The cool browsers support radius corners, but Safari supports CSS transformations that allow developers to scale, skew, and rotate objects on the page like we’re used to doing in PostScript. And better than that, we can animate those transformations over time — all without any JavaScript.
Fire up Safari or Chrome and mouse over the examples here. [...]
Good work deserves compensation, but commercial themes are still unusual in the world of WordPress. The new themes directory has well over 200 free themes listed, and the old directory had thousands of them. Still, I like Thesis and f8. Actually, I like a bunch of themes from Graph Paper Press (get them all [...]
For the past year or so I’ve been wanting to design a non-bloggy theme for this site — a beautiful theme with a magazine-like front page showing the most recent post in a handful of categories. But I’m further from it now than last year, so it’s time to move on.

A member of the Web4lib mail list asked:
How do I create a semantic web site?
I know I have to use either RDF or OWL but do I use either of these to create a mark up language which I then use to create the web site or, with the semantic web do we move away [...]
.transparent_class {
opacity: 0.5; /* the standards compliant attribute that all browsers should recognize, but… */
filter:alpha(opacity=50); /* for IE */
-khtml-opacity: 0.5; /* for old Safari (1.x) */
-moz-opacity:0.5; /* for old skool Netscape Navigator */

I’m a WordPress Partisan, so I agree with Mark Ghosh’s criticism of this Wordpress vs Drupal Report. Still, it reminds me that I should point out XXLmag, SLAM Online, and Ford among the very non-bloggy sites built on WordPress.
