Most website owners now realize that, in order for their site to remain popular and successful, it needs to evolve. Exactly how it should evolve, however, isn’t always easy to determine.

Welcome!  As Chris and I have developed web sites and web applications over the years, we have stumbled across a different issue or problem that we had to figure out nearly every day.  As we’ve found the solutions to the problems – be it a way to fix a browser quirk or a way to to write a more efficient line of code, we always thought it would be nice to pass the solution along so that others would be able to benefit and not have to spend the time solving similar problems themselves.

So we’ve created this blog for that purpose – it’s our arena to post our solutions, thoughts and musings on anything and everything related to web development.  We hope one of our posts can help you!
