In this screencast I discuss online advertising. What it is, how it works, and why it isn't evil (except when it is). I talk about my experiences, the different services out there and the ones I use. Advertising is a symbiotic relationship between content websites and product/service websites. Goes with an accompanying article. …

The idea of "art directing" posts is very popular lately. It's the idea of applying unique styling to an article on the web in the way that print designers uniquely style articles for, say, a magazine. This is more than just a trend, it's just a good idea. In this screencast I show and example of doing this with WordPress and a specific plugin made for helping with this idea. Links from Video: The styled article Art Direction WordPress plugin …

I'm busy, you're busy, we're all busy trying to meet deadlines and get things done in this crazy web world. I love learning new technologies when I can, but I'm the first to admit that I reach for tools that I already know well because I can be instantly productive that way. jQuery is one of those tools for me. In this screencast I walk through a website where I used jQuery all over the place in different capacities to …

You'll have to forgive me here folks, this isn't a very constructive screencast. I was frustrated at the crappy checkout process for a software product I was trying, so I thought I'd screencast it as a lesson to us all on how not to design a checkout. It was confusing, frustrating, error-prone, and make me feel unsafe about even going through with the transaction. If you are designing a site to sell something online, nothing is more important to your …

We build a pretty typical image gallery design pattern, a grid of images that pop up larger when clicked. But this image gallery page makes use of hot semantic HTML5 markup, loads of visual treats with CSS3 and jQuery, and made editable through the CMS PageLime. Quick reminder, the demo is awesome-est in a WebKit browser (Safari or Chrome). Links from Video: View Demo Download Files PageLime FancyZoom Clear Fix HTML5 Shiv Blueprint …
In part 3 of this series, we take the HTML and CSS that we have already created for this design, and convert it into a WordPress theme. We start with a completely "blank" WordPress theme, then take different parts of the HTML and put them where they need to be in the theme. We are careful to keep as much dynamic WordPress stuff in there as possible, for example, dynamically creating the menu, loading jQuery the smart way, and more.…

In part 2 of this series, we begin the HTML/CSS conversion of the Photoshop mockup we created in part one. We start with a very skeletal project framework. Then we take a look at the Photoshop file layer organization. Then we start from the bottom up, creating the pieces we need from the Photoshop file and writing the HTML and CSS we need to get the job done. Much of the work isn't actually "slicing" the Photoshop file, but looking …
