To Fill In or To Fill Out?

When dealing with forms, is “to fill in” more grammatically correct than “to fill out” or vice versa?

This isn’t exactly a big deal, but it’s something that plays on my mind when I’m wording any text I display above a form.

What do you normally use (if any)?

  • The Most Satisfaction?

    While I enjoy most aspects of creating a website, the one part I enjoy the most is creating the initial design. I love tinkering about in Photoshop trying different colours, fonts, filters, and the likes.

    I always feel good after I’ve completed a new design. I can’t say the same about coding. After I’m done coding a site/page I feel more relief than anything - relief that it’s done. But when I’m designing I’m always enthusiastic or excited. It’s a really nice feeling knowing you’ve created something new… fresh… never seen before.

    What part of creating or running a website gives you the most satisfaction (not including the monetary aspect)? Is it creating the design or coding the HTML/CSS afterwards? What about search engine marketing or writing the content?

  • Memory Upgrade

    My PC got a nice increase in RAM. From 256MB to 768MB. The difference is sweet

    I also purchased a 200GB HD while I was at it, but I’ve yet to install it.
