Find myself in an interesting situation at the moment &#8211; enforced usage of IE6 at work. Good reasons for this of course, one application used in this organisation will only work with IE6. Quite a common situation. 
What&#8217;s interesting is what doesn&#8217;t work in IE6 &#8211; including two websites for web design agencies I was [...]]]></description>

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy typographer. And the numbers look like this: 1234567890. It looks quite like my normal writing, maybe a bit neater. 
Snazzy or what?
I rendered the font for the web with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having had a bash at Joomla I thought I&#8217;d have a go at Drupal this afternoon.
I found it much more akin to Joomla than Wordpress in the way it&#8217;s set up, although generally clearer and somewhat easier to understand. I was quickly able to create a couple of text-only pages and set up a menu. [...]]]></description>

Slightly more success, and this time I seemed to get valid code, using the JA-purity template. From my point of view, I find it considerably less intuitive from a developers perspective, and this carries through to a non-technical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been writing a little application over the last week for my wife&#8217;s website to do some behind the scenes stuff maintaining a shop inventory. Nothing excessively complicated.
What&#8217;s been different however is that since these aren&#8217;t pages intended (or even accessible) for public consumption, I&#8217;ve been able to write them solely for Firefox3 &#8211; and [...]]]></description>

On this project we worked with an external design agency to develop the information architecture, user personas and user journeys. I was rather sceptical about this approach in this case as some work had already been done, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Been swearing at Wordpress this afternoon&#8230;
I&#8217;ve been trying to transfer an html form, which I had working perfectly on a static html page, onto a Wordpress page. Wordpress insisted on adding multiple &#60;br/&#62; tags where I didn&#8217;t want them. Mutter.
Eventually, after much searching, I identified a parameter within wp-includes/formatting.php, which allows you to disable this [...]]]></description>
