CSS Redesign

May 20, 2002 – permalink

MacEdition’s Codebitch mentioned Digital Hit in her latest article. She pointed us out as an example “ [that] plenty of sites that aren’t ‘about’ Web standards and Web development now use CSS layouts.”

We’ve recently changed our news area to a CSS design. Translation: The site still looks stylish in newer (version 5+) browsers but will look plainer in older browsers like Netscape 4.xx. This means that devices like PDAs and tools for the disabled are better able to access those new pages. Wouldn’t have been able to make the jump without inspiration from CodeBitch and Jeffrey Zeldman. Thanks!

Cuban Embargo

May 20, 2002 – permalink

In his speech about Cuba, President Bush said that “Well-intentioned ideas about trade will merely prop up this dictator, enrich his cronies and enhance the totalitarian regime. It will not help the Cuban people.”

Why is it that the US will not trade with 11 million Cubans but will trade with 1 billion Chinese, who live under a regime that frequently, consistently and systematically abuses human rights?

Gee, do you think it’s because there’s more money to be made with China and Cuba’s a “cheaper” country to be all righteous about?
