Rounded Images using JavaScript

SitePoint has an article on how to use JavaScript to create rounded corners for website content images. I’ve noticed that Burda uses this on their website for their gallery images. Neat little trick that can help not only minimize time spent in Photoshop/Fireworks, but also help preserve as much of the original content as possible for use in future redesigns.

Back to Drupal

I’m thinking about working with Drupal again, in the form of a personal web project journal. I want it to be web-based, so I can update and access it from any computer.

In the UNIX/Linux System Admin class I’m taking right now, the instructor starts off by stressing the importance of documentation and keeping good records on all projects. While I consider ExpressionEngine to be the ultimate content management system for the types of projects I do, I also think it would be good to have experience with an open source solution too. Obviously I would want this journal to be for my viewing purposes only. I was thinking of making a private weblog in my ExpressionEngine install for this purpose...but then again, I thought, why shouldn’t I use this opportunity to give Drupal another try? (I must not have enough going on in my life with interviewing for a full-time job, taking five classes, working on a freelance project, starting a relationship with a new boyfriend, and trying to find the time to sew a work-suitable wardrobe .)
