I’m taking a break from conference websites to confess one of my (many) bad web designer habits.<\/p>\n
I still hand-roll everything in vi. Which isn’t the bad habit, as most of what I do is heavily script-oriented. However last night I had to create a page in a hurry, and did my usual hand typing of<\/p>\n
<html><head><title>...<\/title><\/head><body>...<\/body><\/html><\/pre>\nwhich is adequate, but could be better. It also is time consuming when doing something urgent (Like a service outage page, in this case). I remembered a friend of mine used to keep a blank page template to make sure all his pages started life as valid documents.\u00a0 I think that’d be a useful habit to get into, and that this blog post may be a convenient place to keep it. I’ll update the template below if I get any good suggestions:<\/p>\n
