Using Gmail Offline with Google Apps

Posted by on Oct 29, 2009 in Blog | 1 comment

If you’re like me you have your domain names mapped to Gmail using Google Apps.  This is a really cool thing to do if you’ve not done it btw.  If you’re like me two times over you’ve noticed that the “Offline” feature in Gmail has quit working as of late… or isn’t working at all if you’re just now trying to activate it. Sure, you can go into...

What is a <div> tag?

This was fine to do, in theory, but every time they added the code their site would “break” and everything would look out of place. Images would go on top of each other and columns wouldn’t be in the right places. After looking at the provided code...
