Case Study
June 5th, 2004 byThere will be a complete case study as to why WordPress, features of it, and the many benefits from such a program. I think that when any of us learns something invaluable and worth sharing, well, it should be shared.
In the progress of trying to learn everything and then release HPNv2.0, I decided to release something and just keep working away on everything else. Many readings over at fellow bloggers have prompted me to cut down to as much simplicity as possible. The background design is still in a possible beta stage, depending on how much imagery I would like; Pakistan taught me how horrible my website is on a slow dialup and a switch to maximum CSS and minimum graphics is the result of such torture.
Whilst browsing around all this, I did discover many wonderful tools. One of them is for all you Blogger users who also have a FotoLog. Fotolog servers are slow and I still haven’t seen a full album of any user there. Instead, go try this. It’s free.
And good. It’ll take your images, crop them up and post them on your blog at Blogger. Done. Over. Period.
Browser compatibility is a huge issue. How to make this site look the same across all platforms and browsers. Dreamweaver MX 2004 comes to the rescue, with a very useful built-in validator.
Meanwhilst, here’s a blog I typed out real quick whilst working hard to figure out what to do with v2.0

mmm … waleed, i just installed firefox and yours is the first page i’ve seen in it. those link images i couldn’t see before – they ARE cute – but i’m pretty sure you can set it up so thet IE [and probly NN] users can see them. i’ve seen it done before.
firefox is nice, you were right. it looks better than NN6 for one thing. but as for usability … well no comment as of yet. i’ve just begun using it.
we shall see.
also, your xhtml doesn’t validate.

This blog so does not work on IE.
By the way, what’s “crunch in a munch”? =) And you can make the next blog about the beach so beautiful… and post pictures!

I’ve noticed that IE problem too. I’m searching for a fix on that. Meanwhilst, I’ve found that hitting F11 (Fullscreen) and back or resizing the window cures the problem. I no longer have that issue with my pc.
Crunch in your simple munch is just that. A simple munch is easy to eat, smooth and good on the mind. A crunch, well, is a wrench in the gear.

i liked those in/external links. in fact i even copied the code for them for a site i’m doing now. bring em back man bring em back. if only for your only non-IE user =]
