The Memory Hole [rescuing knowledge, freeing information]

Lots of good stuff on this site, but this article in particular goes over converting from tables to CSS, having left and right centered content in one row, abbreviations and making lists much more versatile. I used to read A List Apart with some frequency back when I spent far too much of my time writing web pages.

PHP scripts, mostly blog related. I haven’t spent much time here, but now that I’m a blogger (there, I said it) and all I suppose I should.
