  New Layout, New UrbEx Photos 

  

  Whatcha think?

  Barring minor tweaks, My new layout is now done! Most all of it is a 3rd party theme, a first for me! But I chose to use it because I both learned a lot from modifying it, and because programmers always say don’t reinvent the wheel! I chose instead to modify a lot of the spacing and positioning, and add some little touches here and there.

  I like how much information it shows, hopefully it doesn’t look too cluttered. As Tufte says, information is the whole point so your design should focus on it and provide a high density without making it unusable. This isn’t exactly ultra dense, but does give you a quick glance at what I’m up to online, as well as focus mainly on the posts–the whole reason for this blog. (More …)

  My Accessibility: let me show it to you. 

  I really have to say that after only a few pages into Mark Pilgrim’s book Dive Into Accessibility, I find myself both laughing and feeling strongly for the fictitious characters he’s created to illustrate the need for, and problems presented by, accessability. Anybody that runs a website or blog should check it out. At the very least commit yourself to a couple of pages. Its a valuable use of your time.

  By the way, euicho.com is currently not section 508 compliant, but it will be very shortly. Its something I’ve been meaning to take care of. In the meantime, at least it does render very nicely in lynx.

    A few summers ago I worked for CCIDS on campus and one of my main responsibilities was updating their site for 508 compliance (this was right after it was mandated that any government funded entity have compliance). It’s actually exceptionally easy and I consider myself pretty unskilled at web design.

    My older brother works at an advertising firm and they have very special considerations around Christmastime…

  The Desktop – My New Layout 

  Well, I figured it was about time for a change. I’ve had the forest theme on here since I moved to the euicho.com domain, and frankly my website felt a little stale.

  Although I haven’t blogged about them much, some of you may know I have a somewhat-secret love affair with moleskines that has lasted for a few years now. Nothing quite compares to the feeling of undoing that elastic band, opening up to a fresh page, and writing down anything that comes to mind. One day when I was sketching website layouts in in my large moleskine I stepped back and realized that I needed to change my P.O.V.

    You do realize that I can’t read your site on the iPod touch or iPhone now, right? Kinda makes me crazy…

    Yeah, sorry about that, no scrollbar shows up, but if you use 2 fingers to scroll, it’ll scroll the entry text. Even though this isn’t a frame it treats it like one. Its really just a scrolling div.

    The page loads fine and I can zoom and read fine on my iPhone though, so that should be working.

    Anyway, I’m working on an iphone css as well so you can opt to read just the text, since the iPhone displays my rss feed as truncated even though it’s set to show the full text of the article.

    Scratch that, the new iphone theme is installed and iPhones AND iPod Touches should see it automatically. I’ll be tweaking it a bit to match up with this theme.

  Euicho.com Updates 

  I’ve implemented a couple of small updates to the site today. I had always assumed WordPress had a printing style it defaulted to if you tried to print a post, however if it did/does, it was lost when I converted my old theme to the new version. I got an email from a reader who was disappointed that he couldn’t print my tiddlywiki article. I was actually shocked to see how horribly his browser rendered the page for printing. The sidebar was running over the text and it was just illegible.

  A quick google search yielded a painless plugin to palliate my printing problem (sorry I couldn’t resist the alliteration). The WordPress Plugin Repository offered up the WP-Print plugin, which is available at lesterchan.net.
