Automatic layout generator. CSS crib sheet. You will no doubt come across many quirky layout issues when building a site with CSS. You'll end up banging your head against a wall time and again.

Translations are available in Français, Deutsch, Nederlands, Italiano, Magyar, Finnish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. (No more will be posted.) When in doubt, validate. When debugging, you may save yourself a lot of headache by simply validating your code first. Improperly-formed XHTML/CSS will cause many a layout glitch. Build and test your CSS in the most advanced browser available before testing in others, not after.

Doing your whole site with MT. Matt Haughey has a great article on how he uses Movable Type to do it all (apparently, Kottke does too... can't wait to see his article). Anyhow, I wanted to share a tidbit in that vein. I've just set this up recently, and I'm in the process of moving the rest of my static content to use it. What I did: Created a new Movable Type blog and named it "bradchoate.com: Static Content". Deleted all the Index templates. So with this setup, instead of using your Index templates for your separate pages, they all become their own entry. You can do your individual file archive template any number of ways.

As promised, here’s a brief tutorial for MoveableType on combining regular weblog entries with quicklinks (basically, entries from two blogs each using a different template) into one column. (1/10/04 Update: I’ve also created a second tutorial that combines the entries in a different way, which I’m now using on this website) The assumption is that you have two weblogs set up in MT, one of which you use for short links.
In my “quicklink” weblog, I store the link’s description in the EntryTitle field, the URL in the EntryBody field, and any additional description in the EntryMore field (meaning, I have to use a different template than for my other blog). I’m also assuming that if you’re smart enough to try this, you know your way around MT Plugins, CSS, and inserting a chunk of text into page using PHP or SHTML, etc, so I won’t have to explain everything. Download and install the GlobalListings and MTCompare plugins. And there you have it. Like this: Like Loading... ShareThis. Liquid layouts - the easy way.
