Curiously v1.1

Curiously Jeremiah version 1.1 includes small improvements:

  • Wicked awesome emoticons easily accessible on the comment forms courtesy of Alex King’s WP-Grins and Jason’s Smiley Collection.
  • Hella good formatting helpers on the comment forms courtesy of the ExpressionEngine license that I’m not using for this site.
  • Last and certainly least: Better Internet Explorer support. The treatment of Internet Explorer users via my Internet Explorer Education Detour generated quite an amount of hate mail. And yes, I do believe that my “militant” and “hostile” approach towards Internet Explorer’s inadequacies is necessary. To the less than 30% of my total visitors using Internet Explorer, may you enjoy a little more of what the other 70% partake.

Coming soon in Curiously Jeremiah 1.2:

  • RyanHarne.com called my archives sub-menu, “Explosive!” (I hear Pepto Bismo [sic] takes care of that problem.) Internet Explorer users whined that they couldn’t access my sub-menus. I couldn’t have cared less. But the new side menus in development sure are pretty… and somewhat more compatible with Internet Explorer’s horrible CSS rendering.
  • Full release of layout graphics.
  • Finger quotes.

As always, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Panic Transmit totally rock my world.

    I can’t agree that Dreamweaver MX 2004 rocks worlds… it is the ONLY tool that can do what ALL web developers need. I think it’s a sad commentary that the only good webdev tools out there are Dreameaver and Frontpage (gasp). However running a team that uses Dreamweaver in Macs, the amount of crashes and whatnot makes it a poor quality product.

    I like that Dreamweaver since the beginning has stolen the nice side toolkit system that Adobe pioneered with Photoshop, but it only get’s two stars not judged on what’s out there, but what SHOULD be out there.

    I have to respectfully disagree. While Dreamweave MX often had typing delays, redraw delays, upload delays, and painful Unexpected Quits, Dreamweaver MX 2004 is fast, stable, and lightyears beyond FrontPage in team management, server-side technologies, and XHTML/CSS support.

    I much prefer the MX 2004 palette system to PhotoShop’s palettes UI. I rarely use the actual toolbar because I use keyboard shortcuts to insert almost everything, if I am not rapidly typing code with code hints.

    All of Dreamweaver’s UI is driven by XML and JavaScript. If you don’t like it, it’s so easy to change. Check out the great help documentation on doing such.

    Good points! I will tell my 12 full time web developers they are wrong because Jerimiah says so… LOL

    oh hush :-D

    I’m just saying that in my personal experience, as a solo and team developer and working at my school’s digital production labs, I have not experienced performance problems.

    Great job with IE, Jeremiah ::awesome::
    It’s the right way to let people know that they can choose a better way to surf the web.
    I was thinking about doing this since months, today finally I did it on my site too! :-D
