		<description><![CDATA[The fight for browser compliance continues. But the time is coming; adii's (nearly) onboard. IE6, your days are numbered.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I wrote about <a title="The original war" href="http://www.dawnprofies.com/news/fighting-for-browser-compliance-litmus-vs-pushup" target="_blank">an IE6 battle featuring Litmus and PushUp</a>. It&#8217;s a war that divides the web with very valid arguments on both sides. Should we continue supporting the out-dated IE6 browser..? Or should we drop IE6 support and turn the onus of &#8220;updatedness&#8221; from web designers to Internet users..?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-81" title="adii" src="http://www.dawnprofies.com/wp-content/uploads/adii.jpg" alt="adii - Wordpress Rockstar" width="600" height="322" /></p>
<p>As it stands, web designers and developers are forced to spend time and money to ensure websites work properly inside IE6. Hello people, and corporates, IE6 was outdated more than 2 years ago for the improved (and free) IE7. So why won&#8217;t you upgrade..?</p>
<p>After reading <a title="What will adii do..?" href="http://www.adii.co.za/2008/07/06/should-i-could-i-drop-ie6/" target="_blank">adii&#8217;s IE6 support delima</a>, I can see the time is coming; IE6, your days are numbered. The fact that high profile web wizards like adii are even suggesting a total drop of support for IE6, could kick start a global revolution for the immediate end to all IE6 support.</p>
<p>And how cool would be..?</p>
<p>The little people, we small time designers &amp; developers who spend our time and money fixing Microsoft poor workmanship, revolting on a global scale, to speed up the inevitable end of a browser that&#8217;s way past its expiry date.</p>
<p>We should do it.<br />
Someone start something.  (or has someone already..?)<br />
Spread the word from here.  (digg, reddit &amp; sphinn this story)<br />
Something will happen.  (and we can all rejoice)</p>
<p>RIP IE6.  (that could be our campaign name..?)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I already posted about <a title="SEO with Hobo" href="http://www.dawnprofies.com/news/seo-your-own-website-with-hobo" target="_blank">Hobo&#8217;s free SEO advice</a>. But July is over, and <a title="SEO with Hobo" href="http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/seo-blog/index.php/diy-seo/" target="_blank">now the entire SEO  package is available</a> for everyone&#8217;s own website benefit.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47" title="hobo" src="http://www.dawnprofies.com/wp-content/uploads/hobo.jpg" alt="Hobo Expert SEO Advice" width="489" height="152" /></p>
<p>There are 26 articles packed with expert, onsite SEO advice. The advice is easy to read and easier than you might think to implement. This really is a thorough beginner-to-intermediate guide that will enable you to twist and tweak your own website to an SEO level that WILL reap rewards.</p>
<p>While you&#8217;re at <a title="Hobo Homepage" href="http://www.hobo-web.co.uk" target="_blank">hobo-web.co.uk</a>, do yourself a favour and sign-up for their email newsletter or RSS feed. Hobo are in the &#8220;must read&#8221; list or our gReader and we&#8217;re disappointed any day of the week when they don&#8217;t have new news. That&#8217;s a true sign of quality content.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d be very interested to know the client value of this content..? So Hobo, If you read this, how much would the industry standard price be to implement your SEO steps to a website..? (I&#8217;m asking purely to gain a worth of your content to anyone reading this post. I imagine when people understand the monetry value of your articles, they will pay even closer attention to the content).</p>
<p>So thanks again Hobo &#8211; a job very well done, and much appreciated by us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We (heart) <a title="Freelance Switch Webiste" href="http://freelanceswitch.com" target="_blank">Freelance Switch</a>. They&#8217;re an awesome resource for all things freelance, and they&#8217;re a part of the very impressive <a title="eden.cc" href="http://eden.cc/company/" target="_blank">eden network of websites</a>. So we fell off our chairs when we read their recent post about <a title="No more RSS?" href="http://freelanceswitch.com/productivity/info-whelmed-should-you-declare-rss-bankruptcy/" target="_blank">declaring RSS bankruptcy</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59" title="freelance-switch" src="http://www.dawnprofies.com/wp-content/uploads/freelance-switch.jpg" alt="Freelance Switch" width="500" height="254" /></p>
<p>Yes RSS can be both addictive and time consuming. But we say it&#8217;s worth its weight in gold(en information).  It&#8217;s impossible to put a price on the free, targeted, expert advice we get from our daily RSS dose. And we&#8217;re not just talking free advice, we&#8217;re also talking product &amp; service reviews, images &amp; icon sets, plus the latest industry news.</p>
<p>You name it, and it gets delivered straight to us, <a title="Google Reader Timestamp" href="http://www.googletutor.com/2008/01/25/google-readers-new-timestamp-feature/" target="_blank">almost instantaneously</a>, 100% free, less the unobtustrusive email bombardment. The time and money we save through RSSing far outweigh the time costs we spend in skimming our beloved <a title="Google Reader" href="http://www.google.com/reader" target="_blank">gReader</a> every day.</p>
<p>We do admit that you need to keep an eye on your RSS &#8220;balance&#8221;. If you see feeds that are &#8220;costing&#8221; you time but returning you nothing, delete them. You need to constantly &#8220;balance&#8221; your RSS books.</p>
<p>Good RSS feeds give incredible returns. So if you&#8217;re a freelancer at any level, DO NOT declare RSS bankruptcy. Just stop wasting your time with &#8220;expensive&#8221; feeds, and make sure you subscribe to <a title="dawnprofies RSS feed" href="http://www.dawnprofies.com/feed/rss" target="_self">free, invaluable feeds like ours</a> and Freelance Switch&#8217;s.</p>
