In my web travels (and twitter sessions) this week, I came across several sites that made me think, “Hey, that would make a great post” or “That’s is really good info”. So I thought I would pass these jewels along in their original form by the original authors.

It also provided some form of excellent value in response to questions I have noticed floating around during the past week or so.

In: Website Design

I have been working on a project recently where the customer has requested the use of PDF files in the content. This actually happens frequently, especially when the customer is not that web savvy. It usually also involves a lengthy discussion on the use of PDF files and the impact to the visitor.
