Ahmed Farooq saw my posts about Ligthbox and ThickBox image displaying solutions and send me an email that he develops something similar which is definitely worth mentioning.
CSS Debugging Tips
If you have some experience with CSS layouts you probably know the feeling of hopelessness when you are staring at some box overlapping something it shouldn’t and so on. You tried dozens of possible rules combinations that came to your mind but nothing helps.
Over time I gathered some simple techniques that help me to deal with CSS problems much easier and straightforward. If you aren’t new to web design you for sure know or use some of them.
More Than Fest 2006
Tomorrow I am leaving for More Than Fest at Ružiná, Slovakia. This will probably be the biggest metal meeting to date in this country. It will be crazy :) Maybe I will make some photos with my ultra great cell phone camera. I will be there for three nights, we will sleep in a tent. Hope the weather will not disappoint us.
Here comes the ThickBox
I found even better solution for displaying images than Lightbox. It’s called ThickBox, it’s build on jQuery library, together they have only 27 Kb and does a few things that Lightbox can’t. It automaticaly resizes the image based on the resolution, can display any HTML content, so it can be used not just for images. All around it’s much better.
Lightbox JS v2.0 implemented
Lightbox is a super cool image viewing JavaScript solution. It works across all popular modern browsers and degrades nicely when JS is turned off. So I implemented it here on my blog. Click the image to test it out.
New design is done!
I deployed the new design for my blog. I was aiming for a clean, easy on eyes and foremost usable one. I am quite happy with it. There is still some work to be done but basicaly it’s finished. How do you like it? I plan to distribute this as a WordPress theme (with a few modifications).
