Web Design

  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. Now I am excited

    I am a dork for getting so excited after reading a short blog post from David Baron. A bunch of nice selectors have been landed in the branch of Mozilla. They are :nth-child(), :nth-last-child(), :nth-of-type(), :nth-last-of-type() :first-of-type, :last-of-type, and :only-of-type.

  3. Grid Based Web Design Examples

    A good collection of inspirations forgrid based web designs. I have already been using several of them as grid inspiration as it relates to the work at my job.

  4. 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.
    But I just keep coming back to one single idea. It is centered around what the user is looking […]

  5. delete_post and deleted_post

    A little note for myself and anyone else. I have not tested this yet but hopefully I will soon.
    From my snooping, Wordpress 2.2.x has a new hook and has changed a hook. Before 2.2, the delete_post hook was called after the post was deleted. With 2.2, delete_post hook is call before the post is […]

  6. MySpacing with the Da Bay Deuce

    Is it beneficial to create a MySpace profile as a professional graphic designer (not a personal profile)? This was the question recently asked upon the Washington, DC AIGA listserv. The conversation was summed up well:
    It really seems that most of us are of the same opinion in that MySpace should not be used for […]

  7. From TypePad to WordPress with Slugs

    As this post is already fairly long in length, I did not go into every detail. Such as, I omit how to set your permalinks to match TypePad and how to make an MySQL query. I hope this post helps someone out there.
    Although WordPress has a built-in import feature for TypePad/Movable Type, it […]

  8. Playfully Positioning

    Play first and then read. Or, read first and then play. Or, read while you play. Or, just play.
    Since you are reading now, allow me to illustrate why you must play and not just read:
    “How do I make my text red and uppercase with style sheets?”
    “Simple, color: red and text-transform: uppercase.”
    “Wow, that sure is […]

  9. Add A Class Randomly From a Set

    I was recently asked by a friend for information about how to have a random background image. Well not completely random, the background image should be from a set of images. My idea: add a class, randomly from a set, to the body (or another element) with Javascript. I could just change the style […]

  10. HTML Level Up

    Not only does “Levels of HTML knowledge ” explain the steps of enlightenment with HTML, I think it is useful as a self-evaluation for web designer. Particularly if it was expanded into giving even additional information, this would be a truely valuable tool (which would have to be updated at least every six months). […]
