i just noticed some updates to google maps… they no longer have that subtle, hard to click, black arrow to maximise the map to the full width of the browsers. They’ve replaced it with this
in the bar along the top, which is a lot easier to use. Kudos.
I don’t know if the “Send” functionality has been updated either, but it looks like it has… and it has a lingering string in the background that’s visible in opera ( check the top left, looks like “false” )

I’ve always like the native browser style of the combined, fieldset & legend elements. The line through the centre of the word on a correct background color. Very neat.
I wanted to mimic the same style for my headings, so with that in mind you can check out the demo here.
The markup is pretty basic, which is what I wanted…
<h1><a>some text</a></h1>
The CSS is minimalist too:
h1 { color:#0000CC; font-size:13pt; border-top:1px solid #0000CC; position:relative; text-align:left; }
h1 a { padding:0 10px; background-color:#FFFFFF; position:relative; margin-left:10px; top:-9px; }
Just a quick little post to get things rolling on here. Let me know what you think.
Cheers

I recently got reintroduced to this girl, this song is just superb.

Given that the video is up on youtube 2 years I’m sure that most reading know about her, but still, to the uninitiated… enjoy.

It’s been way too long.
Long story short, I was blogging at keithfoster.info but I now have a shiny new domain, so I’m going to transfer all blogging to my new shiny domain. Well at least that was the plan, in May.
It’s now mid july and nothing has been done. Lots has been happening but nothing has been posted. I was working on a new blog design, but that was just holding me back from writing. So for now, I’m going to write and work on the new design at the same time.
For a quick snapshot of what’s been happening:
- Moved back to Toronto,
- Back working at FutureBrand
- http://www.culturerocks.com - cool new site, some usability issues but interesting looking at it all being built on top of wordpress, on tight time lines.
- Bought an apartment.
So it’s been quite the few months.
Stay tuned.
