How to create a vertical bar graph in html with just CSS and a table. Very cool technique. It appears that the data would all be accessible to a screenreader because it's basically a table.

Solutions for a CSS problem I was having with our team blog. Text following a blockquote was cut off on the left. Without a width on the blockquote, IE6 tries to treat the width as 100% plus padding. Putting a width of 80% on the blockquote seems to have fixed the issue. If everyone would just switch to Firefox, my life would be so much easier.

Great examples of side by side images demonstrating what someone with red-green colorblindness sees, by someone who is colorblind. Always good to keep in mind for designing--this is why accessibility guidelines against using color as the only indicator exist.
