Personas for Firefox has crashed. Can you possibly fix it. The problem seems to be the server.

Nothing yet huh? @Miksago. It’s a shame Dmendels didn’t mention any..

I have been search for such a mysterious app for quite sometime; most have been probably poking at swfmill and mtasc.

Just found opendialect [ http://dialect.openmodeling.net/ ]
-win32 and *nix support

Trying it out..

Comment on CSS Frameworks, and why I use them by Micheil

@Kroc Camen
Well, currently I use multiple imports to develop, but when It’s released, I’m using a compile script to merge into one and cache, then I server up the cached stylesheet.

Ultimately, it’s this: Who are you making things easy for?
If you want to make things easy for the user, then you’d ship one css file (either as written, or compiled) for maximum speed, or you want to make things easy for the developer, so you ship lots of css files you can easily modify, allowing for quick progress.

Wasting a HTTP request for a reset is bordering on the reckless though. Every single HTTP request counts. My reset is just one declaration at the top of my CSS page, no need for a separate file. In my next design, I’ll do away with the reset entirely as I’m not targetting IE, so I don’t need to please it’s behaviours.

@Kroc Camen:
The use of Frameworks I’d heavily recommend for a large site, where things vary lots. For example, sites that could use frameworks are DeviantART, The Times News, The Sydney Morning Herald. For Smaller sites, or less complexly designed sites, it’s usually not necessary to use a framework structure.

As for using the @import method, that’s just a chosen way, there’s any number of ways, including combining your css are production level.

The amount of CSS you have is going to boil down to the inherit complexity of your design.

If you want less CSS, design it as such when mocking up the design. When I’m in my image editor, I think about what parts will be CSS, and what parts will have to be background images (keeping those to a minimum).

That said, certain kinds of sites will use have a number of levels of clear separation between CSS uses, such as generic UI elements, and then specific implementations. In such a case where I have an @import sheet and several individual CSS files, I run a script to combine the sheets together before uploading. If you don’t combine sheets then the page will take much longer to load – not because of data size – but because of inherit lag in HTTP requests.

@crazy675 I found that used to use a method where I’d jump straight to code, but the problem I always had was I’d change things; so by doing paper first, i can get all my ideas out; and the research just helps them flow out.

I used to use the old photoshop method as well, but once I forced myself to use the 37signals method it really cut down on development time.
