My newly designed website
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by and looking at my new blog and portfolio. It’s taken me a while to get it all together as I have been very busy.
So, a quick overview about who I am and what this website is. My name is Chris Burrows and I am a designer from Manchester specialising in web design. This website is basically a portfolio of work which I have done focusing on web design, illustration and branding. I will be updating my blog periodically with my opinions on things and also write updates on what’s happening in my life.
Have a look around and I hope you enjoy my work and website. Also, please subscribe to my RSS feed. My website renders as valid XHTML.
Things I find useful
So, I have decided to make a list of things which I find insanely useful for my Mac and which I use on a daily basis.
Firebug
“Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.”
I think Firebug is probably the best thing I have ever found in regards to web design or development. Without it, it was hard to see exactly what the DIV’s were doing on the page and how the stylesheet was controlling them. There are other Firefox add-ons similar to this, but nothing as good in my opinion.
