Greetings all,

This is the first official post of this blog open to the public. For those of you who don’t work at CNET, the scoop is that we’ve had this blog up for internal use for most of the year. After a bit of debate we decided that we’re doing things here that might be useful to others and decided to turn this thing on for the outside world.

This blog is mostly maintained and posted to by me - Aaron Newton. I’m a Product Manager at CNET for our “Redball” family of sites: News.com, CNET.com, and Download.com, and my roll here is rather broad, but as far as anyone reading this is concerned, I’m one of our Javascript/Ajax evangelists (yes, I’m stealing that title from Bill Scott).

This blog is focused on clientside technologies, mostly javascript but you’ll find some css and flash stuff here, too. I tend to rip off Ajaxian a lot, reposting here what they’ve posted with my own opinion. This blog is set up to email people when I post (I’m considering using feedburner), so a bunch of our developers subscribe. They don’t always have the time to go dig around on the internets for this stuff, so by reposting it here it goes out to them. If you’d like to get an email when I post, just drop your email address in the form over at the top of the nav.

Expect to see new stuff in the Library and Examples sections later this week.
