De-lurk and tell me what you want to read about

When I compare the number of people posting comments here to the number of people who are subscribed to the RSS feed and the number of visitors this site gets, I would guess that perhaps one out of every hundred regular visitors has ever posted a comment.

That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, mind you. In general, quality is better than quantity. But I am quite sure that there are many more readers who could post high quality, insightful comments, but for various reasons don’t. And that’s perfectly fine. However…

For the last three years on or close to this date, Veerle Pieters has written a De-Lurking post, encouraging all her readers to post a comment. She did it this year too, beating me to it. I had planned on writing a De-Lurking post this year, but I guess my Christmas break was a bit too long and made my brain slow down a bit. So I forgot, but luckily Veerle’s post served as a reminder :-).

So I’m curious:

Who are you (name and occupation)?
Where are you from?
How long have you been visiting this site?
Have you posted a comment here before?
What would you like to read more (or less) about here on 456 Berea Street?

Answer the questions you feel like answering. But please do post a comment!

1. Kilian Valkhof, dutch webdeveloper and student, and happy clog-member :)
2. That would be the Netherlands, then.
3. About 1, perhaps 1.5 years now, I’d guess
4. I have, sporadically, when I had something useful to add.
5. more technical articles, I always like reading your insights on css/javascript/html problems.
Also, 1 in a hunderd appears to be the golden rule for web interaction, so I wouldn’t be too let down about it. :p
January 8, 2007 by Jeff Cutsinger
1. See above. I develop web applications using ASP.NET (apologies/consolations welcome).
2. The US.
3. About a year? Don’t remember when I first started reading.
4. Yep.
5. I like what you post. Keep it up :)

1. Matt Ramos. Designer (mostly web, but started getting into print over the past few months).
2. New Jersey in the USA.
3. A little over one year
4. Maybe two or three.
5. I’d like to see more javascript “things”. Oh, and a music video to the 456 Berea Street song.
January 8, 2007 by Jan Sokoly
1. Jan Sokoly, developer
2. Slovakia
3. Hard to guess - some 2 years?
4. Once or twice.
5. I think it’s good as it is right now.
January 8, 2007 by Niklas
1. Niklas, student
2. Sweden
3. half a year
4. I’m not too used to commenting, working on it :)
5. perhaps more “reviews” of websites, it’s nice to read comments on design for inspiration

1. Nick Toye, UK freelance web designer.
2. UK
3. 2 years, I think?
4. Yes I think so.
5. No problem with the articles you write, but I’m not keen on the google ads, I understand the possible financial rewards, I just have issues with Google Ads.

Hi, I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina (South America).

I work for a travel agency doing some web design and some coding.

I don’t remember exactly when was the first time I read your site but I guess it have been like a year ago and this is my first comment.

What got me really interested is the tips and tricks for web desginers. Articles about good practices, links to nice sources of information, and general comments about your experience in the real world.

Let me take this oportunity to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
January 8, 2007 by Steve-o
1. ASP.NET developer
2. Naperville, IL
3. ~1 year
4. nope
5. Being on the programming side, I find it hard to separate the design of the site vs. functionality. I’ll create the most ridiculous GUIs and not even realize it until it’s in QA. I’d like to see some ideas on how to get into the design mindframe.
January 8, 2007 by Justin
1. Justin, New Media Designer at the Walker Art Center
2. Minneapplis, MN
3. 10 months or so
4. Nope.
5. Quirky web stuff.
I read a lot of sites via rss. I don’t comment on them all, nor do I read them all with the same priority. It is just the nature of the beast. I don’t think it is entirely reasonable for every site to expect to build an extensive community. It’s kind of like Warhol might say today: “On the Web, everyone is famous to 15 people.”

1. Kim, Student
2. Sweden
3. For a year or so.. perhaps more.
4. Once or twice
5. More deep-digging undercover reviews of webpages. Perhaps structure, css and so on. And a real crash course about make beautiful accessible, usable websites. Maybe a co-written article about it with Veerle?
Thats about it. Keep up the good work Roger!

1. I’m Paul Waite, web developer (the client-side stuff: HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
2. I’m from London, England.
3. Ooh, er, I think I’ve been visiting this site for 2 or 3 years.

3. About 6 Months
4. Yes. As often as I feel I can contribute to the discussion.
5. I think you do a pretty good job of picking topics to discuss. It seems like there were a few articles that were about very specific things that I couldn’t sink my teeth into. The only one I can think of now was the cars website post. Those are few and far between though.

