“Words are the foundation of communication. Even on the increasingly visual Web, a developer’s words can entice, engage, and persuade his or her site audience. As we strive to make our sites look and act sophisticated and efficient, we often forget that what we say and how we say it is as necessary to the success of our projects as the quality of our HTML, graphics, and programming techniques. Designers must treat language as an integral part of a site’s design.”

“Haven’t you ever get bored browsing your font catalog? Are you searching for a printed font and you have 9000 TTFs on your CD? Font matcher helps you do that in a few minutes. Just get a bitmap of the letter, select your fonts directory and FontMatcher will compare each TTF with the given bitmap, giving you an exact percent of how much each font matches the given bitmap. Font Matcher is completely Freeware (I’ve spent my whole life cracking soft and stealing fonts, so I’m not gonna ask you to pay money for this) and is available for free downloading in any of the links below. It’s made under VB 6.0, so you’ll need the VB 6.0 runtimes in order to get it working (surely you already have them installed).” PC-only.:-(

But I had the xBlog name first! “This blog has been written in XML using an XSLT transformation. This blog is for learning purposes only. Not for public viewing.” You need IE5 to see it. Very cool.

“Not long ago I attended an informal gathering of web developers, writers, and software designers. The conversation was particularly good that evening, and we explored lots of space in the Web universe. Then one writer raised a question that brought the conversation to a halt. We had been talking about the momentum behind XML, and he said, ‘I challenge any of you to name a widespread use of XML.’ The ensuing grind of mental wheels was deafening.”
