New from Evolt this morning: According to Gerry McGovern, hypertext links should be treated like traffic lights, and always use the same colors in a pre-established order: blue, followed by purple.

Also today, from the WebmasterBase, there's a new article about Building Cross-Platform Windowed Apps with PHP. This is a fun little article about using PHP-GTK to create apps that will run pretty much anywhere that PHP-GTK can (which is just about anywhere these days).
