site coming
... soon
Welcome to dusted.com
Introduction
Although not entirely sure which direction I'll be taking this site in, I can be pretty certain it won't be a website for a dusting service.
Dusted has many Urban Dictionary connotations and is thrown about in the design world and music industry, so I'll more than likely be going with an experimental coding and design site called, oddly enough, Dusted. For now though, this place-setter will have to suffice while I have a think about it. :)
Anyway, there's not much else here and I'll assume you're not here for a spell check on the word 'dusted', so here are a couple of dusted-related links that I like:
Design Notes
You'll have to forgive the lack-luster page appearance, but I've virtually given up trying to make web pages look acceptable in all browsers. It's simply not possible. Besides, these pages are merely place-setters until I can come up with something more permanent.
I have to say, there is nothing more deflating than producing a text-based web page in Safari, only to fire it up in IExplorer on Windows and see its poorly-conceived, text-rendering engine completely trash it.
The bottom line is, you'll never get a standard text-based, web page to look good through Windows IExplorer until they update their text rendering engine - period. I hear they'll be using Direct Write for IE9. About time. I hope it's an improvement.
Anyway, if you're using Windows, this page is best viewed through a Safari Browser with the Quartz Engine running. On a Mac, it shouldn't matter. Under all circumstances, high pixel density (ppi) is preferable. Text-based webpages simply don't look right on any other setup.
I've thrown this three-page wonder together from scatch pretty quickly. Give me a bit more time and I'll see if I can improve things.
