I didn't get as much done in this space in 2004 as I'd like, but there might be a few things a select few of you will find interesting. Continuing my love affair with HTML lists, here are a few things you might have missed, in the order they first appeared.
February 22: Displaying del.icio.us Links on Your Site with del.icio.us.pl 0.2. del.icio.us has changed the way I share links with friends, the way I blog [1], and, more generally, the way I view the web. Get an account if you haven't already.
[1] I've yet to integrate the links into this new design, but I'm still generating an Atom version.
May 25: Upgrading Creative Commons Licenses. The original Creative Commons licenses required that the licensor guarantee to the licensee that the he/she had secured the right to enter into an agreement concerning the work in question. The new licenses dropped this provision. What's the point of guaranteeing that you've secured the rights to a work if you're allowed to later retract that guarantee (by "upgrading" the license)? Doesn't the original guarantee have to apply no matter how bad you want to upgrade to the latest, hippest license?
May 7: Extending XHTML: Target and Strict. Some folks were worried that extending XHTML might throw browsers into Quirks Mode; I tried to show that it's probably not a problem.
June 18: Gmail Invites. I offered some Gmail invitations to you kind readers and got more than 250 comments before I turned them off. A few of you were kind enough to complete an offer at freeipods.com in return for an invitation, but -- hint, hint -- I still need two more to get that damn iPod. I certainly wouldn't complain if you signed-up and completed an offer using my referral link. And, yes, I still have a few invitations left.
June 11: Validation Matters. A few notable web designers complained that they were tired of hearing about their HTML/CSS validation errors. I'm not notable (or even a professional web designer), but I do value your feedback, for whatever that's worth.
September 03: Extending Columns. It's possible to create the effect of a menu column that extends the length of a longer, primary column using CSS and without the use of images. Give it a try.
I wish there were more, but thanks for reading, anyway.