2. China, but I live in the US now
3. About 6 months
4. No, it never occurred to me to comment
5. I’d love to see more CSS tricks or anything that has to do with CSS. Not so much Javascript.
January 8, 2007 by lm

i have a comment on a comment - to comment N14: “more usability less accessibility”? I think on Berea Street you heard not once that accessibility is a usability for everybody. *not yet de-lurking reader (regular for 3 years).

2. Göteborg, Sweden :D
3. I’d say for about 2 years.

5. More accessibility tips and tricks would be great! A little too much debating in your posts lately (though always interesting).
January 8, 2007 by Richard Herrera
1. Richard Herrera, Lead Technical Designer.
2. Los Angeles, CA, USA
3. About 2-3 years. Your site was the first I’d ever heard about web standards.
4. Yes, once or twice. I’m mainly here for the in depth and extremely useful articles.
5. More on Javascript, benefits of JSON, maybe some articles on pros/cons of modular CSS, compare/contrast coding techniques of expert standardistas, perhaps an article on .NET and CSS compatibility or workarounds (help!).
Brilliant website, Roger. Your articles have helped me in ways I can’t count, and are now helping me lead a fast-learning team into more advanced standards-oriented solutions.

4. I have posted one comment here (guess this makes it two). I may post more, but often times there is too much “noise” and feel it is useless adding another comment (even if it may be useful).
5. I am a JavaScript junky and am always looking for new concepts and techniques to challenge what I currently know.

2. The Netherlands

5. I like to read about best practices, and I’m not really interested (anymore) in standards evangelism (I think at this site it’s preaching to the choir).

1. Nate Klaiber, lead web developer at http://www.barbourbooks.com/
2. New Philadelphia, OH
3. About a year and a half

1. Brett Mitchell — Sales Representative and PHP/HTML coder
2. Vancouver, BC Canada
3. Since roughly March of ‘06, but I went back and read most of the archives.
4. Few and far between.
5. As always, I’m on the look out for more great resources on convincing the non-technies to stay away from companies who make gorgeous designs that are completely useless without images, or without css, or without javascript, use macromedia image rollovers, etc etc.
Convincing a mid-size business of why standards are crucial is absolutely depressing.

3. No idea. Probably around one year,

3. Oh… I don’t know. A couple of years, maybe… :-)
4. Yes, when I hope people will read my stuff as well… ;-)
5. Personally, I’d like to see you write more posts with a personal touch that aren’t related to web developing.
Also, as a blogger who also desperately yearns for comments, I’d like to point out (which I’m sure is also your opinion, Roger) that it is perfectly fine to be anonymous too. Do whatever suits you best. In the end, we who blog are just ridiculously excited by people reading, and eternally grateful that we can in any way help, entertain or amuse you. :-)

5. The 456 Berea Street articles that I have saved in Bloglines are: 1) Build your own PHP style sheet switcher, 2) Are accessibility evaluation tools useless?, 3) Accessibility for all vs. for people with disabilities, 4) Nikita the Spider: a bulk validation and link checking tool, 5) 37 HTML FAQs answered
… so in summary I key in on anything related to accessibility and handy tools for my homebrew websites. I also thoroughly read and enjoyed a few of the articles in which you covered various conferences; wishful thinking on my part.

3. Seems like I’ve been reading your site for a few years. I’m definitely a lurker, mostly because either I don’t have anything to contribute or someone beat me to the punch.
4. I can’t remember my last comment. It’s been a year or three.
5. This is a total cop-out, but I think you’re doing just fine. You post a nice blend of topics, mostly related to web design/development. Keep up the good work.

5. I personally prefer reading about xhtml/css, standards compliance, unobtrusive javascript, microformats, and design theory.
It would be interesting to hear about your per-projects design process, the tools/software you use, and any CMS or frameworks you might use. Interviews with industry-folk would be cool too… but don’t change for us - just do what is fun and interesting for you and your passion will come through!

