Updated PeaceMaker Game Web Site

October 26th, 2006 by Andy

PeaceMaker GameWe’re excited to be working with the good folks at ImpactGames, makers of PeaceMaker — a simulation video game aimed at promoting constructive dialog about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

We just rewrote the PeaceMaker Game web site code, leaving the original ImpactGames graphic design intact, but giving the site a much needed boost in usability, accessibility, and search engine optimization. Check out the updated site at peacemakergame.com.

We hope to have more ImpactGames news to come in the near future!

Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox 2 Released

October 24th, 2006 by Andy

We posted a while back about the pending release of Internet Explorer 7, and what it will mean for us. Well as of last week, Internet Explorer 7 has been released to the public!

This is exciting news, as IE7 is a much more standards-compliant browser than IE6. (In other words, our sites actually look the way we want in IE7 without spending hours of hacking and guessing!) And as “web surfers” ourselves, IE7 is just an all around superior web browser. (It’s caught up with other browsers on features like tabbed browsing, integrated search and news feed capabilities.)

So if you’re an IE user, you might want to download IE7, or be looking for it to come your way automatically next month via Windows Update.

But this is also a good time to consider a web browser that’s been “better” for a long time now. IE users can thank browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Opera for making IE come to its senses!

Firefox 2 was just released today, and it looks pretty exciting. Give it a shot!
