Catching up on work
Hi Everybody! (Hi captain nick!)
So I didn’t get a chance to present much on Friday, but I have almost finished my blog. Its got a few things still undone, but its getting there. Heres what its supposed to look like:
and here is what it is:
http://blog.charleswaite.com
As you can see its a bit unfinished but I would welcom comments since its been a while since i’ve elicited them. Also anyone know how to get items in the menu? Do you have to manually edit the php, or is there some option in the admin pages?
On to the Open Source project:
So I’ve made contact with the devs and gotten some great feedback on what I had designed for them. Some were very valid criticisms and others seemed like more a personal preference by a the main guy on how he feels that the Average User would navigate and use the program. Either way, he’s gone ahead and implemented one of my suggestions already in the Subversion build of the program (which I unfortunately dont know how to get and build… Here is the message string for those who are interested:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2026429&forum_id=685966
Anyway kinda cool that the guy went ahead an integrated a UI change that I proposed and in an hour no less.
But thats it for the update. Let me know what you guys think of the website as its a still evolving work in progress.
Later

Brief: Archive page + Design your OS project
We are pretty close to the end of the semester (two weeks). For next week you will need to present your proposed design for the OS project you chose as your subject in this form:
- Show us a step-by-step user scenario in the existing system (if available)
- Show us your proposed step-by-step through a series of designs (Photoshop mockups)
This week will include mid-week deadlines:
- Continue your research of the community and its dynamics along the lines of the previous briefs
- By Monday night: Post one mockup presenting the main aspect of your design contribution.
- By Tuesday night, comment on every post made to the blog by your fellow students
- By Friday morning post the two user scenarios
- By Friday morning post a strategy of contacting the community with your proposed designs (we will try to make that contact in the following week)
- Through the week continue your theme like we have in the past couple of weeks. After the single.php page move to archive.php. Use the technique of reading the tags in the code, and then searching them in the outputted html through Firebug. That’s the best way to address the changes in the php files and to change the design through CSS. (and as always using the list helps)
Lots of work, the semester is almost done…
Happy Passover!
tv heaven so far
i’m having lots of trouble with the single page. it seem like there are so many different divs and containers that i have to search through.
however, the main page is done other than i want it to be centered. is there a way to do that other than adjusting margins?
Brief: Blog pages + interaction design report
We continue in the two fold development - blog theme + OSD project:
- Come up with proposals for change in the form of an information architecture and a set of proposals
- Make draft for the first email you’ll send the list/individual developers involved in the project
- Continue your research and comment on the process of design that has been done in the project so far.
And on the theming end - work on the singular.php page, try to finish it by next week.
And again, if you’re stuck, use the mailing list. If you learned a cool trick and want to share, use the mailing list. If somebody got stuck and you think you might be able to help, use the mailing list.
Enjoy.
