Google Connect is fine as an add-on to your site's registration process, but definitely shouldn't be the only registration option. For example, I work on a niche social networking website, and we're going to at some point integrate Facebook Connect so visitors can register with their details in...

Exactly. I'd be happy to take any eCommerce work on ;)

Without trying to be offensive, I get the feeling you're not a website designer but more a graphic designer trying to get in on the web market. If so, there's nothing wrong with being a graphic designer. But for your portfolio, use an off-the-shelf theme as you will be judged on your website...

Google tailor search results depending on a plethora of criteria, including browser.

But like I say, if IE 6 is abolished then another browser will just fill it's place as being bottom of the pile for us to waste our hatred on. I'm sick of having to hate IE 6 just to be in the "cool gang". Yes, it is detrimental to modern web design and development practices, but it's there and...

I don't get why people waste so much energy on hating IE 6. Sure, it's terrible at rendering standard-complaint HTML and CSS, but I think it's a bit unfair to try and get it eradicated as then another browser will fall to the bottom of the list for us to hate. (ADMIN EDIT - Comment deleted.)
