5 for Friday | The Week's Best Blogs (11/6/09 Edition)
I spent some time this week updating old articles on Mirificam Press. The first article I worked on called The Amazing LI: Using CSS and Unordered lists to do Just About Anything is coincidentally getting very close to the 100,000 page view milestone. Thanks to all my readers for making this articles such a big success. I also made updates on another popular article called Two Column CSS Layout: The Absolute Basics so you can check that out if you've never read it. And now here's this week's 5 for Friday.

This week I ran across a guide to email newsletter design that I found extremely helpful. If you're a web designer that uses standards and well-formed code, designing for an HTML email newsletter can be really frustrating. The 10 Basics of HTML Email Newsletters is definitely one to bookmark and revisit. Here are this week's 5 for Friday.

I've spent the last week or so updating and tightening old articles on Mirificam Press (something you wouldn't notice unless you happened to be perusing the archives). It's funny to look back and read some of the tutorial I wrote a couple years ago. It become obvious very quickly how much I've changed and grown in that time. Anyway, here are this week's 5 for Friday.

The Mirificam Press Video Series is now complete with all five sessions up and running. I'll be adding the whole series to the Series & Study page shortly for easy access. There were some great articles out there this week. I just had to include the "dual monitor background" article because I have dual monitors and I have never seen a collections of backgrounds specifically for that setup. Now, here's this week's 5 for Friday.

Okay, already finished with part 3 of the Mirificam Press Video Series. Just two more to go. In part four I'll be considering the question, what is good design? I've seen a pretty dramatic increase in questions and comments this week, not only on the video series but on old articles related to worldview as well. It's getting a little more complicated as I field comments and questions, not only on the Mirificam Press site itself, but on Facebook, Twitter, and Vimeo as well. Thanks to everyone who's been invloved. Now, here's this week's 5 for Friday.
