  1. Jens got a good amount of flak in his comments to the post. Does your opinion fall pretty much in that realm?

  2. i always found your link-share are good, but not today the CSS Gradients Demo is CRAP ! STUPID one ! did you try it ? did you view-source it ? it's damaging to the web-developer, especially those who are newbies.

  3. I feel I should apologise on three accounts.

    Firstly for mentioning I disagree with Jens about conditional comments without a proper explanation as to why. My views do fall in line pretty much with the comment by Anson.

    I would additionally add that although I firmly believe conditional comments to be better than writing code to deliberately exploit flaws in the browser, I have found conditional comments to make it harder to be disciplined in writing initially cross browser compliant code. It is too easy for inexperienced front end developers to rely on them when there are a number of best practices to avoid the need for hacks of any kind.

    My second apology regards the CSS gradients demo. I saw this and thought 'oooh does it generate the images' then I believe I got distracted and came back to it later having forgotten to thoroughly investigate it. It is an interesting experiment but not what I initially thought it was.

    Thirdly, Ive been really busy this week and as such the quality of my link posting (especially some in this set) has been lacking somewhat, Sorry.