1. Mike. I’m an ICT (Information and Communication Technology, or ‘Computing’ for the oldies) Teacher.
2. From the UK
3. Just a few months
4. I don’t think so; I typed a few in but decided that they weren’t actually as insightful as they sounded in my head, so I don’t think I actually sent any.
5. I like reading about all the things that I’m doing wrong with accessibility, standards compliance and stuff when I develop the myriad of websites for my school and personal stuff. I try my very hardest to get it right, so adding new “1-ups” to my stuff over the other would-be-webdesigners around me is always nice - I’m still by far the best ;)

1. Jonathan Phillips. I’m doing freelance web and database development (at least until my wife finishes her Ph.D.)
2. I spend about half the year in Ithaca, New York and half in Istanbul.
3. The 456 Berea Street post which turned me from an occasional into a regular reader was on “The perils of using XHTML properly,” which I see was just shy of two years ago.
4. I’m a bit sheepish about posting, but I think I recall submitting a comment once.
5. In contrast with some other posters, I’m actually very interested in reading more about “design” proper. The information about best practices is fantastic, and your technical articles rival any resource out there. But the biggest hurdle in my own work is that next step of turning a site architecture and layout that really work well into a aesthetic design.

4. Yes.
5. I particularly enjoy “best practices” sorts of articles combined with the technical goodies - it seems like a lot of times it’s easy to find many potential solutions to a given problem, but it’s more difficult to know which one is the best solution. Thus, some discussion of advantages/drawbacks beyond the bare technical explanation is useful - reasons that you could take to the boss, for instance, as rationale for implementing a given solution in a situation.

3. A year or so, since I started adding just about every web-related feed I could find to my reader. Yours is one of the ones that stuck around.
4. Maybe once or twice - I’m mostly a lurker through my feed reader.
5. I dig the accessibility stuff, but I think you should write what works for you. I’m still reading because I’m interested in what you’re doing. :)

3. Oh, it’s been over a year at least.
4. Yes, a few times. You should implement Jonathan Snook’s feature of showing all comments a person has made ;-)
5. Hm, I like a lot of what you write (duh), but I think I love technical entries more - at least those’d be ones I’d be likely to comment on. On a non-web topic I always like comments on recommended books and music.
I’m surprised to be only the second norwegian de-lurking here, and the one who “beat me to it” I recognize from elsewhere. Small country, I guess ;-)

5. I’m happy with 456 Berea Street as it is: I like the technical articles, I like the random songs, and other shenanigans that occur here (and I say that in a light-hearted way).

Practical usa(ccesi)bility

Productivity enhancing tips and tricks (new mac user here, love the added productivity, or perhaps just the fewer interuptions).

Your (painful) ventures into WebSphere Portal, would be amusing to those of us that have been there, and serve as a warning to others.

Love the site as it is to be honest, good to see someone tell it like it is. It’s my firm belief that honesty is the only way forward.

On a side note, I’m glad to see most of the comments to this question are using ordered lists. Keep up the semantics everyone! Actually, these should probably be definition lists, right? Ah… whatever.

3. I think I added your site to my RSS reader just this past summer.
4. I’ve posted ONE comment. I don’t like doing “me too” posts, and honestly, I visit more for instruction than discussion since I don’t have that much experience with accessibility.
5. As I said in #4, I visit because of your instructive posts, but also because I like your writing style and the fact that your site reflects what you preach. So I guess my request would be keep doing what you’re doing and get even better at it ;)
January 8, 2007 by Igor

Igor a student from Sweden would like to read more of whatever you write about. Nowdays junk from TV is totally replaced by nutritious RSS feeds and as soon as nutrition value starts to drop I’ll let you know. Till then: be well and keep us busy reading your blog.

Thanks!

5. I’d like to see CSS tutorials and articles as well as articles covering Safari (possiblities, differences, visual design (forms, antialiasing), quirks - if any), if you use this browser. Many of use don’t and it’d be great to read about it.

5. Web accessability, XHTML/CSS tips, innovative new thoughts on web design. Actually, what brought me to “delurk” is that I was stumped for the site I’m working on right now and my exact thought was “I wonder if 465 Berea St has anything helpful”, so for the most part, what I’ve seen here already has proven most helpful, so keep it up.
PS. Thanks for the encouragement to delurk. Kinda was always scared to ‘cause I haven’t been at the designing game for long and didn’t feel I had much to input. I may post more after this. Thanks again. :)

5. The toughest, most confusing aspect of web design for me right now is designing so that my design will actually look like a website, and less like a bunch of puzzle pieces tossed on a table in IE. Oh, what the world of web design would be like without IE…

5. Accessibility and standards from a “code monkey’s” standpoint. It’s hard justifying standards and Web accessibility to managers who don’t care because they can’t see a visual difference in the site. They’d rather feel the pain of maintenance later than the pain of a little extra effort up front because they probably won’t be the ones who have to maintain it later—it’s see ya later after the contract is done.
Love your site! It’s at the top of my RSS feeds. Keep it up.

