turning the premailer interface invisible

28-August 2009

[update: looks like premailer changed their interface a little,
which broke my domain-level meta-interface for it. I'll fix it sometime, just not now :(]

Premailer is a nifty ruby script that turns most of the css from external stylesheets and style blocks into inline css on each element. This is useful if you want to be sure that HTML e-mails will remain mostly in-tact in the viewer’s mail client.

It’s a great script, but the interface could be better… and by better, I mean invisible. … so I bought the domain inlinecss.com and made it work with premailer and your URLs. No interface required; just add .inlinecss.com after the TLD in the URL of the page that you want to inline, and the site will mirror the inlined version of your page.

For example, to inline google.com, turn http://google.com/ into http://google.com.inlinecss.com/

I need to take a vacation to Vermont and Spain

OK Cupid took it upon themselves to compile my dating profile into some nice maps of where my most compatible matches are. I’m surprised at the results.
Also, the state that I currently live in, New York, came in a close third in the domestic line-up, which strengthens my original argument for moving here.
