A site I’m building at the moment has required me to consider the poor people who still unfortunately use Internet Explorer 6. I’d love to think it was a thing of the past, extinct along with any pre-XP versions of Windows and late 90’s pop music but unfortunately not.

Regarding Firefox add-ons for developers, of which there is a fantastic selection - please, everyone check out Firebug, unless you have already.

I’m a big believer in semantic, valid mark-up. Both XHTML and CSS. And it’s fairly safe to say that every website I build now contains valid code, unless in the case of integrating a complex script which makes it extremely difficult to obtain the coveted W3C valid link at the bottom of the site.
