		<title>TNG Event Map Details</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The personal details of our ancestors lives transform their genealogy into a family history.
In TNG, these details of biographical or historical interest can be added to the an individual person&#8217;s page through addition of custom event types.
From the Edit view of the person&#8217;s page, the administrator can create Events under &#8220;Other Events&#8221;. In the &#8220;Detail&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>At font-face</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230;last week I mentioned here that I love typography.
While Internet Explorer (IE) has supported the @font-face rule since v4.0. support was limited to embedded Open-Type fonts.  While restricting browser support to embedded Open-Type fonts put limits on it&#8217;s use, the method of  rendering a typeface on a web page by linking to a font file [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drop Cap delight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[alligraphy touches the soul. Or, at least it touches mine.  I&#8217;ve always found delight in the shapes of our language.  Alphabet glyphs were my first perception of art;  my earliest remembered recognition of creative beauty. As a child, I spent hours drawing letters after I&#8217;d first learned the alphabet.  I&#8217;d love to find time to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old Bookjacket Detective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Old bookjackets are a great resource for page layout inspiration.
The artwork is royalty free and examples are easily found in the public domain.
I ran across this one a while back and loved the simple landscape shapes of the tree near a cabin near which stands a cock crowing at the sunrise.
Peaceful and well-placed country elements gather [...]]]></description>

		<title>TNG Drop menus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Humans feel more comfortable when they know what to expect. They&#8217;re more relaxed within familiar surroundings. With a little planning it&#8217;s possible to make them feel right at Home on each and every page of a website. 
Drop menus exist by default in the upper right corner of most core TNG pages. These menus organize [...]]]></description>

		<title>TNG Page Layouts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A large part of my work consists of customizing genealogy websites powered by TNG.
While TNG is a powerful application for bringing one&#8217;s genealogy to the web, the display and layout of pages &#8220;out of the box&#8221; is somewhat outdated with respect to web standards. I&#8217;ve been using TNG since 2004 and the page layouts are [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;The TNG Two Minute Install&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TNGv7.1 release
The latest version of The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNGv7.1) was released today.
In the previous post I mentioned writing a series on modifications to the out-of-the-box installation so I created a new database and uploaded the files for this release.
This version includes an &#8220;Express Installation&#8221;. After FTP&#8217;ing all the files to the server, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Husing in the United States</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on a major project over at Husing.org.
I had free reign on the site, so chose to couple WordPress and TNG.
I used the incredible ThemeHybrid for the framework in WordPress and it&#8217;s a joy to work with.
Inspiration for the color scheme came a simple question to the owner, &#8220;What&#8217;s your favorite color?&#8221;.
Imagine my [...]]]></description>

		<title>TNGTarski</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m finishing up a project over at Koen Colpaert&#8220;s new &#8220;stamboom&#8221;.
Coen had asked me to work up a custom TNG layout to match WordPress &#8220;Tarski&#8221; theme.
The main WordPress page as rendered by the Tarski theme looks like this:

We skipped the TNG homepage and directed the &#8220;Genealogy&#8221; link to TNG&#8217;s surname page instead. I love the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tarski Default Color Palette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on styling TNG with the default WordPress Tarski theme.
Here&#8217;s the color palette from ColorZilla:
#e5cfd2 -mauve
#a8001c -red
#006a80 -turquoise
#cfe2e5 &#8211; sky blue
# 8fbf60 -lime green
# ece9d8 -concrete gray
One major issue was the default Tarski #wrapper 760px fixed width.
Because much of the data in TNG is laid out in tables, content rich pages need a minimum [...]]]></description>

		<title>TNG Color Scheme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My favorite FireFox plugin of all time, ColorZilla, now has the ability to analyze the colors of a web page and create a corresponding palette.
Here&#8217;s a sampling of out of the box color scheme for TNG  pages with default styles governed by genstyle.css:

I&#8217;m not sure what the rhyme or reason was for the choice of [...]]]></description>

This site was initially built with the Template 4 design included with TNG.

		<title>Country codes &#8211; ISO 3166 Standard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The benefit of following a standard is that everyone who uses it understands it&#8217;s definition.
Information sharing is enhanced when everyone is on the same page. Confusion is minimized when we don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel.
Symbols and codes are natural candidates for standardization because they represent larger entities in a compact form. When we compact [...]]]></description>
