If your computer has more than 1 GB of RAM, you can take advantage of Photoshop’s Bigger Tiles Plug-In. This plug-in allows Photoshop to process image data in large chunks to reduce overall loading time and increase responsiveness. To do this, browse to Photoshop\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only\Extensions\Bigger Tiles folder and remove the ~ from the filename of ~Bigger Tiles.8BX so that the file name is “Bigger Tiles.8BX”. If photoshop is opened, restart Photoshop.

Steffen Rusitschka wanted a cross-browser text-overflow:ellipsis, so he created it and told us all about it via Ellipsis or “truncate with dots” via JavaScript.
You can see it in action, or download the code. The main ellipsis function:
JAVASCRIPT:
-
function ellipsis(e) {
-
var w = e.getWidth() – 10000;
-
var t = e.innerHTML;
-
e.innerHTML = "" + t + "";
-
e = e.down();
-
while (t.length> 0 && e.getWidth()>= w) {
-
t = t.substr(0, t.length – 1);
-
e.innerHTML = t + "…";
-
}
-
}

Olav Bjorkoy recently launched Blueprint CSS, a framework that takes typography into account.
Why did Olav create it?
After reading an article by Jeff Croft on frameworks for designers, I started looking at the existing CSS frameworks, trying to find one that was right for me.

Now there is a new version which is a major refactoring that simplifies working with the library and now works across all major browsers.

What the heck does that mean?
It means that you can include and display fragments of one HTML page in another without copying and pasting any content. For example, you could quote the second paragraph from another person's blog entry by embedding something like:
