  1. Update on the Mojebus redesign

    Read the previous post for better insight. I will not make you wait so check out the latest update.
    There are three relative minor updates. I have fleshed out the text styling by adding list styles. I have adding extra white space between content and comments which causes the comments to move off my […]

  2. The start of Mojebus redesign

    It has been a year since I started thinking about redesigning my website. Finally I have started. I am going to try to do the redesign publicly as I can without having my site out of service. I have a few goals for the redesign.

    Evolve the current design. Instead of starting fresh, I am going […]

  3. When I look into your eyes

    I keep thinking about where I want to go next with this website. It will continue to be experimental and the content will be similar. But other than those two I am open to a new direction.

  7. Out of My Way: I’m Dragging 2

    A another idea based upon the earlier post.
    The Problem
    When dragging an item, the target is underneath (hence blocked) by a window, pallet, toolbar, etc.
    A Solution
    If a window can accept the draggable and the window below it can also accept it, then the top window can display a Hide button that is triggered not with clicking […]

  8. Out of My Way: I’m Dragging

    The Problem
    When dragging an item, the target is underneath (hence blocked) by a window, pallet, toolbar, etc.
    A Solution
    Any window (and such) that cannot accept (meaning your cursor changes to a circle with the cross through it when over) the draggable item will get out of the way. They can shrink, resize, move, or fade […]
