You can use HTML templates with a CMS that has a blog function, such as MovableType, or build your own framework with blog functionality.

Use CSS for your colors, gradients, and shadows and then pass these values as variables.

Sounds like the definition of a source control repository. I use BeanStalk (svn and git support)

If you use Windows 7 and can’t afford an SSD drive, look into ReadyBoost (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/readyboost). Basically you can plug in an SD card or USB flash drive and Windows will cache frequently-used files there. It feels like an SSD for a fraction of the price. You can plug in up to eight 32GB devices for a total of 265GB of virtual memory (though at that point your laptop will look pretty silly, and the price is probably more than an SSD of that size).
So you can get a $400-500 laptop and a $50 32GB SD card and have pretty good performance.

Use Jquery browser detection:if (!$.browser.msie) { //checks if not IE Cufon.replace('.title', { hover: true }); } else if ($.browser.version.slice(0,1) !== "8") { // if IE, but not IE8 Cufon.replace('.title', { hover: true }); }
I would avoid $.browser, since it relies on useragent strings (which can be changed by the user), and since jQuery warns that this functionality may be removed from the core and placed in a plugin (at which time all code that relies on it will break). The conditional comment route is futureproof, as all current versions of IE support it, and every other browser will either support it or ignore it, so you’re covered either way.

Here is another way to do it:
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]><html class="ie6 ie"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]><html class="ie7 ie"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie8 ie"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]><html class="ie9 ie"><![endif]-->
<![if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><html><![endif]>
<!-- include jquery here for advanced selectors in cufon -->
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>Cufon.replace('.ie6 .title,.ie7 .title,.ie9 .title', { hover: true });</script>
</html>

<![if !(IE 8)]> <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.replace('.title', { hover: true });</script> <![endif]>This should display in every browser (e.g. Chrome, FF, Opera, Safari, IE6 ,7,9) except IE8Hi, Thanks for your help.
With your code, will display the same thing for IE8 .
I know what you mean, but I want to disable the cufon only for IE (Off for IE).
My code literally says “if the browser is not IE8 , parse the following” In IE8 , that script tag will not be parsed. For all other versions of IE, the expression is true, so the script tag will be parsed. For all other browsers that are not IE (and do not understand conditional comments), they will see the script tag and parse it. Note the difference between the following conditional comments:
<![if !(IE 8)]>I will show in every browser except IE8<![endif]>
and
<!--[if !(IE 8)]>I will show in every IE browser except IE8, other browsers just see a comment<![endif]-->

fillerspace saidI’m using grid service (gs). I’m not quite at that level where I need something more robust but I’m glad MT gives me the option to upgrade if I need to in the future.
To those of you with MediaTemple, what plan do you have? Grid-Service? Dedicated-Virtual?
Thanks! I’ve heard so many people saying great things about MT, but I never knew what plan they were raving about.

Sure you can do cool stuff wit html5 and canvas objects but it’s very difficult to make all effects backward compatible.
I think it’s acceptable if the cool stuff works on newer browsers (e.g. the latest versions of FireFox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer), and make sure it degrades gracefully on crappy browsers. There is the excanvas library for older versions of IE, and workarounds for pretty much everything else.