5. That’s a tough question. If I knew what I wanted to know I’d buy a good book on the subject and be done with it. There it is - I want to know what books I should be buying. What cool new web development technologies/techniques are others using that I should be up to speed on (or avoiding), and how best to put them to use (best practices/example sites done right).

Bugger me backwards, Roger! You’ve got a lot of replies to this one!
1. Who are you (name and occupation)
  
  I’m Oli and I’m a part-webdesigner, part superhero… When I’m not working, I’m plugging bits and bobs onto my site.
2. Where are you from?
  
  England
3. How long have you been visiting this site?
  
  Not long really. I noticed you on 9r and thought I needed more people on my blogroll. Not a great reason but you were the best of the best 9r had to offer and I’m happy that I read your posts.
4. Have you posted a comment here before?
  
  I’ve emailed you before — I think there was even a comment once… It’s hard to tell when people have to be “anonymous”. You should incorp some form of OpenID system so people can keep ownership of comments.
5. What would you like to read more (or less) about here on 456 Berea Street?
  
  Just keep it going, mate. You’re doing well with high quality articles. If I had to pick something to nuke, if would be the “Digg this” button.
And markdown is buggy… makes getting the post looking correct, difficult!

January 9, 2007 by jaspoid one

My name is Daniel Granstrom and I’m 25. I currently work with web usability, accessibility, and cost-efficiency in the personal software market, at my wreck of an upstart, jaSpOiD.coM - currently designing a personal weblog solution that I can hopefully launch in a month.

I’m also an active member of the Green Party of Sweden locally, in Saffle, Varmland, and Sweden, where I live - more or less on all those levels, really - mostly interested in information systems, communication, trade, and sustainable consumption of natural resources.

Thereto I’m a wannabe stand-up comedian doing my first “testdrive” in February at a friend’s small, local comedy club for a few minutes.

Anyway, I’ve probably been visiting this site sparsely on and off for at least 3 years through external links. (I don’t really keep track on where I’ve read what for so long.) But more recently - the last month or so - quite a lot, browsing the archives, because of my web design work.

Have I commented? Yes. Only just recently. On the “highlights 2006”, and “97% inaccessible” threads.

So. What I wanna see more.. “How to build the best personal weblog platform ever from scratch in one month”? Well, really, I believe it’s probably better if you poke at what inspires you for the moment. But pondering on accessibility issues, and possible solutions, is both fun and useful - I think.

2. Australia.
3. About 6 months, found it during research when I started my new job.
4. I think I may have, it would have been a question or along the lines of ‘as someone learning CSS I found <topic> a little difficult to understand or had problems myself when trying to implement/use <topic>’.
5. I really like the balance of articles about using CSS, commentary on how standards are evolving, etc. Even as a beginner I understand most of what goes on in code examples and what causes bugs and how the fixes work, though I may not get the chance to use a lot of it right now. I appreciate the repetitious evangelism, it might get old for some (preaching to the converted) but it’s a good reminder for me to keep improving when I can. I’ve learnt here that you can’t suddnely become completely standards valid but every time you make an effort to be as valid/accessible as possible you help make the web a better place.

4. I’m not sure.
5. More idealistic web standards how-tos. I loved the bit on bashing the target attribute in favor of JavaScript. It’s amazing how much more you have to do to replace such a simple thing, but I love that people take the time to figure out how to do things correctly!

4. Just the one. Now two.
5. I really like the current content and coverage of the web industry. Really like practical examples and especially critiques of good/bad practice … a focus on naming and shaming big companies who should improved practice (eg. accessibility) would be good. Not advocating witchhunts, mind ;o)

I think I’ve posted a comment before but am usually too intimidated by the talent.

As far as content for the future, more of what you’re already writing. I’ve learned a lot from reading your site, so thank you!

I’ve been a active visitor of this site since early 2004.

2. Berlin, Germany
3. Little over half a year, I think.

Stuff like that :)

Apart from that, I just like reading the posts and the insights of others.

I always find that kind of stuff very interesting. Got a few good ideas from things you posted. For example, the tip toward the ‘Getting stuff done’ book. An invaluable tool. I’d also love to read more about accessible, aestheticly pleasing CSS based form design.
Keep up the great work!

3. I can’t remember exactly, but you were one of my first non-spanish feeds I subscribed to. That should be about 2 years.
4. mmm, maybe I’ve posted one or 2 comments but I’m not sure about that.
5. I think that contents are pretty good so far. Some topics I’ve read here were the first time I hear about, and that’s what I expect, keep reading the english webdevelopment buzz before It reaches the spanish speaking blogosphere. IMHO, I prefer fewer worthy posts than lots of content just to be indexed on search engines (that is what many bloggers are doing)
Good work!!!

