When CollyLogic launched, I was incredibly surprised by the response to the Ticked-Off Links I created for the sidebar. I should say a massive thank you to the many, many folks who linked to the original tutorial detailing two methods of implementation.
I’m aware of margin collapsing with CSS. It’s a pain. However, I’ve had a slightly different issue with margins over at IE 6 (PC). Bizarrely, the margins are showing correctly spaced, right up until the user slowly mouses over them.
Let’s take a close look at a popular blog and it’s sins. I won’t hold back here. Sketchy image-replacement, an overdose of div tags, extraneous class declarations, improper use of phrase elements, flickering roll-overs, barely semantic.

I’ve finally uploaded the first CollyLogical photo sets, featuring selected images from my first two trips to Iceland. The galleries are built using some top-notch PHP source called Gallery Script which is very intuitive and completely free.
In what will be the first of millions of posts relating to my love of all things Icelandic, I’ve decided to flag up some excellent websites built in the land where Macs are as important as food, and the internet was introduced way back in 1912 (well, they were well ahead of the UK). Icelandic design continually impresses me - whatever the field - and young developers are readily embracing current standards in their work.

You Are Here is currently in the process of selecting an illustrator to help promote this year’s visual arts festival. Last year it was Nottingham’s number one idiosyncratic illustration machine Jon Burgerman who produced some joyful little characters for the publicity material.
