How can you embed YouTube and still validate XHTML Strict?

Monday, April 26th, 2010

There are many places that will help you adjust the embed information from YouTube – however, if your site is XHTML Strict (like this one is) you will still not validate.
In swings Tools4Noobs to the rescue! They have many great resources in the Online Tools section.

I went through five or six different sites that altered the embed code before I found this. This was a VERY GOOD thing! I was pulling my hair out trying to make this work on my own.

My new favorite ActionScript/Flash book

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

If you had asked me last week what the best book for Actionscript 3.0 was, I would have said “Learning ActionScript 3.0″ from O’Reilly press.

I have totally changed my mind on that. I recently picked up “Foundation Flash CS4 for Designers” from friends of Ed press.
It is a fantastic book for Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3. It is not a beginning book but quite a good book for intermediate/advanced users. It’s comprehensive for all basic skills, which makes it a thick book. If you want a project-based book to work through for a few weeks – this is it!
