Blog Update

With the new layout, the BLOG section of this site is no longer the mainpage. I still blog everyday, but I’d prefer to have my photos and social items features on the mainpage.

The blog is under content categories along the left. :) Thanks

Flavor Me

I’ve been mean­ing to give Flavors.me a try for a while and today I finally had a chance to play around with it.

flavorsme

Flavors.me is a ser­vice that lets you to cre­ate your own per­son­al­ized webpage, it gath­ers your con­tent from vari­ous social media sites and dis­plays it nicely and neatly in a one-pager.Now this isn’t some­thing new, there are plenty of ser­vices out there that offer the same func­tion­al­ity, how­ever, none of them offer a simplistic approach like flavors.me does.

My Flavors.me Page

Within minutes of cre­at­ing an account I was able to put together my own per­sonal cus­tom­ized webpage. The beau­ti­ful thing about is it’s easy of use. Basic­ally everything you need to do to cus­tom­ize your page is access­ible via a single panel. Within this panel you can select ser­vices you want to con­nect to, you can add a blurb about your­self, chose a lay­out you like, upload a back­ground image, set your color scheme and choose the typefaces you prefer.

It’s so simple and yet you have just the right options you need to cre­ate some­thing com­pel­ling.

What are you wait­ing for? Go give it a try.

  • Browser Jumping | CSS-Tricks

    When I say I’m a browser jumper, I really only mean those three. I’d love for Opera to join the party. It’s nice and fast. Its Dragonfly developer tool is fully capable, but it doesn’t support two of my crutch tools: XMarks and 1Password. When that day comes, I’ll switch to it at least for a while. I feel like for obvious reasons I don’t use Internet Explorer. It’s just not as good of a browser and I’m not willing to use it other than for testing. Not to mention, I’m on a Mac. Although I do test on it, using VMWare Fusion and a bunch of “Snapshots” where I keep Windows XP and Vista in different states of having native versions of IE 6/7/8/9.

  • User Experience Books for Beginners | UX Booth

    Although deserving of the praise it’s received, I thought it might be a touch unfair to only ever line Mr. Krug’s pockets, so I’ve put together this list of books by other authors just as deserving as Steve to give me a place to point people in the future.

    If you’re a seasoned UX professional, chances are you’ve heard of most of these books; in fact you’ve probably read, re-read, lost/sold/given-away, re-bought, and read them again just for old times’ sake, but hopefully there are a couple included that you may not have seen or considered reading before. If nothing else, it’ll act as the perfect place for you to direct people the next time they ask you the question: “apart from Don’t Make Me Think, what else is a good intro to UX?”

    In a previous article here on Web Design Ledger, I broke down 20 do’s and don’ts of effective web design and today I would like to keep up with that topic and go over 20 do’s and don’ts of effective web typography.

  • 30 of the Best Web Typography Resources Online

    It seems there are two camps among web designers: those who embrace web typography, experiment with it, and try new things in virtually all of their designs; and those who avoid it like the plague, opting to use standard, web-safe font stacks with little variation.

    It also seems like a lot of the designers who fall into the second group wish they were more like the first.

    The resources below can help you improve your web typography, regardless of which camp you fall into.

    There are tools for creating unique typography, references and articles that can teach you typographic principles, and plenty of inspiration and news to keep you updated on the state of web typography.
