I agree with this bloke - it's starting to look like blatant advertising.

Am I the only person on this list who is sick of the constant and blatant
advertising for this Content Management System? Don't we have rules against
this? If so, they are not being enforced.

Subject: Re: Browser Backwards Compatibility -- How far back?
Most websites we build at SilverStripe have IE 6.0 as a minimum, and even
then, we're unpatiently anticipating the time when we can drop IE 6.
FireFox (2), Safari (3), Chrome (latest) users are more encouraged to keep
up to the latest versions, and have more aggressive update mechanisms, so we
just use the bracketed versions as minimum.
We have not given thought to Netscape for years.
The same applies to when we're working on the administration interface of
our open source SilverStripe CMS (www.silverstripe.org.)
Cheers,
Sig.

Subject: Blueprint & Grids
After reading 'Transcending CSS' I have learnt that grids are not a
replacement for table based layouts (as has been drummed into me by so
called evangelists on IRC). I understand the importance of grids in print
and non-web media and now want to start using them.
I've started using Blueprint. I quickily scrolled through the CSS file and
got a grasp for it.
My problem is this. In the book I am seeing examples where they are using 4
and 5 columns. I have developed a layout, which uses the divine proportion.
So far I have the container, and 2 divs. Now, within these grids do I use
more columns to go with the layout and structure of the design? And if so,
how can I overlap? For example, in the "main-content" area I might have 5
columns, now lets say using Blueprint and my own CSS I want to use 4 columns
for the content and 1 for meta date per article. How do I use all 4 and
leave the one?
Sounds like a silly, vaugue, question ... I know. But I'm a little taken by
this and am eager to learn because I feel this is going to greatly boost
productivity.
Thanks
