It’s Naked Time Again
Yes, it's back. The annual CSS Naked Day.

10bestthings.com just went live a few minutes ago. It's basically a site where you can make top 10 (or any number, really) lists and then share them around. It's actually a lot of fun to play with. Here's a list I made a while ago that I'm fairly proud of: My favorite Christmas movies.
There are no good desktop Twitter apps out there. I seriously can't stand any of them. So this is a plea to the software developers out there: Please, make a good one. To get you started, here's a list of features I'd like to see:
I've created a new Twitter account called @dtlinks, and I'll be using it to link to web-development-related articles that I come across during the day.
One of the more popular posts on this site is my explanation of the easyclear method of clearing floats. I had been using it for a while when I wrote the post, and it's a great solution. However, Dave Woods commented on that post with a new method: setting overflow:auto on the containing element actually has the same effect as the clearfix, without all the extra stuff.
I have a lot of articles "in the pipes," but I've been finding it hard to get into the rhythm of writing again, so I thought I'd start with an easy post to get the juices flowing. This sort of post is obviously something plenty of people have done before, but I usually find them interesting. Since it's been done before, I thought I would concentrate on some of the smaller things that make my life better/easier, instead of the normal operating system (OS X Leopard)/text editor (Coda) writeup.
It's been a very busy summer. Between buying a house, moving into said house, getting married, vacationing, and somehow managing to work, I haven't had any time for the website. But I'm finally caught up with (most) everything, so I thought it was time to get back to the blog.
Today, April 9th, is Naked Day. It's an annual event in which sites remove all of their style information, to reveal the naked page structure underneath. This is my first year participating, but I think it's a great idea.
