Our virtual presenter, Dan Cedarholm, provided a stellar presentation this past week. Thank you to Dennis for bringing Dan's work to our attention. A good time was had by all.

Chris Coyier will be presenting on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 on CSS Tips and Tricks. Chris' website css-tricks.com is a veritable feast of information on the topic. He's got a forum, training videos, freebies and snippets there for all comers. Chris promises to show us some of the ways he used CSS to build his own current website (http://chriscoyier.ne...) and entertain the questions of our group. This is a medium to advanced session (Chris can go at a pretty good clip) and he doesn't code in Dreamweaver, so we'll focus on his CSS skills. Chris is also a proficient user of Wordpress to deliver his xhtml/css in a content management system.

Please note: We will be meeting the THIRD TUESDAY of December, instead of our normally scheduled second Tuesday. That's December 15, folks. If you RSVP "YES," do your fellow attendees and I the favor of SHOWING UP. There are a number of you who RSVP "YES," but when the evening comes, we don't see your face. Give it your best shot folks! I know life brings unexpected changes, but please know that there is effort and planning that goes into these sessions and your presence makes a difference. There's my little hand slap to all you no shows out there :-).

We will be meeting at Boocoo Cultural Center, 1823 Church Street, Evanston 60201. There is a free parking lot across the street that belongs to Evanston Township High School that is open for our use. Otherwise, there should be ample street parking along Dodge Avenue or Church Street. Like any semi-urban area, there have been crime reports in this neighborhood in the past. There is no need to be unduly alarmed... just use good sense as you come and go to your car.

Mark your calendars for some interesting upcoming sessions. We have Marian Casey coming to talk about leveraging social networking sites in creating a web presence for clients in January. In February, we have a user testing expert, Lon Taylor coming. So stay tuned...

Please extend the courtesy of changing your RSVP if you decide not to come. This will make space for someone else.

I look forward to seeing you December 15.
