IE6 Funeral

First there was the website that announced it, and now the funeral was actually held. I will totally send this to clients when they ask for an IE6 compliant site, telling them that they are using a dead(!) browser. Apparently Microsoft themselves sent flowers.

The Crazies online campaign round-up

Rating 3.00 out of 5

ogden marsh needs helpLast year District9 did it, in 2008 Batman Returns did it with their I believe in Harvey Dent campaign.

Now The Crazies are doing it. Though the site’s could maybe be considered a bit more low-key, the movie has created multiple small sites surrounding the core elements and players in their movie. I am really liking this 2.0 style of promoting movies.

The sites in question are:
-> Ogden Marsh Chamber of commerce
-> Dakon/Pendrill Chemical corporation (if anyone figures out the login please let me know)
-> Ogden Marsh Gazette Blog(spot) enriched with more links and videos and the obvious Twitter Feed
-> The Ogden Marsh Sheriff’s department (again with the login)
-> And finally the movies site itself off course.

Please rob me

please rob me

With Foursquare, Twitter and several other GPS driven social networks on the rise, this site tries to get peoples attention to the darker side that this constant voluntary online surveillance might lead to…

From the bbc

“The website is not a tool for burglary,” he said. “The point we’re getting at is that not long ago it was questionable to share your full name on the internet. We’ve gone past that point by 1,000 miles.”

The 10 commandments of Webdesign

Rating 4.00 out of 5

from cyberdesignz.com

  1. Know the purpose and goals of a website before starting to design, perhaps the audience.
  2. Plan the website layout according to the client’s perspective and interaction.
  3. Choose colors and color combination very carefully, go for browser safe colors.
  4. Keep the font style and size consistent throughout the website, maintain typography.
  5. Keep navigation and menu structure simple and clear, properly organized with sub-menus if any.
  6. Websites main header is the first impression, so make it stand out. Speak a bit louder.
  7. Divide content into sections and paragraphs using headings and bullets. This increases the content’s readability and impression.
  8. Use interesting images that compliment the website and integrate with its whole theme. Induce call to action.
  9. Each page of the website should have appropriate title and Meta tags to help rank well in search engines.
  10. Search box option is a must to help user find relevant information on the website.
