Geocities-izer
Does exactly what it says on the tin, give it a website and be transported back in time to the glorious days of Geocities, well maybe not so glorious but it’s all in good fun.
Javascript Tags
Easy access to the tags needed to call Google hosted Javascript libraries to make it all easy for you.
Nibbler
Enter your web address and it takes a taste of your website and gives you some form of rating back, to be honest I’m not entirely sure what it’s for but it gives your site a rating and that’s always fun.
Integrate @anywhere into WordPress
I was surprised by just how easy it was to integrate @anywhere into my WordPress install, you can see it in action by simply hovering over @craigbaldwin. Pretty neat right?
Users Don't Read
Another website tool, it replaces your text with ‘x’s so you can see what stands out without any text to distract, excellent way to test visual hierarchy and call to actions.
Thoughts on Flash
Steve Jobs writes an open letter on why he hates Flash so much. Pretty good points raised and it’s nice that he’s answering the questions directly. Everyone knows their platform is proprietary but it just seemed strange to hear Steve Jobs admitting it so openly, maybe it’s just me.
