The Stubby Studios blog is finally working. I’ve been so busy with the Lutheran Foundation of Texas website and other projects that I haven’t been able to nurture Stubby Studios as needed.

Visit the portfolio page to see other examples of my work built with hand-coded XHTML and CSS.

Take a look around and feel free to leave a comment.

Check out the new trick at the-bests.net.

Change the entire layout of the page by selecting either of the new buttons provided at the top of the page. The technique was provided as open source back in 2001 by Paul Sowden in an article he wrote for A List Apart. Since then, the style switching technique has gone on to increase accessibility and fun across the Web.

You’ll also see the style switcher used on a site I am creating for Lutheran Foundation of Texas. Many of the visitors for LFOT’s website are not aware that modern browsers are capable of increasing default font sizes, so with the style switching JavaScript I was able to provide a feature allowing users to increase the font size with the touch of a button. The same feature has popped up on many government and college websites since the technique was presented in 2001. The new Lutheran Foundation of Texas site will go live in January and will be featured here at Stubby Studios as part of my portfolio.
