Smug geek makes mistake…

February 5, 2007 By Dan Thornton

That would be me, then…

I’ve spent years telling people they should tests everything in alternate browsers , on Mac and PC, and in various states of intoxication. So I felt particularly stupid today, when I attempted to show this blog to someone using IE6.
First, the URL made IE6 tried and download the site as a doc. This was due to me trying to insert code in the title, which worked fine in Firefox. Of course, discarding my own advice meant that I don’t think I’ve ever checked how the site looked in IE.
Hence why I’m only just discovered that my sidebar is permanently lodged at the bottom of all my content. Again, only in IE.

All suggestions point to a strange bit of code messing things up. Should be simple, if time consuming, to fix. In the meantime, please feel free to berate me for being a pillock. And normal service will be resumed shortly, in between reviews for Gamestyle and Strategy Informer.

Testing new systems…

January 29, 2007 By Dan Thornton

A quick post today, as an idea has just struck me…

If you’re explaining how to use a new system or work process, and you find yourself apologising for the complexity, or for anything that doesn’t make sense to the user… that’s probably a sign it’s not quite right.

And that includes the often overlooked Admin functionality…as well as the user experience…

Remember kids…always try and make it more simple to use than it is already.
