I'm not the only one who's fond of a good cake analogy.

- Understand The Web · Ben Ward benward.me
Want to know if your ‘HTML application’ is part of the web? Link me into it. Not just link me to it; link me into it. Not just to the black-box frontpage. Link me to a piece of content. Show me that it can be crawled, show me that we can draw strands of silk between the resources presented in your app. That is the web: The beautiful interconnection of navigable content. If your website locks content away in a container, outside the reach of hyperlinks, you’re not building any kind of ‘web’ app. You’re doing something else.
- Getting ready for Outlook 2010 - Blog - Campaign Monitor campaignmonitor.com
Our recent testing combined with the research others are doing indicates that the Outlook 2010 renderer is actually exactly the same as the one in Outlook 2007. This means you won't need to make any significant changes to your current email templates or learn any new tricks of the trade.
- HTML5 enabling script remysharp.com
Since HTML5 is getting more attention by way of marking up our new pages, and the only way to get IE to acknowledge the new elements, such as <article>, is to use the HTML5 shiv, I've quickly put together a mini script that enables all the new elements.
- QuirksBlog: The iPhone obsession quirksmode.org
"The iPhone has become an obsession. If we don’t pay attention, we’ll have a mobile web that only works on the iPhone. And then we’ll have the real mobile web that wasn’t made by us and doesn’t give a shit about web standards and best practices." Overstating things somewhat but still a useful reminder.

Once HTML 5 becomes a viable option, how can we avoid having teams of web developers spending their time discussing which syntax to use instead of working on the project their clients pay for?

- MoD sticks with insecure browser | Kable kable.co.uk
"According to parliamentary written answers received by Labour MP Tom Watson, the majority of departments still require staff to use IE6. Most have plans to upgrade to the more secure IE7, and some to IE8, but the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has no plans to change." Deary me. Hardly surprising. IE6 still unfortunately a player.
A really little content management system for when you (or your clients) need to edit content without the hassle of setting up a big CMS.

- mezzoblue § Switched mezzoblue.com
Why Dave Shea is switching from XHTML to HTML.
You think of people who do know CSS as designers, not giving any credit to the engineering prowess required to tame the stylesheet of a multinational corporation because (self-taught as they are) most true front-end gurus don’t speak the same language as you do. Their skill appears to be a black-art, some kind of magic, or internalized instinct for browser flaws. This is your guess anyway, because you simply can’t communicate with them.
- IEBlog : Just The Facts: Recap of Compatibility View blogs.msdn.com
This whole situation is so wrong.
One key real-world benefit of this separation is that come redesign time, one only needs to change or replace the CSS stylesheet, and needn’t lay so much as a finger upon the hallowed grounds we call markup. I’m here to say that this mantra isn’t much more than a fairy tale.
- IEBlog : Microsoft's Interoperability Principles and IE8 blogs.msdn.com
Old, but I keep misplacing this link. "We’ve decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can. This decision is a change from what we’ve posted previously."

- Adactio: Journal—The Rise of HTML5 adactio.com
"We used this as an opportunity to really push what Dan has been calling "progressive enrichment": sprinkling in some modern CSS declarations even if not every browser gets all of them [...] So if you view the UX London site in IE6 it looks fine. Nothing special though. But if you view the site in a browser like Safari, a lot of little details shine through. The design is pretty much a test-case for the box-shadow property using RGBa."
