DISCLAIMER: UX Judgements are harsh. Don’t get upset or defensive. Ignore them if you wish, but like Simon on American Idol, what I say hurts, but it’s true. The date picker in Google Analytics on the left is not obvious. The only way to make a custom range is to…
I have been a fan of http://www.Experts-exchange.com for a long time now. I registered in Sept 2003 and have earned 23,285 points. It is fulfilling to help people. I love that. And the whole structure is set up to easily ask questions and easily answer them. Recently (last year) they…
I was close with my prediction. Adam Carriker went one spot before the Jets pick. I have mixed feelings about the draft. They got decent players, who will most likely start. But they also gave up alot of picks to get them. Statistics show that that you as much of…
I accidentally crashed IE7. I narrowed down the code to be a CSS issue. It’s surprisingly simple and very annoying. Code: Crashes IE7 Link2 Is span not allow to self close? Lame.
Ok, I know I posted 10 minutes ago. But I have been looking at YouTube. WOW. There is some amazing stuff here. Look at these kickass athletes! The guy at the top in UNREAL! Less cool, but very clever. Did you know this was possible with a guitar? Cute, but Ethan…
Trying to upload my first YouTube and embed it here. Of course, the editor is not helping. Let’s see if this works. It’s an old video of Ethan Dancing to Happy Days.
Nice article on MSNBC about Joe Biden. Joe is the man! Too bad he hasn’t had any Joe-menutum. I fully support his viewpoint on Iraq. Here is a quote from the sentate floor. “History suggests only there’s only a couple … ways to keep together a country driven by sectarian…
I put the urchin.js file on commadot a month ago. It is a little file that tells Google everything that is happening on this page. It’s quite amazing actually. Really solid user interface. (Much better than AdWords) Great information. Nice use of Flash, where appropriate. Look at this image showing…
I am trying to switch to the technique of 1 giant icons file. I didn’t like the opacity filter for the disabled elements. I really wanted grayscale. So I had to use duplicate images. I made a grid on my image so that the math was easy. See image here. …
From the legendary Bill Mirbach: …. so here’s today’s high-value trivia question. this “website” http://www.sigsmarketingsecrets.com/, if you can call it that, sells product. navigation …. not. is there anything other than the straight down approach that would sell more stuff? in other words, could you redesign this copy approach (including,…
Great article about using concatenation of images. I have been doing this for a while. For me, a major trick is to make sure that the images still look good even though they might be of varying colors. I have been considering one giant “icons” image that has all of…
This problem is driving me nuts. http://www.commadot.com/jquery/simple.htm I want to make a yellow box with a red border. (Must be two divs). I want to be able to move the yellow box and change its size and still have the red border hug it tight. I asked Experts-Exchange and got…
I hope I answered all the questions correctly. 🙂 Speaking of Web Design. I had this minor problem. My code looks like: <body> <div style=”border: 1px solid red; display:inline; “> <span> <img src=”anyImage.jpg” mce_src=”anyImage.jpg” border=”0″ /> </span> </div> </body> What I don’t understand is why Firefox doesn’t display properly inline. It’s…
Well, that didn’t last long. I uninstalled Dreamweaver CS3. What a piece of garbage! Man, what the hell happened here? Macromedia (Adobe) bought a brilliant program from Nick Bradbury called Homesite. Then they proceeded to ignore Homesite and sue anyone who copied it’s innovative design. They they made Dreamweaver which…
