This is a great bit of information I came across recently which describes the default formating of elements in HTML4 – it came in handy for me today as I had a heading set up as H3 – but I wanted to change this to a span (for SEO purposes) without loosing the current formating. [...]

I have spent the last hour trying to work out why out of office would not work… Then I discovered that on Exchange 2003 it is turned of at the server for external addresses by default!

Just got a reply from aol postmaster and our exchange server has been removed from their blacklist. It has taken about 3 days. But they were helpfull – I must says it’s easier than getting removed from Yahoo’s blacklist!!

Read my review of the recently re-designed Visitphilly.com – A great example of Design and UX (User Experience) working together.
