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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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?”
Hey, hey friends and fiends! Over the weekend, we released some awesome new typography features aimed at discerning designers, typographers and marketers that we hope will take your Wufoo forms to the next level. For a quick overview of these new features in the Theme Designer, we created a quick little screencast to show them off.
We’ve been adding a ton of videos to Think Vitamin Membership so I though it’d be useful to give you all a list of all the videos you can watch for free.
We’re adding more videos every day to these courses (and adding more courses), so this is just the beginning.
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. It’s an important part of designing for the web, yet it’s often overlooked (even by me previously). Below are the 20 do’s and don’ts and in the comments section, you’re free to let us know of any of the items we might have missed.
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.

I apologize for the poor quality of this video. That's what I get for holding my camera sideways... DUH! I lost a lot of quality when I had to rotate the video. Also, my battery died (this was the encore) and so it cuts off before the very end. |
