John Oxton | 14 April 2006

Welcome to the box fresh Bite Size Standards. There’s not a lot of content here at the moment and we will probably still be tweaking a few things under the hood for a little while, but here it is!

Have a look around and leave your thoughts and ideas in the comments, if you feel so inclined.

Oh! and don’t forget to subscribe, we wouldn’t want you to miss anything.

About the Author

John Oxton is a web developer based in the Cotswolds (UK), a distinctly Hobbition-like part of the world. He began designing and developing websites in 1999. In 2006 he co-authored Blog Design Solutions, a Friends of Ed book about, well, solutions to designing blogs.

Though often found trying to distance himself from it, there seems to be no escaping the fact that joshuaink.com is his foul-mouthed mess and no one else’s. If asked by a potential client, though, he officially blogs at johnoxton.co.uk which he will get around to finishing one day soon-ish.

    This sit is a rockin’ cool idea. A real boon to those of us looking for bits of good web advice in simple articles. They appear to be oft-overlooked bits, too!
    Cheers, Luke

    Extremely nice! Everything about it is a “tutorial”: structure, code and design. Why did you decide on HTML 4 Strict instead of XHTML?

    hey you guys dont have an email address anywhere. the fonts int the bottom portion i think you are using lucide grandes or something, but anyway they are coming out jagged. here is a screen shot. when i increase my font size its fine, but on a regular size looks off.
