Upcoming Blog Changes
The BluDice blog will be going under some major changes during the upcoming month, including:
- Domain change to "davidwalsh.name"
- Added "Tools" section, where I will provide numerous Web Developer tools to allow you to compress your CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, and much more
- Custom design -- even I know the current one is awful
- Blog posts with images and in-depth examples (I've been holding off on some cool MooTools stuff for the new design)
- More personalized content -- the site wont be about my person life, but I plan to throw more of my own flavor into writing.
- More reader interaction. I'd like to do a "mailbag" post from time to time, where you can ask questions.
Do you have any requests or ideas for the blog? Please share them!

While I'm not a huge sIFR advocate I can understand its allure. A customer recently asked us to implement sIFR on their website but I ran into a problem: the sIFR headings wouldn't print because they were Flash objects. Here's how to fix...
![MooTools Zebra Tables Plugin]()
Tabular data can oftentimes be boring, but it doesn't need to look that way! With a small MooTools class, I can make tabular data extremely easy to read by implementing "zebra" tables -- tables with alternating row background colors.
The CSS
The above CSS is extremely basic.
