Google x-rays Flash

July 2nd, 2008

On the subject of Google’s announcement on their new greater ability to index Flash, I decided to have a little (informative) rant on the company blog. As the subject is of relative importance within the web design world, I also wanted to feature it on Redswish but for the sake of repeating myself - I […]

Death to IE6!

June 25th, 2008

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.
As we all know, Firefox is steaming […]

June 23rd, 2008

Well, my Monday morning trawl through the internet to find any interesting news or revelations in the web world has been delivered only a backwards look at the news of last week. So, suffice to say I don’t have any clever inside information or sneak previews to part with (do I ever?).

June 2nd, 2008

Yeah you all know, everyone knows - the Web Marketing Association’s 2008 Web Awards entry deadlines has been delayed till the 13th June… which for some reason doesn’t surprise me.
I would love to have entered some of my work in the awards, not that I expect to win but let’s not forget it’s the taking […]

Google Health

May 22nd, 2008

What will they think up next? The latest addition to Google’s plethora of tools and services created to enhance your life in general - Google Health. I honestly wouldn’t have seen this coming.
Like everything Googley, Health is pretty cool. It allows you to add and store your medical records and history online, decide which health […]

Facebook set for Makeover

May 20th, 2008

I would hate to be the one to pass one false news to the masses, so I do hope I’m proved correct. According to a local radio station this morning - Facebook (I’m sure you’ve heard of it!) is lined up for a design makeover.
I personally don’t mind Facebook, regardless of rants I may have […]
