Key feature in 5.1: Rendering thru multiple templates.

XML.COM cut me a new rear orifice today. OK I had it coming! I was feeling my Wheaties when I talked to the reporter. I stand properly chastized. Grovel grovel.

Jeff Willden writes: 'Have you looked at the site you pointed to using MSIE 4.0 for Macintosh? The text along the left column is about 8 inches tall! One word takes more screen space than I have. I opened the same page with Netscape and it's fine.'

Yes, I looked at it, and saw the same thing.

Jakob Nielsen explains why the XML.COM font looks odd in some browsers.

USA Today: Net stock frenzy recalls past binges.

Please help burn-in the banner ad feature (coming soon) in 5.1.2 or 3 or... It's quite simple, just a macro in a template served thru the website framework and a CGI to track and redirect the click-thrus.

Matt Dornquast surveyed lots of FTP clients for Windows and likes WebDrive the best. It maps an FTP site onto a virtual hard drive.

It would be cool to have a tool like HTML TIDY running in Frontier.

News.com: IBM lends Sun Java help. This is in the same area as the XML-RPC stuff we've been promoting. I sent an email yesterday to the PR contacts on the IBM-Sun press release pointing them to our page on XML-RPC and asking if we could collaborate to bridge our protocol with theirs. Connections are essential here. If anyone from Sun or IBM is reading this, let's work together.

I'm reading Burn Rate by Michael Wolff. It's hard to read. A babe among the Internet VCs. An exposure of a reality distortion field built of nothing but money.

MacInTouch: Henry Norr's MacWorld Expo report.

SJ Merc: Jodi Mardesich's MacWorld Expo report.

Today's Tish covers the daughter of Microsoft PR powerhouse Pam Edstrom.
