Hey there,

This is our first week of news roundups, and Wednesdays are our “Web Development & Business” day. We’d love to promote you and your finds, so please send them to Keir and me at news@thinkvitamin.com!

Some links are newsworthy and others just meet our “awesomeness” requirement, and regardless we think you’ll enjoy them.  Let’s get our code on:

• Issue tracking the good & the awful (a cranky web dev you’ve probably heard of . . . @iamcal)
• When can I use . . . Compatibility tables for features in HTML5, CSS3, SVG and other upcoming web technologies (via Chris Wilson of Microsoft)
• Harry’s 19 and self taught, but don’t let that fool you, he’s become a must-read on Twitter CSS Wizardry
• Devs love great design too, a visual record of beautiful software (via Well Placed Pixels)
• Cracking down on China continues, Go-Daddy To Stop Offering China’s .CN Addresses (via TechDailyDose)
