Have you heard of Mooo? Nope, it’s not Moo.com (but they do some brilliant digital printing work, and generally rock the box). Mooo (with three Os) is an Australian company that prints children’s products — decorative, interactive, practical and fun.
Mooo sent me some samples of their invitations, t-shirts, notecards, and a few other things, to check out what they’re like… I was very impressed! The designs vary in personality and style for all kinds of kids; all of them are really cute (or cool, if boys are too manly to be cute), and really well done. The print quality is very nice (and I mean nice! For example, the cards and invitations use lovely, smooth heavy card), and the final products are very professional.

Why DIY?
In my search for flash diffuser ideas I saw this comment:
I don’t get it. People spend thousands of dollars on their camera gear and then skip a few bucks on buying a decent flash diffuser and make one out of domestic waste instead? Brilliant.
I agree! Although back in the day I used up all my money buying the camera gear and didn’t have much left for accessories… in that case I think DIY is pretty justified. That particular forum conversation ended in jest and my inclination towards DIY wasn’t especially marred.

No really, I’m asking!
My web host
My first (and current) web host, NearlyFreeSpeech.net, was recommended to me by my husband when I moved from Blogger to WordPress. I didn’t really know anything about servers and hosting at the time, so I trusted my software engineer’s advice implicitly. He didn’t steer me wrong; I’ve found NSF.net to be reliable, affordable and communicable when there are any server problems.

When I redesigned kristarella.com I implemented a contents menu that you can see in top right corner of some posts and pages; mainly tutorial posts. This was part of my effort to make the site more navigable.
I’ve had a couple of questions about how I did that, so I’m going to answer them today. The menu itself is generated via jQuery. I chose to use javascript to implement the menu because that way the menu would only be generated when it is suitable to do so, and the variety of selectors in jQuery makes it simple to select the content needed.
