Re: [IxDA Discuss] Fireworks Symbols for UI elements
I believe there are several sets of such symbols in Common Library, at least in CS4. Just bring it up via Window command and you ll find them there. As for sketchy look - I couldn't find existing ones so I just created my own for recent project. It's really easy to do, just draw it and then choose charcoal style for lines.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] URL Guidelines
Marianne, For your question, I would ask why your short URLs cannot be made more descriptive. Instead of about-us.aspx, why not about-insert-name-of-company-here).aspx? It can be part of guidelines and users certainly can do it. However I'm believer that the if there is way to make URL shorter while keeping it descriptive - the better. Imagine sending SMS to your friend with URL like http://www.clear-solutions.com/about-clear-solutions/ instead of http://www.clear-solutions.com/about/ It's not a big deal I guess but sometimes it can result in more troubles for visitors. -- Maxim Soloviev Director of Product Development www.nakea.net Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

[IxDA Discuss] URL Guidelines
Hi guys, We work on CMS product and one of the discussions right now is about best way to use Page Title to compose it's default URL (users can change it though). Everyone agrees that using dashes in URLs to separate words is a good thing. So page with title Help us fight breast cancer will get by default URL help-us-fight-breast-cancer. What we are debating about is what to do with short page titles, for example Our Team, About Us etc. Should it be 1. our-team, about-us for consistency purposes OR 2. ourteam, aboutus We will certainly educate customers that it's better to use about in URL instead of about-us (for example) but we want to make sure that defaults we provide are good enough.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] URL Guidelines
Greg, I think underscore can cause problems when URL is highlighted. Because of usual text-decoration:underline applied someone might not notice underscores, just a thought. Rules I was initially thinking about: Dashes will replace spaces when creating default URL when one of conditions below met: 1. Page title (and basically URL) contains 3 or more words 2. Page title contains 2 words but it's length is longer than 12 characters. And that's where my question about consistency came from - is it all that important for URL? Does users tend to remember URLs of particular pages at all?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Q: Information overload: how do you keep track?
To mark stuff I want to read online I use Read it later extension for FF (really-really great extension). About a year ago I started to add lots of feeds about design, ux webdev to GReader. Later on I realized that it takes too much time (almost like a second job) to keep up with everything new. So after that I started to clean it up. Now I'm down to about 50-70 new posts from blogs everyday. I usually just scan through their text trying to find something really interesting marking with stars everything I want to give second thought later on. I wish google would add new sorting to their GReader -- sort by interest. There are many possible ways to do it so I'm looking forward to it :P For bookmarks I use delicious extension which helps me to add new good link ot interesting resource in couple clicks. Before that I used Google Bookmarks, but gave up because of inability to integrate it nicely with my browser. And as for IxDA -- I gave up trying to read all and everything. Usually I just come, delete new Job Event messages and then scan headers looking for interesting stuff. Another interesting question for me is -- how do you fight distraction at work place? Usually I try to disable all tray notifications, email notifications and so on so it wont interrupt me in the middle of task. Same with co-workers, if I'm in the middle of something I ask to wait unless it's emergency of some sort. -- Maxim Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list ...

In my opinion it should be some kind of mix of live chat discussion board.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] live chat best pratices
Jeff, May I ask you not do one thing that annoys me very much when I use live chat of my hosting provider: When I click on Live Chat on the homepage it opens new window and then resize it as needed. However I use FF and all new windows (target=_blank) are opened as tabs. So after I click there it resize my whole browser with all my tabs opened. It's not a big deal, but it annoys me a lot. Also if live chat is offline tell me about it immediately (not after I filled out form with question and waited for 5 minutes for somebody to respond to me). Showing that someone is typing is a good thing as well. When I type I'm trying to separate paragraphs. Also I use several IM clients simultaneously, so sometimes it's hard to remember which key combination will submit my response (ctrl+enter, enter, tab - enter). If you decide to autosubmit response on enter, then let me (user) know about it, as well as provide key combination for going to the new line. Also you might want to look at different IM clients -- they have many common things with live chat. -- Maxim *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Designing for CMS
I came to company where I work 2.5 years ago. My previous background was creating web sites for small and midsize businesses. So I was aware about challenges people face when updating their websites and what most websites need from CMS (easy interactions, flexibility and so on). We decided to redesign our website. I've done research to find nice CMS for Windows platform and I was not satisfied with what I found. In 2 weeks we developed first version of our CMS. Now, 2.5 years later it is 3rd version and it has grown from in-house product to commercial product with tens of websites using it with many addons (webstore, MS RMS sync, Subscriptions, Form builder, Mass mailing and so on). Those lessons I've learned working on it: * It should look good and be appealing and attractive to user . 2nd version was stylish gray/black/orange and people didnt really like it, however designers were excited about it. * Ajax does make sense. Users initially spend a lot of time with Sitemap tool, building structure of their website, that's why we've added full ajax support to it so they dont wait for page to load after each action. * Help users to start quickly . We've added small 4-5 steps overviews to each section of CMS to answer most frequent questions. They are automatically activated with first usage. It significantly minimized support efforts. * Provide flexibility. No matter how well you've documented website requirements, some time later client will ask about new features for the website and CMS should be ready to support it. * If your CMS doesnt support something, modify your CMS, dont make clients log in somewhere else to do changes to their websites. * Provide ability to preview changes to content online without actual saving them. * Let users revert to previous version of content in case something will go wrong. * If client doesnt need something (Member Management, for example, when they dont have registration on their website) -- dont show it in CMS. * Let client know their visitors better (provide report of what have been searched on the site, for example) * Dont limit web developers using your CMS to your own template system or custom script language. Our developers use ASP.net (with all it's features, templates etc.) to build front end websites. * Think not only about CMS - Client interactions, but about CMS - Developer interaction (but it's more for CMS backend developers) -- Best regards, Maxim *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Hello Faith, How is it different from a Windows desktop folder or folder shortcut with a custom icon? You dont see controls that are useless in that context (i.e. window bar, toolbars, window caption etc. -- you dont need them to launch application). You dont need to worry about newly opened window because it will be closed after you click somewhere else or on the icon.

I want to thank everybody for great links and answers on my questions.

Do you think it will help user if those groups/areas will be visually emphasized a little bit? For example: - Games related shortcuts will be placed in nice box with slightly colored background - Multimedia will be placed in another box with different color So after some time of use user will have strong associations of application groups with specific colors. Yes, there are practical issues, like if I add new shortcut to Games group and it will not fit into drawn box, but I would like not consider them at this point.
