Here are some interesting articles, tools and tutorials I’ve read over the past few days that I found to be insightful and useful. I am in fact utilizing them from now on myself.
How to Effectively Organize your Photoshop Layers
This post from Web Designer Depot details a very useful way of organizing your layers in Photoshop for web designs that will help you to keep things simplified and orderly. I prefer to use Photoshop (and occasionally Fireworks) to create my web designs, due in part to this wonderful ability to categorize layers in a highly-organized folder structure. I had already been using a “header”/”main content”/”footer” structure similar to this, but I like the convention of categorizing things further and utilizing this for every design by creating a template. Should speed things up nicely!
IE6Fixer
This one is an interesting tool to help smite most Internet Explorer 6 woes. You can create a nice IE6-specific stylesheet that will, for example, append { display: inline; } to floated elements to keep the double-float margin bug at bay. I have yet to use this yet, as I usually just manually code websites and will do most of these things without thinking, but I might could use this in optimizing my workload.
CSS3Pie
I found this a few weeks ago, but it seems to be a nice, elegant way of whipping Internet Explorer 6+ into shape for use with the marvelous CSS3 specs.
That’s all I have for now, hopefully soon I’ll have some more work to show. Ciao!~
