2 Pass-it-on wordpress plugins Wordpress (4)

I can’t stand to read a big, long article on a computer screen. This, combined with my printer that devours SIX (6) Fifteen Dollar ($15) Ink Cartridges every couple months or so, is the reason that I have to eat belly lint and Ramen noodles for dinner every night.
On a related note, it’s a [...]

Good site design:book by its cover Good Advertising, Wordpress (5)

A little while ago, I found a good article highlighting 25 Minimalist Blog Designs. Here’s one that didn’t make the list, but should’ve. Book By Its Cover, run by Julia Rothman, is a beautifully designed blog that reviews books on art and design with occasional author interviews.
Gee, two columns, justified to the left, [...]

Great design: music video Good Advertising (2)

Man, I wish I had paid more attention in high school Spanish. Actually, it’s cool to see a work like this in a language I don’t understand, because it really separates design from content. Notice how you can tell smart and funny things are happening, even if you can’t tell what they’re saying?
For the [...]

21 “free” photo galleries Web Design (8)

I’ll give you a hint: you already have these photo galleries included in your dirty, stolen completely legal copy of Photoshop CS2. These galleries give you a way of easily making web pages that hold lots of thumbnail photos, each linking to a full size version of the image.
We’ve been looking for a good [...]

Internet explorer is a jerk: css hacks Web Design (15)

Internet Explorer 6 is a jerk. It’s one of the first things I discovered upon coming to web design from the video world. Video production has its weirdness, but once you render something, you don’t have to worry about people’s TVs changing your font sizes or column alignments behind your back.
Anyway, I’ve been looking [...]

stick it to the robots: email munging Web Design (4)

I’ve always been reluctant to use my actual e-mail address on a webpage because of all those stories about evil robots that scour the Inter-puters for the ‘@’ symbol and want to sign me up for a lifetime of male enhancement or low-interest mortgages.
On the other hand, I like it when sites include the [...]

On getting punched in the face whilst eating Design (0)

In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the best three minutes of TV this year. It’s the SNL Digital Short where Andy Samberg punches people in the face right before they take a bite of food.

I love a lot of things about this video:

Stop complaining. Start kvetching. Wordpress (1)

This one’s for those of us who like Yiddish, complaining, and complaining in Yiddish about crap we don’t like. I have nothing bad to say about Wordpress (although I haven’t been using it that long), but I just found an interactive kvetching feature that not only lets you bitch about a Wordpress-related problem, you can [...]

the internet’s broke Open Source Reviews (0)

We’re a little slow getting our Open-Source reviews off the ground, due to a problem with our Godaddy Hosting Account that won’t let us make any new MySQL databases. I don’t know what the crap that means, but it means we can’t install any new programs on the server until it gets fixed. They do [...]

i heart the Internet Web Design (0)

I made my first-ever blog post last week–the one about ways to embed a form on a webpage. I talked for a while about Zoho Creator, which is a cool system for taking form data and putting it into an online database. It really does kick ass, but I wondered whether a company [...]

Open Source Reviews - Before You Complain Open Source Reviews (0)

So here’s the disclaimer for our new Open-Source Reviews section, where we make some first-impression comments on open-source web design applications:

2 good and 1 sorta crappy way to add forms to your website Web Design (2)

There’s a bunch of ways to add forms to your site, and some of them don’t even suck or cost money. In general, all the methods allow you to create a form with fields (name, e-mail, etc.) and when a visitor types data into the fields and hits the ’send’ button, you get an e-mail [...]
