Bricss: Simple responsive design test page →
bricss: There are some pretty complex testing tools for responsive designs out there. I even see people constantly resizing their browser window using on-screen rulers. The easiest approach to me is just a simple page with a bunch of iframes, like Matt Kersley’s test page. Because I always ended up… Something for @kersley to check out.

clientsfromhell: Client: My blog needs to have a picture that can easily be taken from Google images or other free sources. Me: Hate to break it to you, but you can’t legally use Google images for free photos. Client: Uh, yeah, you can.  Just right click and click “Save Image As…”  I shouldn’t have to tell you this. You’re supposed to be the graphic’s expert.
