The purpose of the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center (OHRC) is to respond to the needs of states and communities in addressing current and emerging public oral health issues. OHRC supports health professionals, program administrators, educators, policymakers, and others with the goal of improving oral health services for infants, children, adolescents, and their families. The resource center collaborates with federal, state, and local agencies; national and state organizations and associations; and foundations to gather, develop, and share quality and valued information and materials.
I worked with a small team to redesign the existing site, incorporating a streamlined database and search engine, updating the graphical feel, and improving navigation and the user experience. Some of the new features include feedback forms and the ability to create custom bibliographies from your search results.

The Center translates research in healthy mental development into materials tailored to the needs of each of the target audiences, and makes them available on this website. In addition, the Center serves as an online “Community of Learners” a clearinghouse for the exchange of ideas through traditional and new media.

The Legal Issues in Health Reform blog is a forum for information, discussion and debate on the legal issues implicated in health reform, sponsored by Georgetown Law Center’s O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law.
My duties were to setup and customize the look of a simple WordPress based blog that could then be updated and maintained by multiple authors.

So I was working on a fairly simple site today, and it is looking mighty fine in Firefox and IE7 and Netscape and such, but then I saw it in IE6 and it was rubbish! Instead of having a fixed width and being centered horizontally in the browser, it filled the browser from edge to edge.
My first couple of attempts fixed the width problem, but it would always align itself right on the left edge.
Turns out IE6 is pretty quirky. A simple change to the DocType info fixed the problem and it all looks as it should now.
What I had (which was causing alignment problems in IE6):
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”iso-8859-1″?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en” lang=”en”>
<head>
…
What I have now (and works everywhere):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224″>

Jon Krech, founder and lead singer of the doom metal band Silver Cypher is a good friend of mine. We have worked together (not with music) on designs and web apps for several years now. He’s a great guy and you should check out the site and the music.
