Signs Of Unprofessionalism

- A guestbook. If your blog or webpage has a guestbook, you are an idiot.
- Graphical hit counter. The bad kind.
- Silver font
- A .cjb.net domain name.
- A website made in Frontpage
- use of Tables for the layout. And no CSS. It’s just grosse and messy. quote Dave.
Looking for contributions!
Where Do I Put My Thingies?
July 31, 2006 – 4:53 pm
Simple answer, on my new storage/homepage. Although this is still the site I’ll be using primarily, Asim has given me a subdomain and some hosting dev.sourcenode.net. This is where I will be putting all of my sample layouts and examples, much thanks! Of course with this there is also a new (more professional, less hotmail) email redirection, lol@dev.sourcenode.net.
Must-haves: Firefox Extensions

Note that these are in no particular order and are not specifically for website designers, but more leadless browsers.
- Del.icio.us allows you to tag websites and view your bookmarks quickly, as well as many other neat Del.icio.us features. I use this extension. Link
- Web Developer Toolbar is one of my favourites. It allows many (and I mean many) functions and tools for aiding web developers, my favourite being Outline.
Link - Fangs is an accessibility tool that can parse websites as it would be on a screen reader. Link
- Screen grab! lets you take complete pictures of websites instead of only one frame. I use this extension. Link
- Gmail Notifier is rather self-descriptive. Link
- Firebug is virtually a built in DOM inspector and validator. I use this extension. Link
Now, you can see there aren’t many. This isn’t me being lazy, it’s that those 6 (and I only use 3 of them) are the only real plugins I see as a must-have. Any suggestions?
Up next: Applications.
