I’ve finally switched over to the Wordp
ress website for MacConsulting. I’ve added the relevant links and static pages to replicate the old site. For now I’ll have a redirect to the blog page and see how that goes. Thanks and I look forward to filling it with items of interest as they happen.

Apple – HTML5
Very cool stuff and all in HTML 5 – bye bye Flash
Every new Apple mobile device and every new Mac — along with the latest version of Apple’s Safari web browser — supports web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. These web standards are open, reliable, highly secure, and efficient. They allow web designers and developers to create advanced graphics, typography, animations, and transitions. Standards aren’t add-ons to the web. They are the web. And you can start using them today.”

Mac blog editor MarsEdit 3 finally gains rich text editor
Posted with MarsEdit 3.0 – and quit th excellent tool
Mac blog editor MarsEdit 3 finally gains rich text editor: “
Fans of Red Sweater Software‘s blog publishing tool MarsEdit got a surprise Tuesday morning with the release of MarsEdit 3. The most significant update to the software is the addition of a rich text editor, though those who fiddle with the HTML for their blog posts got an updated syntax highlighter. A new media manager rounds out this solid update, one that the company hopes will attract new users and get old ones writing again.
According to Red Sweater founder and developer Daniel Jalkut, some of the features in MarsEdit 3 have been in the works for roughly 2.5 years—basically since MarsEdit 2 was released. Many of the enhancements in the new version respond to long-standing requests from users, Jalkut told Ars, particularly rich text editing. ‘Most of the [blog] Web interfaces and desktop competitors have a rich mode but, until now, MarsEdit has focused exclusively on HTML/markdown source,’ Jalkut said.

New website look and feel
In honor of the new Webpress blog MaccAmblings I’ve redesigned and updated my website  with a less stark look and feel. I may eventually adapt more and more of the site to WordPress as I continue to explore its capabilities but his should suffice for now.
As I am not a designer but a web developer, Â among other things, I am reminded of the bumper sticker an Internet consultant in the early 90s used to promote his feelings about the Internet: “Its the Content, Stupid.”
Rather than flaming, spinning logos my intent, from here forward, is to the quality of the information I share. Mixed with fun content, of course!
Stay tuned.
