Tips: Testing your site via different flavors of IE

Ever since becoming a developer, the browser that constantly tops my list of not-so-well-behaved always belonged to IE, especially IE6. And with new versions released every now and then, it's no wonder that a large chunk of development and QA time is spent on fixing those layout issues caused by quirky IE rendering.

A co-worker of mine stumbled upon this great tool that lets you view your site in various IE flavors starting with IE6 down to the current trend they call IE8.

I haven't had the opportunity yet to sample this tool, but if any of you already did, please leave a comment.

Tips: How to insert code snippets on Blogger

I tried searching for an available plugin I could use in Blogger that would enable me to insert code snippets here and there on my posts. As opposed to other blogs where I can just insert <code>, Blogger doesn't seem to have something available for this purpose. Good thing I found Alex Gorbatchev's SyntaxHighligher which seems to be what I was looking for. I searched a bit more and found a comprehensive HOW-TO on adding this functionality in my blogger account.

That easy and you can now insert code snippets within your post. For the actual usage guide, you can visit at this link and for a list of available languages supported for syntaxhighlighting, feel free to browse directly here.
