Embedding an Ordnance Survey Map | Simon Whitehouse
"Lots of us will now have access to embed Ordnance Survey mapping into our blog posts. Just like I’ve done below, with the arrow pointing to Moseley Exchange. And to be honest it wasn’t too difficult to do."

The Death Of The Blog Post - Smashing Magazine
"Why has this trend of melding blog post and magazine article, the 'blogazine,' not caught on with the masses?" Probably because it takes an awful amount of work; I can't even make a coherent comment at this point on an article, preferring to link to a post. Consider how long it'd take if I had to design containers too...

the future is staring us in the face | tecznotes
"That's the line we use around the office whenever the subject of HTML and canvas comes up - we use Adobe Flash for most everything now, but we don't expect that situation to last forever. The work done by Mozilla on Gecko and Apple on WebKit is one possible future for online design and visualization, and it's turning slowly to face us right about now." Lots of good stuff in here.

Theming: It's here, it's live | The Official Posterous Posterous
Interesting: as well as a simple colour customisation UI, they also support Tumblr themes. "You can drop them right in, and they'll work. We don't support 100% of their blocks and elements, but all the basic ones will work out of the box."

Machine tag browsing | Adactio: Journal
A nice way of displaying machine tags, including reclaiming HTML tables (and with a nod to the Flickr machine tag browser; thanks). I'm not sure if I could make this work for the Flickr version; there are possibly too many namespaces. Still, maybe I'll try for the most popular ones.

I like rev="canonical" | 0xDECAFBAD
Les Orchard on the speed of rev-canonical's spread amongst the alpha geeks, the fact that it's not consumer ready yet, and... oh, just go and read it, ok? (I think I'm now also convinced by the choice of rev not rel="shortened" or similar, though.)

Web Inspector Redesign | Surfin’ Safari
The Safari built-in equivalent to Firebug gets more tweaks. The editable style rules, metrics and properties look good, as does the ability to search by CSS selectors. Looking forward to an official Safari 4 release (or indeed a new ADC beta). (It'd be nice to see in Chrome too...)

Subtraction: Oh Yeeaahh!
"designing for the Web with the typographic grid as my primary layout tool" I think of grids as being both horizontal and vertical, hence my annoyance with the ALA article title. This didn't feel right for me, but it's a good article.

A List Apart: Articles: Setting Type on the Web to a Baseline Grid
The new husk.org front page (which I still haven't got around to writing about, sigh, but it predates the article) uses a vertical rhythm of 16px. I wish this title didn't used the word "grid" for the concept, though.
