Blogging on Wordpress 2.5 (-5 teeth)
Things are looking slicker (but probably less familiar) in the backend. Wordpress came up with a new version (which I LOVE!) (I hope you do to). Here’s a screencast that might help you adjust:

posting help…again…but different.
Hey, everyone! I finally get this site down with Homer’s and it changes on me. I don’t know if it’s just me, but our class site looks and works differently. When trying to attach my comedy club widget stuff, it’s not coming up. The only thing I can get across now is text like this. Anyone have any guidance as to what I should be doing?!

No tag for this post.Brief: Widget Design Bonanza!
For next week design your widget to the last bit, we will be concluding this assignment the week after and already start our final, so I would like you to get your widget as close to final stage as possible. To do that, you are going to have a two tier assignment next week (claps):
By Tomorrow, March 29th, noon:
- Write comments on your wireframe and first designs posts summing the feedback you got in class. (please write comments, not individual posts so we keep things in context)
- Post at least three more comments to two of your fellow students.
By Tuesday, April 1st, noon:
- Submit a fixed wireframe for your widget based on the feedback you got in class.
- Submit the fixed design for the default state of your widget - i.e. before any user interaction. Again, the design should have a specific size (pixel ration, like 300×250px for ex.) based on the environment it’s in (mobile phone, dashboard, Facebook…). Present the design in context - meaning on a screenshot or an image of the environment it’s designed for.
By Wednesday, April 2nd, noon:
- Post at least 4 comments to your fellow students on the design they posted.
- And drop by to see my § presentation at Dorkbot that night.
By Thursday, April 3rd, 8pm:
- Post a fixed default state + the rest of the design interaction for your widget. (by Friday next week your widget should be ready for pre-final critique).
Enjoy.
widget - first draft

I have the wireframes as png for I realized that I designed the widget in original size and a pdf was making them look pixelated! Anyway, here they are:
And here is the widget’s default state- with indications of it functioning- green is for searches found and the darker orange indicates articles in queue:
widget wire frame
So, I think my music widget may be like a music magazine, in that it presents information as well as allowing you to search for music using certain criteria. Obviously, the benefit of being a web application is that it allows you to search a lot of information and you can listen to the music you search for right away.
Not really sure how I want this to lay out, but here are some initial wire frames - it may change in the future.Also, tried saving these as pdf’s, but then they don’t show up.
and as you can tell, my post is a little jacked up. nit sure what went haywire this time.
What the Font?! - Widget
Here is my first version of my widget. Pretty simple and self explanatory. Other than the help files i don’t know what else the widget needs. Let me know your thoughts.
Parco - Final
