.::8::. Bloggity Blogg Blog

so, after a certain amount of repetition, certain tags stay with you, i.e., <*a href="">link. and i imagine some coding will eventually be second nature. but in general how many details should i try to be committing to memory? syntax is crucial, but for some of the more nuanced/less common codes...is it ok to rely on references? memory doesn't/can't be our only resource right?

.::7::. Pet Shop

*pet shop site outline*

here's my homework! we used monika's wire frame as our site's layout.

.::3::. Komodo

hey mac people

apple's downloads site offers another text editor -komodo-. i've been playing around with it, so far i like it a lot. just fyi, in case text wrangler doesn't sit so well with your aesthetic predisposition. 

also, i was going to do a screen shot, but blogger doesn't support .tiff extensions, and grab automatically defaults to that kinda of file. any way around that, or some sort of multi-step reformatting method that works like a charm? in writing this, i realized i could just save the image apple used to show komodo instead of showing my browser window opened to it. but that doesn't solve the problem so much as give me a viable option.

.::2::. Wire Frame Fun




My first wire frame & why:
  • depending on the logo design, i wanted it to anchor the shop name on both sides
  • i hate when you have to click to get company contact info
  • unless there's a really big image on the left for design purposes, right panel navigation menus seem counter-intuitive to me
  • i tried to keep the most important info closer to the top [above the fold]
  • wanted to keep page relatively simple, not overloaded with information; so i wanted a general "animals" link dropped down to a second level navigation with list of specific animal links
  • tried to leave room for ads for the client to feature sales/new products but not front and center
