Un Author Box puo’ essere indispensabile quando ci si trova alle prese con blog dagli innumerevoli autori. E non si ha sempre il tempo e lo spazio per scrivere un breve resume dell’autore di quel tale post.
Ed ecco che ci viene in aiuto Chris Spooner con un semplicissimo procedimento per creare un Author Box alla fine di ogni post.

Che succede quando, con le migliori intenzioni, installate un font? Succede che tutto quello che e’ sotto quella classe viene visualizzato in maniera balorda..
Che succede quindi? Come eliminare il problema?
Armarsi di pazienza per capire se il problema e’ del browser (giacche’ IE ed Opera lo visualizzano benissimo) o se dipende dai fonts installati.. e se dipende dai fonts installati la risoluzione e’ semplice =)

Mi sono imbattuta in un discorso interessante riguardo a Thematic; come per Artisteer sono affascinata da tutto quello che riguarda il mondo dei temi per WordPress.
Ho ripreso il discorso in due parti di Fabio “marbio” Marasco, sul suo blog, ho scaricato e provato questo divertente e funzionale tool e ho tratto le mie conclusioni.. e le vostre?

A revamp is always a challenge, because you need to create (or to recreate) something much more close to the principal matter. Challenge is quite more difficult if time’s up and you have to melt three wordpress themes into one.
Then, finally, Oceanis is still online with major changes in its contents and image. Only one thing’s still the same: passion for sailing.

After a couple of years I felt the need to renew the Grotto Baldovana website; actually they asked me to and really quickly!
It’s basically a graphic site with few information, so my choice has fell onto a pure CSS website dedicated to the alimentary sector, with a special eye on easy navigation.

Dopo Laura.. ecco Elena. E meno male che sono figlie uniche di stessa madre, altrimenti ci sarebbe in giro una squadra di designers! L’intervista e’ irriverente, come al solito, per punzecchiare un po’ Elena e scoprire qualcosa in piu’ di lei, di questa Pia Devota al Webdesign che altro non sogna che andare in Giappone a vendere l’olio Santo della sorella.. In questi giorni fanno i saldi al Foxtown.. se non siete interessati, di corsa a leggere l’intervista!

Hands up if you don’t know Chris Coyier.
For those who raised up, know Chris in depth stay tuned here and read the following interview (it’s shorter and has no long company names to remember =).
I’ve asked Chris to answer a few questions, classic questions about who he is and what he does in life, continue reading.. the truth is out there!

Time to design a website.
Have you checked you bucket list yet?
I took inspiration from this article on Vandala Design to cast my own bucket list, with free and open source resources to build a web site from scratch.
Enjoy!

Then, there’s a new project to develop: the website of Arti Marziali Mendrisio.
Its old layout is clean and simple, it is perfect for the oriental discipline and art but we feel it’s a bit obsolete: it’s quite static (except for the dynamic scrolling menu) and it is hard and time costy to update page by page evertime there’s an incoming event.
So the ideas were mainly two:
1) revamp totally the website with more graphics and more content in order to be surfable and best appreciated by users, using low res graphics …

So often we need to make up some animations, some images rotating or a presentations that requires a bit of animation; Flash seems to be the only way but if you are, like me, a person who hates Flash (it’s indeed heavy sometimes) you’ll love this little tutorial on how to set up animated slides using JQuery.
What is JQuery anyway?
It’s a javascript library that allows you to have a whole serie of functions to be used in such easy way in every webpage without loosing time nor loosing appeal.
