When we were getting ready to launch the LivableStreets website earlier this year, I ran into an odd renderbug which I’ve finally had time to write up. The issue I found was that Internet Explorer would cut off portions of an element when negative margins caused it to extend beyond its parent.

Our team uses Skitch a lot. It’s a pretty invaluable tool for communicating visual information – you can easily annotate screenshots or comps. There’s great communicative value in being able to point at something, and as a remote employee in my past two jobs, I can’t imagine ever collaborating on web work without it.

Skitch does a lot of things well, but one bit of polish which always pops out at new users is the “Click to Clipboard” functionality. Skitch provides lots of ways for you to share your images, and when you click in the appropriate field, the site copies all the data to your computer’s clipboard, and presents a nice confirmation that you’re ready to paste that elsewhere.
