Software to Automatically Make a HTML version of a Dynamic Website
It seems like there are a million different content management systems out there. Some like the ZLCMS system we use at Zipline are transferrable to another web host but occasionally we have run into web development companies with ‘proprietary’ content management systems.

How to Hide the Dotted Border Around Links in Firefox
Many of you may have noticed that Firefox adds a 1px dotted border around some active elements. From what I understand, this border is intended to indicate where the user’s focus is on the page.

Should I throw feces on them?
Clients are by far the most important ingredient to any successful interactive agency. Without clients, we would just be a group of Wii playing losers who spend their day trying to fill the time between Ellen and Judge Judy. I have heard too many times that clients are stupid. That is not true and I will tell you why.

I have been thinking a lot lately about personal development. In a constantly evolving industry like web design, if you want to stay relevant, you need to stay current.
