It's taken a while (see an earlier post), but I've finally found my perfect setup for developing locally on my Mac.
MAMP & VirtualHostX
MAMP is essential for developing locally on Mac. But with URLs like http://localhost/mysite, testing in a browser was a pain. Not anymore. A nifty little app called VirtualHostX makes setting up virtual hosts like http://mysite a snap. Goes with MAMP like peanut butter and jelly. (NOTE: VHX works with MAMP 1.8.4, but I couldn't get it working with MAMP 1.9.)

Why Use CSS?
Cascading style sheets (CSS) allow us to separate content from presentation.
- Saves time and money. It's easier to change one style sheet than, say, 20 font tags on every page of a 200 page web site.
- File sizes are smaller and load faster, saving more time, money and your users from frustration.
- Machines love it because...
I'm a diehard Mac and Firefox user, and if I were Queen of the Universe, everyone else would be, too. My royal aspirations aside, I realize that I have to take into consideration The Browser That Can't Be Named when developing a site. On average, about 58% of all people are still using some version of TBTCBN. At my place of employment, I'm sorry to say, that number is even higher—up to 68% of ASU's web visitors are poor, misguided souls. Because I develop locally on a Mac with MAMP, I don't test in TBTCBN as much or as often in the process as I should. Until now.
You'll probably seen this scene "re-subtitled" a bunch of different ways. This is the first time it's made me laugh out loud. Thanks to Nick Lewis for the link...and the chuckle over "Hitler Finds Out That Drupal 7 May Release Without Panels."
Happy New Year! In celebration of 2010 and my resolution to keep this blog up-to-date again, I decided to redo the place. I wanted a fresh new look to go with my fresh new posts. It's another Drupal Zen subtheme, and I'm calling it "Spare" because, well, it is.
I love the clean, classic look of minimalist design, and it's a perfect fit for another of my (intended) 2010 rallying cries--"Content is king!" With minimalism, there's no hiding behind a snazzy graphic. You've either got it or you don't. And if I don't, I'd certainly like to know about it.
