how do you set up an omoplata from bottom half guard?

Asked by Otto lai, a pretty cool guy from San Diego

Thanks for the random question of the month otto. For those few that are not into MMA or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) an omoplata is a shoulder lock applied with your legs. And half guard is the position between full guard and side mount or full mount when the fighter on the bottom has control of one leg. Enjoy.

Is there a definitive checklist for IE6 testing?

Asked by Jay Stonch a design student from San Diego

What conventional considerations are there for IE when designing a website?
I understand that there are box model differences, but is there, like, a “definitive checklist”
of things you need to adjust for when designing across browsers?

We dont have a “definitive checklist” for Internet Explorer and tend to squash bugs as we go

BUT before you even tackle the problems of IE6, remember to code using web standards and test early and often. Ensure you have valid code, javascript included. Also make sure you have a full, valid doctype.

But a checklist is probably a good idea so lets start building one.

Feature heavy CMS systems can intimidate clients who hesitate to learn and use them.
