design
These pages comply with W3C recommendations and validate as: XHTML1.0 Strict. I also validate the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
View this web-site with the browser of your choice; it will look better if your browser renders CSS.
I try to keep pages under 20 KB in size to avoid long downloads. I use a single content column to assist the readability. I am open to comment and advice on any aspect of the design or implementation of these pages.
xhtml page building and editing tools
The pages use PHP to import common page elements and for logic.
Nedit is my main editor in GNU/Linux. I edit using TextWrangler in Mac OS X. I use Pe and StyleEdit text editors in Be OS. I sometimes use HTML Tidy to check pages and tidy up the formatting before W3C validation.
page testing
I mainly write and test in Mac OS X and GNU/Linux but I do additional testing with other browsers and platforms when I finalise a design.
- FireFox and Opera in GNU/Linux.
- Net+ and Opera 3 in Be OS (It lives, it lives!).
- Opera and Browser in Symbian OS.
- Camino, Firefox, Opera, and Safari in Mac OS X
- Opera, Firefox, and IE (just to see how it will mess up my work) in M$ Windows Xtra Pathetic.
