More of an essay than an article. Here I discuss the following Responsive Web Design mind-thoughts:

• You say adaptive, I say responsive. What's the difference?
• The Photoshop comp is dead? Long live the Photoshop comp? Why I will still use "out of browser" design tools
• Fixed on liquid-only? I argue the case for using fixed widths
• I like my phone more than you. Mobile or content first?

"Responsive Web Design". It's been around as a real thing for a couple of years or so now, and this year it's a hot topic of conversation in the web development community like never before. Everyone is going on about it. Everyone is doing it. It's sexy. If it was sex, it'd be sex in different positions, with the positions dependent on if you're in a stationery cupboard or not. Or something.

A quick overview of a method using Media Queries to deliver CSS to both iPhone and iPad only. It's also worth noting that the same method can be used, with a simple adaptation, to deliver CSS to everything except iPhone and iPad devices.

We are all excited about embracing and using both CSS3 and HTML5 in our day to day practice, but I'm finding that IE workarounds continue to be essential in order to get sign-off on client projects.

It is often the case that without them, sites wouldn't go live, and - therefore - all that CSS3 and HTML5 goodness doesn't get air time either. Bum right?

This is where I believe we are still very much in the midst of a "Hung Internet", and CSS3 and IE workarounds are a coalition. I thought that up all by myself you know.

I can tell your minds are hungry. Let my words nourish you. Actually that sounds a bit weird. Read this article in full. If you want to. Up to you. No pressure.
