CityDesk has a new flash demo online that shows off their latest publishing tool. They also made available a Starter Edition of CityDesk that allows you to publish a site with up to 50 pages free of charge. I haven’t yet installed CityDesk but I may knock it around a bit.


I found this info over at Joel on Software when I was reading his link to this tidbit from the CityDesk guys. It agrees with Jacob Nielsen’s recent font size article and goes on to defend it. I really should create a separate entry for this, but I’m choosing not to. I have to disagree with the guys over at CityDesk and their views on the <font> tag. Just because it works doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to use. Why not support standards and facilitate change from the grassroots? When Goliath comes along and makes a broken product does that mean every site should bend to their whim? No, proper use of CSS works just as well as the font tag but also facilitates the separation of content from presentation. Yes so does your proprietary content management system, but then again not everyone wants to be locked into one vendor with no options. Try and be a little more forward thinking would you.
