Today I launched a jQuery plugin I’ve been working on for the last few months. It’s a slider plugin call Sequence and it’s unlike any other.
Today I came across Bruce Lawson’s article regarding vendor prefixes and the possibility that Opera, Mozilla and Microsoft will begin to implement -webkit CSS properties within their own browsers.
Their argument in my opinion is justifiable; too many developers are only targeting WebKit browsers, often leaving anything other than WebKit either with a lesser experience, or worse, completely neglected and broken. By parsing -webkit CSS properties, non WebKit browsers will be able to bridge the gaps left behind by developers that haven’t done their job as well as they should/could.
In the articles I have read regarding this, the blame seems to be resting entirely on the shoulders of developers which I think is unfair. Shouldn’t we question why developers haven’t taken the time to develop cross browser features?

WeAreHunted.com is a music website with some great functionality that makes it unique yet highly usable. In particular, I find the way in which a user can search the site to be very intuitive and it opens up the process to be a lot more useful. The site uses the full browser window to present the user with suggestions that closely match what they are looking for. In this month’s tutorial, we’re going to create our own version of WeAreHunted.com’s full screen search suggestion feature using jQuery, AJAX and PHP.

Today my business is one year old and I’m still here to tell the tale! I’m returning to my “Going Freelance” diary to discuss my year, hopefully to give you some helpful pointers and insights into the web design business (and self employment in general) as well as to help myself by going over what I’ve spent the year doing, what I’ve learnt and how I will approach freelance life next year.
