So, if it works beautifully and does everything you need it to, why are you switching?
Just curious.
Choice of font is the same issue it's always been, since the invention of Mosaic. What are the odds that font is on the device reading your page?
I personally go with the generic font names and that's all the fussing I do. I can pretty well guara...

Progressive enhancement. Build sites that work in all browsers and work better in current browsers, and forget about browser versions.
Easier said than done, of course, but I really do feel that the goal of all designers is to get beyond this non...
Agree. I see that WP would be a better fit for you at this time. Even though Drupal/Joomla type sites can be fairly simple like WP.. but on install WP, makes a very simple user interface and way to just click "New post" and "New Page"... very simple

With your work as Boise State's Web Master, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

WordPress for Site Management
We are moving off our Windows servers over to a LAMP environment. You know how when you move you not only move your stuff, you start re-thinking Things In General?
So, one of the things we've been thinking about is a fundamental change in how web presence is managed. Put simply, there is a move from client-side to server-side. In the older model, people ftp files down to their desktop, use an editor to make changes, ftp the files back to the server, and view them. Rinse and repeat.

I'm very eager to try this out, unfortunately our account has not had the feature enabled just yet. If nothing else, it moves captioning down a step from creating, to just an editing process.
Anyone have success with a online app for taking room reservations?
We've been using Google Calendar/Docs to accept/publish our online room reservations. It did about 80% of what we needed and was free and great.
However, it presents some challe...

I built it at 12 fps so...? But I found this interesting article that sort of answered some of my questions.

Hi Steve -
It is a re-design and CMS implementation as one project. Sorry I didn't clarify that in my first post. We've got through a good part of the learning curve on Drupal as a CMS though there are some things that are still puzzling us, so w...
I am new to wave. I added your address as one of my contact. Do I have to do this for all wave members in this discussions?
Yeah - that was a basic first thought just because I saw the same issue and the cheaper/older PC's had the problems. Didn't think of the plug-ins, never checked those...very good idea.
Pandora makes a good point too on the frame rates...it may pr...
it's pretty self-explanatory :-)
We've had so many problems using Ektron 7.6.5 that we're considering upgrading to 8.0. However, we're concerned that while doing this might solve the 7.6.5 bugs, going through the upgrade might generate new issues. We work primarily on Mac/Firefox...
I am confused. You seem to be discussing "site redesign" and "CMS implementation" as one project. I think they are probably better conceived as separate, concurrent projects. Since we had two separate projects, our experience with an outside desig...
Mark, just sent you email. Please add me. Here is my wave account: ganxiaoling.web@googlewave.com Thanks.
Thank you! I joined the wave today!

Thanks.
Not a flash guru but what frame rate did you build it at? I had a similar problem and basically my Mac could handle the frame rate but the PC couldn't. I did have it pretty high though and dropped it to 30 fps and it sorted out the problem
Thanks for your help!
I did notice it plays fine on the newer PC browsers.
Must be a plugin issue with older versions of IE etc.
