User:SlysplaceWiki Projects

I participate or have participated in the following projects:

  • NFL The kind of project that REALLY makes you wonder why you began to edit anyway... and I don't even follow or necessarily like football
  • Photography A project I follow as an avid amateur photographer but rarely help with.
  • Florida a project but of more interest to me as my home state and I like to vacation in my backyard.
  • Tropical Cyclones I deal with them all day every day, Editing seems a COI.
  • Woodworking I've read most of this, cleaned up some of it.
  • Guitarists I mainly edit / cleanup the luthier stubs.

I haven't necessarily joined listed projects.

Hello there (totd announcements and task list)...

  • The tip set needs to be updated for 2008. New tips are needed, and existing tips need to be updated.
  • The tip archive for 2007 has been completed.
  • Help sort. The tip library has a section at the end with tips that need to be placed in the appropriate section on the page.

Tomorrow's tip of the day...

Preventing markup glitches

One problem that often occurs when building a complex table-based page, is that glitches show up on the page when viewed in other browsers, even though the page looks fine in the browser you used to build it. This problem is most prevalent when using new generation browsers and then viewing with Internet Explorer. Once the page is built, it can be very time-consuming to track down the bug, and may be faster to rebuild the page from scratch using IE, rather than spend time bug hunting. To prevent this problem, build the page using IE. If a page views properly in IE, then the chances are greater that it will display properly in other browsers, rather than the other way around.
