See how your site looks in other browsers

A cool new utility has been created that allows you to see how your site looks in other browsers, without installing those browsers yourself. The only problem is that their public (non-pay) queue is pretty long, and you have to wait for a couple of weeks for your site to be visited. However, they will send you an email once your screenshots have be created which allows you to submit and forget!

Smart Choices

Looks like Smart Choices has redesigned their website. Unfortunately it doesn’t look very good in Firefox (it works fine in IE).

Smart Choices will be having their AGM tomorrow at the Innovation Centre which I will be attending.

Boutique site vs Portal

I’m having a philisophical discussion about what is better for an organization: a collection of small boutique websites, or a larger “portal” website. For example, should each event that an organization hosts have its own website, or should it be just under one corporate umbrella?

In the end, I think that it is all personal choice, mainly based on the controlling nature of the organization. If more centralizaed control is desired, then the single umbrella site is probably appropriate, while if less centralized control is desired the boutique site works.
