Firefox add-ons for web developers

Posted on July 30th, 2007 by Jeff Lin

If you’re a web developer or even a web designer, there are three Firefox add-ons that you probably already use. If not, get them now and consider this your first step into smart web development.

Any other suggestions? What do you use?

Web icons are cool

Posted on July 18th, 2007 by Jeff Lin

Icons can make your website look super cool when used properly. My preference is to use icons that are exactly 16 pixels by 16 pixels. That’s just about the height of a line of text so the images line up well with words. I am a huge fan of Mark James’s “Silk” icon set that you can download for free from his website at famfamfam.com. Dan Cederholm also provides very nice icons for purchase at his Icon Shoppe. Go nuts.

Time Magazine’s 50 best websites of 2007

Posted on July 10th, 2007 by Jeff Lin

Time Magazine prematurely posted a list of the 50 best websites for 2007. I say prematurely for two reasons:

  1. 2007 is far from over
  2. Bust Out Solutions is still developing our niche social networking website that will launch later this year

Either way, cast your vote. There are some good ones in the list for sure!
