Website Designers and Webmasters

Yes, in the world of Website Designing, you must make sure your website looks the same in every major browser. This means having all major browsers available: IE6, IE7, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc. You may even want to go as far as checking it on the Netscape, MSN or AOL Browsers. (Although I recommend never downloading anything from AOL, as I’ve observed legal but slightly malicious coding from them.)

If you’re a PC guy, that means you’ll need to find a friend with a Mac to check your Safari websites. Also, since when you install Internet Explorer 7, it deletes, Internet Explorer 6, you’ll need to have two computers…. right? Wrong!

We can thank TrendoSoft for this beautiful program that will allow you to install multiple versions of IE on your PC!

Now your task bar can look like this:

And if you are using Internet Explorer, I recommend switching to Firefox for a even safer and user-friendly experience.

I’ve recently been transferring a website to a Linux Plesk Server. I’ve run into a couple problems, and I’ll be adding notes here on my blog.

.htaccess Notes:

If you have a line of “options” (ie. Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes), you should separate each option out into it’s own line. The .htaccess line should look like this:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Includes
