So as you notice this was a premade theme, when I first saw it I fell in love. But it just isn’t perfect. So I am making a derivative theme, for this site that is looking pretty smoody cool. If you have an suggestions just drop a comment below. I’ll be sure to give you guys a preview soon.

This is a question that I have to ask myself every time I design a website. With so many different browser rendering engines out there its hard to get it to look exactly the same to everyone. The worst is IE, although with the new IE8 it is somewhat better.

The W3C needs some help

The biggest issue isn’t the browsers themselves, no its the W3C. Technology is a fast pace enviroment but they seemed to have missed the memo. New standards for the different web technologies are coming out slower and slower. HTML5 isn’t supposed to be ready for anther 10 years! HTML4 and XHTML are becoming long in the tooth, and quickly becoming outdated for the ideas of new web apps. HTML5 is looking really cool, with many different features that are much needed. The biggest sign that HTML5 needs to become a recommendation faster is that people are already pushing the limited support for HTML5 to the brim. Its like vista, it took 8 years to develop and by the time they released it, well it had flopped. Now these standards can’t flop, because that’s all that is there and that is what the web relies on, but they will cause major headaches for web developers.
I do think that if HTML5, CSS3, etc. aren’t finished in the next 1-2 years there will be an uprising of developers.

Hold up, Browsers need help too

Now let’s not lay this blame solely on the W3C. The major browser companies have a hand in this pot too. Adoption of these recommendations have been slow, needless to say IE is the slowest of all, but all get to that in a second. Its good and all to have competition in the browser arena, but it is causing a rift in feature support. Only some features work in some browsers and that is just not cool. I want to be able to build a website and not even have to worry about how it looks in different browsers because they have my back. This is my dream world and I only hope that someday this utopia will come true.
Now IE, what do we do with you? You hold the majority of the market share yet you are the worst compliant browser of all time. At your current adoption rate you won’t match up with your brethren until 2025! Now this could all change if you went the route of google and so many others, and that is to adopt Webkit! Yes you heard me, swallow your pride and except that Trident sucks, and implement a browser engine that will stay compliant with the big dogs! Think about it, you can still have the IE experience but render web pages with beauty! With that bombshell I think I will end this post.

So what do you think of my first post on my blog? I don’t really know what to talk about, so drop a comment below throwing in some suggestions. I want to keep it in the realm of web development, graphic design, motion graphics, photography, and filmography.

Hello this is my new blog. A brief introduction of myself, I am a web developer and I am well versed in current design trends. I can write many different languages fluently such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and last but not least Ruby on Rails. But my real dream is to become a Director of major motion pictures, I love to create movies. So I hope to have this blog updated weekly with different content from my mind, mostly tutorials.