Hello,

My name is Stephen Hill (Web Developer) and I am one of those people who is subscribed to your posts, reads them, but hardly ever post a comment.

I live in the “United Kingdom of Great England Land” and I have been subscribed to your site for about 6month now, in which time I may have only made about 1 or 2 comments.

I really enjoy some of the topics that you cover, many of which cause a lot of debate which I enjoy.

I would like to see you continue to write these questioning articles, but I would also like to see more practical ones: tips n tricks, howto’s etc.

Anyway, I’ll crawl back into the wood work for another year :)

Cheers Stephen

4. Can’t really remember, but I think not.
5. I think your pretty well rounded on the subjects I enjoy, but one subject that comes to mind that I wouldn’t mind reading more on is “Making a Business Case Out of Web Standards and Best Practices”. Still worth repeating to a lot of people, even if you risk preaching to the choir considering the readership here. But on the other hand, better arguments and clearer discourse is a useful tool to spread.
Thank you, Roger!

4. Yes, commented a few times.
5. I’d like to see more success stories. We all know failed redesigns are still the norm, but there’s a growing number of sites being rebuilt to be more accessible and standards compliant.
  
  A more positive outlook on the progress being made could make best practises more attractive to the mainstream. Your current readership are already convinced but the mainstream still need the benefits to be spelt out. :)

5. Generally its really good, I like your writing style and everything “flows” nicely.
I would like to see an article as to why a mac is so well suited to web development. I keep hearing people saying it is, but i don’t know why!

Perhaps a run down of some of the development tools available and how they are better than thier windows counterparts?

Other than that excellent job. I don’t comment often, as I usually stealthily read your site at work in between compiling.

This site has been on my rss for a long time, at least 2+ years.

May have commented. Once or twice at the most.

I mostly read your thoughts about site architecture, code structure, web evolution, configuration, concerns about css/html, accessibility, usability etc.. things that affect decisions at project level. Your write-ups on future of web design are also interesting. Keep it up.

Cheers.

My name is Edward Delaporte. I’m a web developer in the United States.

In spite of the fact that I am primarily a code-head; my clients often leave significant web design decisions in my hands. So I read here with the goal of improving my understanding of design, presentation and accessibility.

I’ve been reading this site for around a month now, and have learned a great deal; and this is my first comment. Your straightforward, detail-oriented writing has been very enlightening. Thanks!

Since I haven’t been here very long; and because I come humbly to this world from the related but not particularly complimentary world of software architecture; I would definitely enjoy a selection of ‘crash courses’ in design fundamentals.

5. I think you’re preaching to the converted about accessibility. I’m glad you’re still pushing for it, and the article on the car sites was insightful - I think there could be more in the same vein, by yourself or others - however I’m only interested in principle level developments in the area.

January 10, 2007 by Michel Bozgounov
Hi, Roger!

I often read your blog and I enjoy it! (and I’m not lurking at all;-)

I’ll answer here briefly your questions:
1. Who are you (name and occupation)? — My name is Michel Bozgounov, and I am webdesigner. I mostly code (x)html and CSS. I try to follow Webstandards as close as I can, I (like) love beautiful, semantic code and nicely organized CSS (and unobtrusive JavaScript, too;-) I also do some graphic design (mostly for the Web); my tool of preference is Macromedia Fireworks. From the beginning of this year I started my own blog (Optimiced.com), so I can start writing about the topics I have a strong interest in - like CSS, photography, graphic design… and cycling:) My latest CSS design is www.cantarco.de and I’m quite proud of it :)
2. Where are you from? — I’m from Sofia, Bulgaria (and from 10 days my contry is member of the EU;-)
3. How long have you been visiting this site? — Dunno, I know it for more than a couple of years, I think, but only lately I started to visit it almost daily. I even posted a link to 456BereaStreet in my blogroll, so now I don’t have to type the URL when I want to go to visit you:)
4. Have you posted a comment here before? — Yes, not very often, but more than once:)
5. What would you like to read more (or less) about here on 456 Berea Street? — CSS, CSS, CSS :-) Also, some more info on your beautiful country would be welcome! :-)
Well, I think that’s all…

Sincerely, Michel

PS/Note: Can we know how you create your “Possiblye related posts” box? Plug-in? Can it be adapted to WordPress? Thank you in advance!! I’m searching for something like that! :)

5. Styling form controls, but I see you added that. Ah you must have read my mind. Also your take on JS libraries for the non JS person. I am curious to your opinion…
January 10, 2007 by Roger Johansson (Author comment)

WOW!

