Hello, incredibly intelligent and long-suffering readers! You may have noticed that there are a few posts lately that A) have comments turned off, and B) go to another site if you click on ’em.

I design forms in Photoshop for all sorts of reasons, but drag & drop is number one. Avoiding code until I’m ready is number two. The harder something is to change, the less likely you are to change it. So when I’m still in the design process, I keep it fast & loose. (That’s part […]
