7-js
10.01.2008
ie7-js, currently in version 2.0 (beta), is a JavaScript library to make MSIE Windows behave like a standards-compliant browser. This page has the feature lists, and here’s the Google Code page. When this thing eventually works flawlessly it’s going to be huge.
End of Netscape

New announcement regarding the fate of Netscape Navigator. We don’t really use Netscape much, but if it means less browser to check compatibility issues with, we’re pretty much happy about it.

Internet Explorer 8 Passes Acid2 Test
20.12.2007
Nater Kate nailed it in Molly’s post about the news:
i just got goosebumps
And so did I. Honestly. It’s always great to hear good things about Internet Explorer. It’s so rare that I think it’s also worth mentioning that the announcement at IE’s official blog actually generates positive comments from people. All in all, congratulations to the IE team. Not only IE8 gave us a hope once again, it’s also very possible that a two point difference in version will render IE6 obsolete.
For the unitiated, Wikipedia has a good explanation on Acid2 Test. Firefox 2 fails Acid2 test, but version 3 will support it correctly. The current Firefox 3 beta 2 does fail the test, but it seems to be a failure on Acid2’s side, not Firefox. See this for more information.
