Dreamweaversavvy.com back up
We found the source of the error(s) and so now instead of pointing to the mirror site at http://fireweaver.com/, please feel to re-commerce linking directly to http://dreamweaversavvy.com/ (or any of its variants, including http://www.dreamweaversavvy.com/ http://dreamweaverfireworkssavvy.com/ and http://www.dreamweaverfireworkssavvy.com/). Phew!

Dreamweaversavvy.com down
Due to some DNS misconfiguration, dreamweaversavvy.com right now points to my host's site instead of to the correct location. To get to the website for my book Dreamweaver MX / Fireworks MX Savvy at this time, therefore, please point your browser at http://fireweaver.com instead.

I am trying to determine right now whether the problem is with my publisher (who maintains the domain name entry) or with my Apache server's httpd.conf file.

CSS toggle bookmarklet
Scot Hacker passes this along, saying: "Very cool bookmarklet for web developers—open this as a URL, then drag the bookmark icon to your toolbar":

javascript:i=0;if(document.styleSheets.length>0){cs=!document.styleSheets[0].disabled;for(i=0;i<document.styleSheets.length;i++)document.styleSheets[i].disabled=cs;};void(cs=true);.

Now you can toggle CSS on and off for any page (with any browser).

XHTML 2.0 to drop backward compatability
Catching up with Zeldman sent me off in six different directions, of course, but I especially enjoyed reading Web architecture | XML zone : The Web's future: XHTML 2.0 at IBM's developerWorks site.

The proposed changes to HTML (I mean XHTML) sounds like steps in the right direction (ditching presentational tags, rationalizing noncontaining tags, dropping img in favor of object, etc.). Reading about them gave me this little frisson of excitement I remember from first learning HTML. All that power at your fingertips, with conceptual clarity possible as well.

Nice review of 'Dreamweaver Savvy' at Web Teach
Keep them reviews coming! You work long and hard on a project like my last book (and there was a big team of people working on it with me) and then it goes out the door and it all starts to seem a bit like a dream. Oddly, reviews like this remind me of what I was trying to accomplish with that book:
[A]s a writer I would find it very challenging to write a book combining the use of two of Macromedia's complex software tools. Author Christian Crumlish met the challenge...

Dreamweaver MX Fireworks MX Savvy is aimed at users of all experience levels. ... Crumlish takes an approach that matches real-world work flow. This work-oriented approach starts in Dreamweaver with planning and setup, moves into Fireworks for graphic creation, and then back to Dreamweaver to build the site.
I wonder if Matt Brown got his review copy yet? No review on his blog yet.

Make your URLs human-guessable
Web addresses were never supposed to be human-readable. The fundamental hyperlinking concept of the Web is intended to mask the underlying Internet protocols and commands required to retrieve data. But the reality is that we see, store, type, copy, and paste URLs all the time (or else the "dotcom" meme would never have taken off), and we sometimes need to guess a URL by chopping, rewriting, or simply conjuring a possible address from the imagination.

So reality suggests that we create URLs that make as much sense to people as they do to databases and web servers. Jesse James Garrett writes about how to make your URLs user-friendly in an article at AdaptivePath.com:

Systems that don't take this user behavior into account pull the rug out from under users who have come to rely on readable URLs.
