| A short film of Squeak and Lotty | Crazy! Another hit video of extra-cute puppies. Is there a way to stop it autoplaying when the page loads though? I wasn't quite ready but it started anyway. It also autoplays on the Preview… [view in situ] |
| Lotty and Dotty | Check the first puppy post Dunstan made, where he gave out the names: "We think: Squeak (girl), Dotty (girl), Lotty (girl), Patch (boy), and Scrap (boy)." About this post, I just want to say… [view in situ] |
| Poppy has puppies | What a cute photo at the top! Where did Poppy give birth? At home, or was she at a vet's? [view in situ] |

| Solving CSS problems for Mozilla Europe | The rounded corners demo is excellent. The only difference between the top version (using a container div) and the bottom version is that the green download paragraph doesn't stretch to fit the… [view in situ] |

| Die photos, die! | Dunstan, it's YOUR blog. Post whatever the hell you like! Who said it was a 'design articles only' site? I really enjoy the photos myself, they are always high-class. If you never posted another… [view in situ] |
| Small dog on Stinson Beach | Would it have been better taken in landscape format? [view in situ] |
| Photoblog navigation woes | Yes, using the browser's built-in navigation toolbar is a good idea. However, only Opera and Mozilla support this I think? Also many users turn off the toolbar to save screen space. My votes for… [view in situ] |
| Oi chihuahua | Looking at it again today, it looks better. I did my own version based on your colour original. Oddly it turned out much like yours. http://www.designdetector.com/foru… I didn't convert… [view in situ] |
Sorry, but I would prefer to see the colour original. The hand and the dog look like a montage due to the re-colouring. It just looks a tad 'wrong' to my eyes. (Sorry to criticise this photo, but I… [view in situ] |

| Diet Pepsi, the choice of Athlets | "Isn't this country called 'England' for a reason?" No, it's called Britain. "England" is a division of it. This link gives a clear definition: http://dictionary.reference.com/se… I… [view in situ] |

| Baseball pitcher at SBC Park | Dunstan, you've got to write that tutorial! I've just been to your photography portfolio and the two pictures of the guy diving into the swimming pool are just *perfect*! My guess is that you… [view in situ] |

| Redesign explained: time presentation | D'oh! My test code was using dates without leading zeros. Here's a better piece of code. If the date is less than 10, I've made it chop off the first character (which will be a zero). Adjust the… [view in situ] |
Finally tested my code. It works! http://www.designdetector.com/duns… Add this to the bottom of my code above to test it: $hour = 0; while ($hour < 24) {

Ah wait, I see Dunstan is pulling the date from his database, giving an example with a zero fronting it, eg: "08" for the hour. Well no problem there either. All you have to do is strip the zero… [view in situ] |

The array should work fine as PHP is able to handle 24-hour dates that do not use two-digits for numbers less than 10. Checking the page below, you can easily convert the unix timestamp (server's… [view in situ] |

| Redesign explained: tag transformations | It says on the blogged people list "(If you have Javascript enabled you can click the table headers to sort the data.)". Is this not working yet? It doesn't work for me. (Opera 7.53, Windows… [view in situ] |
Dunstan, I'd consider changing this line... "font: normal 98%/110% Courier, monospace;" ...to say "'Courier New', Courier" as just "Courier" on its own gives an ugly blocky font on Windows.… [view in situ] |

| Redesign explained: time presentation | I'd have used an array to store the time phrases and just referenced that. Something like this (untested): First, define each phrase: $ph1 = "the wee hours";

| Flexible floats | Man, this sucks. In Opera 7.23 on Windows XP, I see one column only of books, needing a lot of scrolling, and a complete waste of white space on the right. Why can't I have it like the first… [view in situ] |
| Retro: There ain’t no water in that there river | Maybe there ain’t no water in that there river, but there sure is plenty of writing talent on this page. I mean you Dunstan. Hey, maybe Jim was spot on. "You are an amazing individual did you… [view in situ] |
| CSS drop shadows, extended | "IE doesn't do :hover on anything except links..." This got me thinking. Maybe you could make the image a fake link? (Eg: just a hash in the href.) Then would it work for IE? If not, well… [view in situ] |

| Snow, by torchlight | The purple streaks actually look like figures. You could pass this off as photos of faeries. People might believe you. [view in situ] |

| How I got involved in web development | "A lot of (decidedly amateur) computer graphics" I take it this is a joke? When I first saw the graphics I could only think "So... much... talent...". Well I was thinking about your cool blog as… [view in situ] |
| Calendar girl | Great calendar design. Can I rip it off? :-) But what do the dice represent? I like the new design of her site more than the old one. She's cute too. Shame she's taken guys, eh? [view in situ] |
| Easy CSS drop shadows | Thanks for the link. The problem I see with your approach is that the shadows are cut cleanly at the bottom left and top right edges. To me this looks wrong, hence my smoother approach. There… [view in situ] |
