This is one of those things that I never knew: Correctly Using Titles With External Stylesheets.
Apparently, adding a title attribute to an external stylesheet link makes browsers consider it a preferred stylesheet and will exclude any other externally linked stylesheets. Leaving out the title attribute from the link simply defaults it to persistent status, the default. Interesting because it could conceivably result in styles not getting applied; I imagine that this has come up before or will come up in the future.

Useful looking bookmarklet that gives you access to a web page based grid and rulers, a point-to-point measurement tool, or crosshairs for gathering page coordinates: Allan Jardine | Design. Akin to the Web Developer’s Toolbar as far as usefulness for the web developer.

A resolution for a “This page contains both secure and nonsecure items” Security Information dialog box that pops up in IE (6, 7) for pages that include a Flash SWF object: Security Information error in Internet Explorer. In my case, it was related to calling the javascript for SWFObject from a non-https directory.
