Notes on suggesting link styles

This guide explains how to write CSS selectors for styling different link states (unvisited, visited, hovered, focused, and active) in a way that works correctly across browsers with varying CSS support levels. The author recommends using selectors like `:link`, `:visited`, `:link:hover`, `:visited:hover`, and `:link:active, :visited:active` rather than simpler alternatives, detailing why common approaches fail in specific browsers and why the proposed method degrades gracefully. The document includes browser-by-browser compatibility notes, recognizing quirks in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Netscape that would cause incorrect styling if other selector patterns were used.

Rephlux - A continuous integration tool for PHP

Rephlux is a PHP-based continuous integration tool that automates testing and building for PHP projects by monitoring a CVS repository for changes, running test scripts when updates are detected, and executing deployment or documentation tasks upon successful test completion. Inspired by the Java tool CruiseControl, it was designed to improve upon SourceForge's basic nightly builds for team-based development. The project is functional but early-stage, with significant limitations including Linux-only support, integration only with CVS and SimpleTest, and plans for future expansion to support Subversion and PHPUnit.

Real Money Casino

colr.org

This comprehensive guide reviews ten real-money and sweepstakes online casinos for US players, examining welcome bonuses, payment methods, game variety, licensing status and account protection features. The guide emphasizes that bonus percentages are misleading metrics — what determines actual value is the wagering requirement, the base it's calculated from, withdrawal caps and time limits — and demonstrates this with specific examples showing how identical-sounding offers deliver very different value depending on deposit size. The critical distinction throughout is between state-licensed operators, which provide regulatory oversight and a formal complaint escalation path, and offshore or sweepstakes-model casinos, which offer no recourse beyond the operator's own process and should weigh heavily against their promotional appeal.

Wyome (Xaraya Blog)

Athenana is a personal curation and bookmarking service where users save links, notes, images, and highlights from across the web, organized through tags and search rather than folders. The platform offers flexible publishing options—from keeping items private to sharing them on a personal front page or blog with RSS feeds—and interoperates with other software through open standards rather than proprietary APIs. It's one of several carefully-made small apps built by a solo developer, currently available by invitation at athenana.com.

Common fonts

This reference guide lists the "browser-safe fonts" that were reliably available across Windows and Mac systems in the early 2000s, along with their cross-platform substitutes for use in CSS font-family declarations. Since browsers could only display fonts already installed on a user's computer, web designers needed to restrict themselves to this standardized set and use fallback options to ensure consistent appearance across different operating systems and machines. The guide includes detailed notes on compatibility quirks, such as which fonts only work in certain browsers or fail to render properly with bold and italic styles on particular systems.

How to size text using ems | clagnut/blog

This article explains how to use em units for font sizing in CSS to enable text resizing in all browsers while maintaining pixel-level precision. The author advocates setting the body font-size to 62.5% (converting the default 16px to 10px), then calculating child element sizes using the formula "child pixels ÷ parent pixels = child ems" to make the math intuitive. The piece addresses common complications like nested elements, heading inconsistencies across browsers, and form controls, providing a systematic approach to em-based typography that was practical for early 2000s web standards.

And all that Malarkey [CSS: Hold the front page]

The author demonstrates how to create a magazine-style multi-column news layout using only semantic HTML elements (definition lists, headings, and unordered lists) with CSS styling, avoiding the need for extra wrapper divs. The technique uses floated definition lists for featured items, smaller floated definition lists for secondary news, and floated list items for additional links, with specific CSS rules to handle layout and the IE doubled float-margin bug. The approach was tested across multiple browsers including Internet Explorer 5-6, Firefox, Opera, and Mozilla.
