Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.
(If you are looking for the Content is King post by Bill Gates it is here)
I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:
I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.
I’ve had issues recently with Outlook crashing when I shut it down. Initially I thought this was due to a rogue Outlook Addin (eg I’ve got Xobni, ClearContext, OutTwit and others installed). So I went through systematically getting rid of them. Put the problem persisted. Finally I found the issue was to do with the actual .ost file being corrupted. The way I discovered this was by...

Yes, it's officially supported. But I don't think it is installed by default – your installer still has to do that – however I may be wrong…

Not only does the download (a whopping 687 KB :-) include all the source code for the S2B1 controls, but also all the unit tests. Check out Brad’s post for other useful links as well. Like this one from Shawn Burke which gives a nice overview.

You’ve no doubt used SitePoint before. So I probably don’t need to tell you about their excellent CSS Reference. And it’d be silly to think you don’t also know about their freshly released HTML Reference. Great resources.

A quick note to promote the upcoming Sydney BarCamp (or more correctly: BarCampSydney), being held at the Uni of NSW on April 5 & 6. Don’t know what BarCamp is? No problem – here’s the details. ‘BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web...
Great to see more developer stuff coming out that focuses on (or at least highlights) the need for improving accessibility of web sites. This particular site (released a week or so ago) is Microsoft’s take on it. If this were to come from Google or Mozilla it would of course be praised for its progressiveness, but coming from Microsoft I wonder if people will label it as playing catchup...

We’ve been working on a new site for SBTUG. Check it out here. The new site is a Wiki and allows anyone to make changes (simple registration required). The aim over the coming months is to build into a much more community driven site (to date it has been static and updated by me once a month). But there’s so many smart, generous people in the group who have useful stuff to share that...
