Kevin,
I didn’t know how to get through to you so I thought I woul dtry this way. I am new to the mysql and PHP area and I bought your book Teach Yourself PHP & MYSQL The Easy Way – Everything was going fine until I tried to login to see the status; i get this:
mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘root’@'localhost’ failed
error: ‘Access denied for user ‘root’@'localhost’ ‘
Not sure where to go from here?

Kevin, I’m not sure if this is the particular podcast in which it occurred, but the discussion was centering on Firefox extensions, and someone asked you if you had ever built one. You mentioned that SitePoint has a couple handy extensions, including one that identifies unused CSS rules. It sounded as if the name was “Dusty Selectors”, but I probably misheard it. I searched the SitePoint Web site, looking for tools, and wasn’t able to find anything on this one or any others. Could you please post a link to point us all in the right direction? Thanks!

Anonymous,
The extension is Dust-Me Selectors.

Kevin, thanks for the link to the page. (By the way, on that page, “Edwards’” should instead read “Edwards’s”. As I’m sure you know, any term, including a proper name, is not made plural just because it ends in the letter ’s’.) I’m looking forward to trying out that Firefox extension. Thanks!
