The only known photo of the flatulent “stanspider”, whose gaseous emissions can kill animals many times its size….

How We Really Use the Web – article

jeffweir — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:41:08 +0000

I feel like this article should be titled “I Watched Jeff Surf the Web Today”.

This again rings back to the 1st article in this week’s reading. People don’t always use the web to find thorough information, they use it to find FAST information.

CSS Cheat Sheets article

Heck, yeah, I printed them out. They’ll be laminated by Wednesday. I’m considering having them tattooed on my forearms. OK, maybe not…

Killer Web Content article

Makes sense. One main reason I use the web is to get information quickly. Having to read a 30+ word headline to understand what an article is about doesn’t fit that “mould”… hah!

OLA Buildout, Attempt #3

jeffweir — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:07:02 +0000

I started over.

Link… http://bcts-potomac.aacc.edu/cat/cat20/ola_buildout3/design_weir_olabuildout_2.html

OK, I give up Dreamweaver…. you win…

Second attempt at the OLA buildout… http://bcts-potomac.aacc.edu/cat/cat20/ola_buildout2/ola_index.html

For the record, this page looks FLAWLESS inside Dreamweaver…. incomplete, yes, but still FLAWLESS.

Well, there you go. Not sure why he created navigation for “Another Page”, but titled the page “On The Rise”… there was a link in the sidebar for an “On The Rise” page… I don’t think that link auto-generated… did it?

Got a little confused on how he redefined the image element of the template. Helpful to see the “optional” and “repeated” regions, but I guess I would have liked to see how he used those in dependent pages. Maybe the next video?
