Looking for alternatives to Yahoo/Google Groups

Here’s an open question to all. Myself and a long time group of friends have had a yahoo group set up. This has been an excellent way of keeping in touch with a whole load of people who I would probably not keep in touch with otherwise. One of our group members has raised reservations [...]

Neat breadcrumb navigation for Windows XP

I came across a useful little add on for windows explorer the other day. It’s called Explorer Breadcrumbs, and adds some useful navigation directly into explorer. It’s something I believe that is built into the new version of explorer that comes with Windows Vista.. but I won’t be upgrading to that for a while yet [...]

To anyone out there that doesn't use Firefox, get it now. It's a giant leap over Internet Explorer and will improve your web browsing ten-fold. To the people who are using Firefox, are you making full use of it by using Firefox Extensions? If you have Firefox installed you really should investigate the power of [...]

CSS editors

Hi all, I'm new to this group and thought I'd start off by asking what people use for their CSS editing? When I started full time web design I decided that using style sheets and semantic code was definitely the way to go and I'm really happy that I went down that road. Pretty much [...]

The compose window is now broken. When I go to compose I [...]

Personalising your computer

I've recently installed a new desktop shell for Windows which has worked out really great – I'm well impressed by its funcionality straight out of the box, and it configures up really nicely as well.

In a darker mood

Hmm, I'm in a darker mood at the moment. Hence I've decided to change my blog design. However, there just wasn't anything that is really fitting the way I'm feeling so I've just gone with this until something better comes along. Most of the Vox designs are fairly bubbly and happy and there just doesn't [...]

How to do the design thing?

Just thought I'd ask an open question.. does anyone know how you go about submitting designs for the Vox Blog templates? I've submitted a question on this one ages ago and have had no response. Is it a closed thing or can anyone send in design concepts? I must say I love the Vox look, [...]
