Wordle!

April 7, 2009

Below is the Wordle for this blog! I have removed the dates from each of the articles but apart from that it is all the words on this website. Please use Wordle with caution, it is very very addictive.

IE Tab

April 2, 2009

A nice little plugin for Firefox that allows you to open a link up in Firefox browser but powered by IE

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

I use it quite a bit as the intranet isn’t fully functional in Firefox. I am still not used to the IE interface in 7/8. This can also be used to check the cross-browser functionality if designing websites.

Enjoy.


Internet Archive: Viewing a Website’s History

March 19, 2009

Ah how the humble website has changed. From the gaudy 16 bit colours to the marqueeing text, the technology has advanced with the introduction of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and the increasing power of browsers to parse HTML and AJAX.

Yahoo in Dec, 1996

Yahoo in Dec, 1996

Check out Internet Archive! Simply enter a website address into the search box then a list of the screenshot dates available are displayed then take a step back into the past! The image above shows Yahoo in Dec 1996, 3 years before Google went into Beta and before the use of a table format.

Warning: Do not follow any website design conventions from before 2000. :-)
