@bonpixel There are some killer plus tutorials. I don't know why it took me so long to become a member. Been thinking about it for months. in reply to bonpixel 2 days ago
Hello. It’s been close to half a year since I posted anything of significance. The only excuse I really have is lack of interest on my part and not really knowing what to write about. A lot of things have happened in my life the past few months so I’ve been quite remiss in dedicating time to this blog other than attending to the comments of a few popular articles I will discuss below.
I originally published this earlier this year on a blog related to my day job that I decided to retire. I’m republishing it here for the sake of posterity…
So here in WA State we have a new law going into effect on 6/12 that’s called the Distressed Properties Law. It will profoundly change how REALTORS® deal with foreclosures. To put it lightly, it has been a big deal for us getting our membership educated on the finer details and protocols called for in this new law.
At Washington REALTORS®, our Communications and IT departments are one and the same. I’m usually involved in bringing certain aspects of our PR campaigns to the web. The Distressed Properties campaign has been no different.

I must say I spend the vast majority of my day in Firefox which is probably the case for many web developer types out there. It is the de facto browser for development for a myriad of reasons… adherence to W3C standards (for the most part) being the biggest. But I think what gets me most excited about Firefox is the mind boggling array of add-ons available to developers. The foremost of which, in my opinion, is Chris Pedrick’s Web Developer Toolbar.
This add-on has so many amazing features that I will only introduce you to a few that I use regularly… ones that can save you huge amounts of time in debugging and help make your development cycle more efficient in general.

So I don’t know about you but I do a lot of image editing and optimization in my everyday web development tasks. Typically, in times past, I’ve used Adobe Fireworks CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3 for these activities. I’m still a heavy Fireworks user (I just love the CS3 update) but sometimes I want to do some quick and dirty editing without having to deal with the overhead of a desktop app (Photoshop I’m looking at you!). Enter Picnik.
It’s official… I exercised my right to vote. You should too. I’ll give you one guess who I voted for…
