			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://beanstalkapp.com/" target="_blank">Beanstalk</a> provides private and secure hosting for version control platforms Subversion and Git. It&#8217;s great for collaborating on software and deploying to live via FTP/SFTP, removing the need for SSH access.</p>
<p>For deploying, the first step is to create your development environment.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Beanstalk" src="http://www.pinchhost.com/blog/images/beanstalk1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="182" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Beanstalk" src="http://www.pinchhost.com/blog/images/beanstalk2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="393" /></p>
<p>This simply consists of entering your FTP details.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Beanstalk" src="http://www.pinchhost.com/blog/images/beanstalk3.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="481" /></p>
<p>Once this is setup, you can then manually or automatically deploy to live.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.pinchhost.com/blog/images/beanstalk4.jpg" title="Beanstalk" class="alignnone" width="450" height="183" /></p>
<p>Select your revision and the transfer will go into a queue and should take just a few minutes.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://www.pinchhost.com/blog/images/beanstalk5.jpg" title="Beanstalk" class="alignnone" width="450" height="479" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When developing a website it&#8217;s important to keep <strong>all</strong> your users in mind. It was only a few years ago when large companies would display the message, &#8220;you must use Internet Explorer to view this website&#8221;, thankfully those days are long gone. Most businesses now work hard to give all their users a <strong>consistent experience</strong>.</p>
<p>One PinchHost customer found that <strong>20%</strong> of their visitors are using Internet Explorer 6, he was running the latest version of Internet Explorer, which at the time was version 7. Essentially his CSS was rendering adversely in IE6, the main content was pushed under the sidebar, presenting the page as primarily white space. He had therefore <strong>alienated</strong> over 20% of his <strong>visitors</strong>/<strong>potential customers</strong>. A lot of web designers refuse to make their website compatible with old technologies such as IE6. But the fact is, people are still using <strong>ancient</strong> browsers. If you&#8217;re running an e-commerce website, then you simply can&#8217;t afford to ignore these visitors.</p>
<p>There are simply too many browsers spread over multiple operating systems, all with long version histories. As a developer or website owner, you&#8217;d be mad to install everything internally for testing. Which is where <strong><a href="http://browsershots.org/" target="_blank">BrowserShots.org</a></strong> comes in handy. Enter your website address and choose from a range of browsers which have been installed on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and BSD.</p>
<p><img style="border: 1px solid #ccc;" src="http://www.pinchhost.com/blog/images/browsershots.gif" alt="BrowserShots.org" width="385" height="192" /></p>
<p>Processing usually takes around 30 minutes depending on the number of browsers you select. You&#8217;ll then be able to access your screenshots, quickly ascertaining which configurations are displaying abnormally.</p>
<p>The service even allows you to select a <strong>preferred</strong> screen resolution, allowing you to check your design on an <strong>800&#215;600</strong> resolution (among others), which although seemingly redundant, 800&#215;600 is still used by 4% of users according to <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp" target="_blank">W3Schools</a>. The Firefox extension <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1985" target="_blank">Window Resizer</a> is also useful for testing your site in standard resolutions.</p>
<p>Safari on the <strong>iPhone</strong> is gaining traction, you can preview your design with <strong><a href="http://marketcircle.com/iphoney/" target="_blank">iPhoney</a></strong>.</p>
