BANJAX Web Design, Belfast, Northern Ireland

It’s hard writing these “first post” posts. There’s a lot of performance anxiety, what’s my voice, my motivation…

Anyway, I hope you don’t mind that we didn’t include comments on this blog, that was my doing. I don’t really believe they serve a useful purpose, there are myriad other methods of commenting on anything we say here at Banjax in Twitter, Skype, email, carrier pigeon or even a more considered response on your own blog. I’ve changed my mind and I’ll add comments soon.

Also, please don’t be offended that we don’t use XHTML here, we hate neither web standards nor Zeldman. We just don’t believe in XHTML. 99.999% of the time what people sell as XHTML is actually HTML. If you’re not transporting your content text/html then it doesn’t matter what you say in the DOCTYPE or META, it’s plain ol’ HTML. And there’s nothing wrong with that at all, in fact, since it works in all browsers (ie. Internet Explorer) it’s a much better idea all round.

Anyway, I think I’ve set the bar low enough here for future blog posts from the people at Banjax (and guests!).

I hope you like our website and I hope we find the bugs before you do. :)

UPDATE: I know about the positioning bug in IE6 that causes the last two columns in this section to overlap; I’m working on it right now…
