Doug Bowman, of Stopdesign has gone back to the coloured version of his site (personally I liked liquid bleach). He’s added a Style-switcher, but he’s done it in a better way than those obscure, unlabelled buttons you see floating around. He’s added a preferences page where the user can choose their layout of choice and the results are cookied. Also, which is rather nice, the base text size is also cookied.

Firefox PR1.0 is out. Firefox was already a good browser in it’s beta stages. This release is simply the best browser on the mac at the moment. Very quick, stable and packed with useful functionality. This release see’s RSS being present now as Live Bookmarks, cool idea and stops me having to open my rss application to go through my feeds. If a site has RSS, a little icon appears, I bookmark it from there and that’s it!

You don’t need to bother with an RSS application - bloglines.com is *excellent*

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
