Just testing pdfmenot.com - a tool from the people behind bugmenot.com, retailmenot.com and cushycms.com. It lets you read a PDF in your browser without downloading it, and even embed a pdf in another page with a bit of javascript. Also trying out an alternative, vuzit.com.
CushyCMS - Take the work out of managing content via kwout
I’m researching what might be the best approach for creating a web page for a client with some limitations (i.e. html only hosting). Probably the most fantastic approach I’ve found so far is CushyCMS. CushyCMS lets you define editable areas in your plain HTML then lets your client edit a page’s content without touching the page itself.
Checking out the Photo Dropper Wordpress Plugin, that lets you search for a keyword, and insert creative commons flickr photos into your posts automagically. I’ve used Flickr photos in the past, but it’s taken some searching of flickr, and some copy-pasting to get them into Wordpress. Photo Dropper makes it much easier.
I’ll reserve judgement till I’ve tried it more, but it seems like it could be very useful.
It’s time to show off your <body>. Annual CSS Naked Day
What a laff! I’ve participated in it in previous years, and Naked Day is always fun. Lots of people around the web make their websites “naked” by stripping out the codes that make them pretty, so we’re left with just a bunch of black text on a white page.
To show people that a good website shouldn’t just look pretty, but should have good structure as well. Websites have to be usable by blind people, colour-blind people, and people who have trouble using a mouse or keyboard. Some of these people can’t use Internet Explorer (lucky them) or even gasp Firefox to view their favourite sites. They have to use software that strips away all the pretty colours and flashy graphics, to leave just the meat of the site - the information.

Man I love on-site warranties. Nothing beats not having to lift a finger to fix a problem that you just know would normally be a nightmare to fix.
