Firefox2/Flash Player - Fix for Mac

Recently when I installed the new Firefox 2.0.04 the Flash Player 9 plug in no longer worked. After reinstalling both the problem was still there. No flash content could be viewed with Firefox, Flock, Netscape, although Shiira and Safari still worked fine. Upon the reinstall of the Flash plug in - things would be ok with Firefox until I re-started the application which resulted in a loss of the plug in and therefore no flash again. This started to get annoying until I found a fix. Basically just move the flash files out of /Library/Internet Plug-ins and into your own ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins folder then all works fine.

How good is your website?

As well as Sitescore, Webagogo and WebsiteGrader are useful tools for web developers and customers alike. All 3 of these tools take a look at the underlying code of your website as well as things like popularity, links, urls, accessibility, metadata etc. then provide you with a score or grade.

Although these results should to be taken with a pinch of salt sometimes because they are only one view of how things should be they still prove useful in the design and development process and are also a good development checklist. All in all, a must for any web designer.

939 Design - Redesign

I thought it was about time I came up with a fresh look for 939 Design. The old website design has been there for a year - that's a long time in the world of websites! The redesign is not just new css, there are a lot of new pages and content, plus the redesign gave me a chance to restructure and and improve the mark-up. As with every website it's a work in progress - hope you like it - any comments appreciated.

Web Design Survey

Designers, developers, project managers, Writers, editors, Information architects and usability specialists. People who make websites have been at it for more than a dozen years, yet almost nothing is known, statistically, about our profession. Who are we? Where do we live? What are our titles, our skills, our educational backgrounds? Where and with whom do we work? What do we earn? What do we value? You too can make a contribution!

New Browser Wars

Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 are slugging out their battle for the hearts and minds of the Web browsing public.

As a web designer I have to use both (as well as many other browsers and different versions) for testing purposes, but when it comes to my personal preference Firefox wins hands-down. In fact ask any web designer/developer which browser they prefer and I'll bet the answer is Firefox. It's better, safer and more standards compliant. Go on rediscover the web!

Latest Website Launch

New website for Eurochem by 939 Design.
Eurochem is a UK distributor of high quality chemicals supporting a range of industries from the Food and Hygiene sector, Public and Leisure Services through to the Building Industry's chemical product requirements.

New Regulations for 2007

Companies in the UK must include certain regulatory information on their websites and in their email footers before 1 January 2007 or they will breach the Companies Act and risk a fine.

Information that must be on your website

The following is the minimum information that must be on any company's website (from OUT-LAW's guide, The UK's Ecommerce Regulations).

• The name, geographic address and email address of the service provider. The name of the organisation with which the customer is contracting must be given. This might differ from the trading name. Any such difference should be explained – e.g. "XYZ.com is the trading name of XYZ Enterprises Limited."

It is not sufficient to include a 'contact us' form without also providing an email address and geographic address somewhere easily accessible on the site. A PO Box is unlikely to suffice as a geographic address; but a registered office address would. If the business is a company, the registered office address must be included.

• If a company, the company's registration number should be given and, under the Companies Act, the place of registation should be stated (e.g. "XYZ Enterprises Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1234567")
• If the business is a member of a trade or professional association, membership details, including any registration number, should be provided.
• If the business has a VAT number, it should be stated – even if the website is not being used for e-commerce transactions.
• Prices on the website must be clear and unambiguous. Also, state whether prices are inclusive of tax and delivery costs.

Finally, do not forget the Distance Selling Regulations which contain other information requirements for online businesses that sell to consumers (B2C, as opposed to B2B, sales). For details of these requirements, see our guide, The Distance Selling Regulations - An Overview.

For help with email notices, such as disclaimers, see OUT-LAW's guide on Email notices.

ZEDD

After 10 years in the wilderness, the old band is back together for a rehearsal this weekend. This is probably going to be a complete shock to all our systems.

Not to mention the weeks of checking and repairing equipment!

PC Grudge!

After years and years working exclusively on 'lovely' Apple Macs, I have at last had to give in and purchase a common or garden PC (purely for testing web sites I hasten to add).

What stuck me was the lack of user satisfaction! Things just don't render as well and everything seems a bit 'clunky' (especially Internet Explorer), but then you probably all know that.

At least I can now test sites and get the same poor user experience as most of the world!

http://www.apple.com/

Come on you know you all want one really.

New on 939 Design website

The new and improved 939 Design web site now boasts a RSS news feed page, which pulls a mix of feeds relating to web development issues and a few other things thrown in for good measure. Credit must go to Paul Boag for his advice. There is also a new site map to aid quick navigation. And last, but not least, it all validates!

IE5 for Mac - Scrapped!

As a web developer, you always try and make a website work on all browsers and platforms. I have just launched a new website for 939 Design, and for the first time have deliberately ignored IE5 for macintosh.

The reason behind this decision is that the browser is dead, ( it's not being updated by Microsoft anymore).

So appologies to anyone still using IE5 on a mac (all 3 of you).

Time to get a new browser - you can't beat Firefox.
