http://ryanberg.net/blog/Thoughts on web design, online media, and Django development from Ryan Bergen-usWed, 22 May 2013 14:25:02 -0000http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ryanberg/blog/entries/~3/stVB2m77jRI/Since the launch of iOS 4, I've been nagged by the orientation lock toggle that shares screen space with the iPod controls in the multitasking menu. Why is this the one setting blessed with such prominent access? I don't doubt many iPhone users make frequent use of this feature, but I certainly don't. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2010/sep/15/better-iphone-settings-controls/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2010/sep/15/better-iphone-settings-controls/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ryanberg/blog/entries/~3/saz91XiHw7Q/Django JumpToAdmin displays links to admin change/delete/list pages when specified objects on a page are hovered over with the mouse. Once clicked, these links open the requested Django admin page in an iframe above the current page. Read on to see a screencast of the UI. http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/sep/10/introducing-django-jumptoadmin/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/sep/10/introducing-django-jumptoadmin/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ryanberg/blog/entries/~3/XjUUsn8GB8A/After launching a new site at work in which colors from a previous site weren't replaced in the stylesheet, I decided to find a way to reveal all the colors used in any .css file. When I couldn't find a way, I made one. So today I'm launching CSS Prism, a CSS color spectrum inspector http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/jul/27/introducing-css-prism-css-color-inspector/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/jul/27/introducing-css-prism-css-color-inspector/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ryanberg/blog/entries/~3/lXLtq8g_RV4/Earlier this week, the team at Scripps Interactive Newspaper Group launched a major newspaper website overhaul for the Evansville Courier & Press in Evansville, IN. This project has been brewing for almost a year, and has been a full-time responsibility for some of us for more than six months. Here are some of my favorite changes for readers http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/may/17/design-decisions-and-highlights-scripps-newest-loc/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/may/17/design-decisions-and-highlights-scripps-newest-loc/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ryanberg/blog/entries/~3/0UUx3Lj6rbc/While attempting to find the optimal width for designs targeted at users with screens 1280px and greater, Cameron Moll recently asked, "Is it time to move beyond 960?" I sure hope not. Do we really need the extra space? http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/apr/29/caution-wide-load/http://ryanberg.net/blog/2009/apr/29/caution-wide-load/