Thank you so much, everybody. It’s been great reading all the comments on this post, and there are many good suggestions as well. I’m listening and while this is my site as several of you have noted, I do not write just for myself. Your opinions matter to me and I will try to make you want to keep coming back.

Keep the comments coming!

The tutorials in the Lab have been particularly helpful, and it’d be great to see more of them. Thanks for all the help over the years—you’re still tops on my blogroll.

5. Roger: Just keep doing the same. Everything you write about is good, beneficial and good-learning. Don’t write for us, write because you enjoy writing! But I am most interested in XML, XSLT, RSS, RDF and PHP. Learning this stuff alone and late-at-night isn’t easy!

5. Besides all the excellent articles on accessibility, web standards, css, (x)html, I would like to see more articles about different issues web developers face in their daily work but not strictly related to web itself (like you did an article on Coping with noise in the workplace). And to repeat what Dave Brimlow (comment no 358) already requested, I would like to see modern solution for “Equal height boxes with CSS”.
Thank you very much for great articles and keep up the good work.

No.

Keep doing just what you are doing. My only comment would be some more basic or intro articles. No matter how much I try to educate my self about web design, standards, and CSS some of your articles/posts going right over my head. But I am guessing I am not exactly your core target audience.

Like IE bugs, workarounds for some CSS issues, new improvements and ideas to unobtrusive JS etc. Ans also I use your articles as a kind of gateway to all the many blogs about related topics, that I just don’t have time to scan through.
Keep up the good work.

5. I’d like to see more “lab” posts… but I recognize that those are very intensive to write, so maybe a bit more commentary on controversial topics - such as Flash v. No Flash, Fluid V. Static, that kind of stuff. And accessibility is always good.

3. I have been visiting 456bereastreet.com on and off for a few years.
4. I haven’t posted any comments.
5. My favorite articles on your site are the ones where you have commented about something you have personal experience with or a problem you solved. I like the reviews because I like to see what smart, talented designers are reading. I think the job openings are pretty cool. One addition I think would be nice for 456bereastreet.com is a comprehensive index or table of contents. I do like the categories list, but since you have so much content, an index might be another way to give readers a big picture view of everything you’ve written about. Just an idea.

1. Richard Rutter, web site designer
2. From Woking (in the London commuter belt) now happily living in brighton
3. A significant number of years
4. Posted quite a few comments down the years
5. Would like to read what Roger does when he’s not doing web stuff. Failing than more gubbins on CSS and accessbility will do the job nicely.

1. Scott, web developer
2. British Columbia, Canada; in the Greater Vancouver Area, but not in the city of Vancouver itself.
3. I haven’t been keeping track, but probably a few months more than a year.
4. A few times; I don’t have much to say in person either.
5. I’m not a very good designer, so I would be interested in articles targetted at developers (people who mainly write code) who want to learn about design. I don’t mean stuff like picking fonts or how to make a CSS layout, but how to decide which CSS layout is appropriate for a particular client, how to pick colors, how to convince the client that you made the appropriate choices, and how to deal with the client’s demands for change if you’re unable to convince them.

5. What would you like to read more (or less) about here on 456 Berea Street? More: I especially like reading your opinions/overviews of current web news etc. Less: Mac stuff :-)

I’d like more articles & book recomendations about server-side stuff such as:
- PHP (and possibly ASP)
- Server configuration (so that beginners learn the proper ways) for things like:
- Form handling & processing
- Apache configuration for things such as redirecting users to a consistent domain name (either with or without the “www” hostname from the other) while preserving the path, rather than just redirecting to the root from any path
- Setting up tools like URL rewriting and such

Hey Roger,
1. I’m Albert, mainly technician, managing director and workoholic, but occasionally in spare-time also web hobbyist in rebuilding my company’s website.
2. I’m from the Netherlands.
3. I think I have discovered this huge eye-opener two months ago. I have learned and have used a lot of techniques and tips from this site.
4. Yes, I have posted a comment and certainly will do that again if the topic isn’t understandable (which is never the case) or if I can add something interesting more.
5. I’m such a newbie that I couldn’t guess what to want to read about any further; everything is new for me. I like your simple and plain writing style, the looks of this site, and the high quality content. Just keep on the good work.
Thanks.
