If you need to check how your site looks in multiple versions of a browser, in case you are using png images for example, here is where i got my info:
There are a few ways to do this,
1. partition your drive to run vista or windows 7 on one and xp on another.
2. use a virtual desktop: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/virtual-pc-2007.aspx
Once you determine how your going to run xp and vista or 7 on the same machine, you should get this to run multiple versions of ie easily.

PNG support for developers
I recently began using more and more .png images in my development. A client told me of a problem and I knew it was because of browser versions not supporting .png graphics but didnt know why. I even included a png fix javascript in my head to solve the issue...
The png fix that i used turned out to only fix png images that
were within an img tag. I was using png images as a background image.
Once again, i knew a fix existed already and i just had to find it.
Hope this helps you: http://jquery.andreaseberhard.de/pngFix/index.html
By the way this led to another problem...How can i test my site in previous versions of a browser? see this post for info.

How can i display blog content on a website? JSON?
I was designing a site recently where the client had a blog and was thinking that they would like the blog posts to appear on their website as they were update in blogger.
This seemed like something possible and that someone must have done before, and so with some research i found out how.
In solving my original problem, I found that we can use json to read and output whatever someone posts on a blog to a website. It works much the same way that you can read an xml file and output the contents to a website.
Here is how i used it and what i found:Using JSON in the Google Data Protocol

Welcome to my developer blog
I thought it was about time for me to start a blog. My goal is to document whenever I find something useful or interesting as far as web development goes and write about it, for anyone else who might be interested, to read and learn about.
I hope you enjoy my posts and leave comments because i would love to hear what you think.
