RE: [WSG] Good radio station sites?
Title: FW: [WSG] Good radio station sites? Thank you Peter, thats exactly the idea I had in mind. I could design it myself but I think its an opportunity for a designer starting out in standards/css/xhtml design. Its a project that doesnt pay anything in money terms. But therell be credit on the site, and the designer can put it in their portfolio. There is no restrictions on the design, except for good sense, and the fact that we don't want to change our logo because its used in lots of places. So a designer has a pretty wide brief. Its a way for a designer to learn to design a site that covers a lot of different types of pages, and using only CSS for styling. On a resume thats going to look pretty good. A media site, designed to the latest standards. Looks good to me. Not many people have time to take on probono projects, but I have 3 I look after, as part of my commitment to my hobbies and a way of adding back to organisations that do a lot for me. But it also offers me the way to use my skills and learn to do things where I don't have a client wanting that done right now. For example, when I needed to learn how to convert a site from old fashioned tables based layout to CSS based layout, I didnt have a client ready to do that at the time. But I have these probono sites, and I picked one for a re-vamp. I needed to learn how to make a content management system, and didnt have a well-heeled client ready to build one, so I built one for one of my probono sites. If this site works out as well as we hope, were going to be making an issue of it on the station. Our listenership covers most of the Sydney metro area and we run ads pointing to the site 8 times a day. Were going to be raising its profile a lot in the national radio organisation CBAA and other media groups. Were going to be putting effort into making it a feature of the station. Our station is one of the oldest community stations in the country 25 years continuous 24hour a day broadcasting and we are technically very advanced. For example our sports calling equipment is more advanced than 2GBs. We might run the station on a shoestring but the equipment we use is state-of-the-art. Its an all-digital station and our gear isnt old second hand cast-offs from other stations. Were one of the few radio stations in the country that can run 3 outside broadcasts simultaneously with no one back in the studio in town. (we recently had a group doing crosses from a hospital fundraiser, and calling the NRL game at Panthers Stadium at the same time as running the station from the Hawkesbury Show from our OB bus). The station is prepared to have a go at things. As to the design brief, the station management has accepted my idea that we should rebuild our pretty boring site into something thats a showcase an example for others to follow. Weve laid out a pretty ambitious siteplan for the content were going to have, and I have ambitious plans for how Im going to build it. I want to use the latest coldfusion techniques, and use XHTML strict if I can manage it, so the resulting code is right up to date. And we need a design thats eyecatching, up to date, and cuts some new ground in media web sites. I hope someone sees some personal benefit from committing their time to doing a design for it. Ive found doing probono work gives me the confidence to say yes I can build a site like that because with probono I can take risks and try things I wouldnt be game to try on a clients dime. I havent had any offers so far Peter, but if I don't, Ill definitely take you up on it. Thanks for your offer.

Hi Michael, sounds like a really worthwhile cause and good on you for taking on the challenge! :) I'm guessing (and hoping) you get a few offers from young designers that have some time on their hands and are willing to contribute some design talent to the project. But in the event that you dont - let me know and I'd be prepared to contribute a design for it.

Re: [WSG] Critique please
Hi Richard I really like it - maybe three small comments, all very minor: 1) You're using inline styles in a number of places. 2) div id =' footnav' - there is a space in front of a number of your id attribute values. Not sure how this would affect CSS, JS, etc.. 3) indent is a poor choice for a class name. Describe *why* the data in presented the way it is, rather than describing the presentation. 9.5 out of 10.

[WSG] Brisbane July Meeting - Report
Sorry not to report back more promptly, the usual bedlam and madness ensues here :) The Brisbane Meeting this month was a smaller affair than the first one, but a lively meeting happened nonetheless. Marc's presentation was very well received. Last month, Tony told us how to make our websites standards compliant. This month, Marc told us why we should. :) A very interesting and detailed open forum followed - for those who were unable to attend, you *really* missed something!

RE: [WSG] Oh, the humanity!
AMG has posted a response to the criticism of the new design here (amusing): http://www.gloriousnoise.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1992 I wrote them an note when I first learned of the site, and have since noticed they have taken down the big yellow warning at the top of their page. However, this response page they have posted digs them a deeper hole. As a loosely organized body, maybe we could create a letter to send them that summarizes everything we have all been saying, explaining their misperceptions and offering some sage advice. That might seem a little presumptory or arrogant of us, but it really shows that we care about seeing companies make the right decisions when building sites. Any thoughts?

RE: [WSG] A California meeting? was Brisbane July Meeting - Report
Marina Del Rey, CA is a suburb of Los Angeles, California. Paradise!!! :-) Best, Jim Barricks Might be best to list yourself as Los Angeles then, or is it really too far spread? I've only seen the airport :) This is why we ask for the general city rather than suburbs or sattelite cities. I suspect there are some pretty close to Boston that list their city/suburb locally as well (Cambridge etc.). If you're interested in a meeting in your area, it might be a good idea to change your location to one that shows the closet major city you're prepared to travel to for a meeting. Oh, and please be neat, check the list to see the way others have entered the state etc. Use proper capitalisation. US states should be your two letter code (Uppercase). I keep an eye on it and adjust accordingly but it's time consuming. Also, check the spelling of your country. Some are entered in the local version and some in the English dirivitave (e.g. Brasil instead of Brazil, Espana instead of Spain).

Re: [WSG] Critique please
Richard Not bad, If you hadnt told me I wouldnt have known it was a first attempt. The only 3 problems I found were: 1. http://www.pricklypair.co.nz/contactus.php lets me enter the fullstop character for all fields, you need to validate to at least check for an @ sign 2. The white bird of paradise photo http://pricklypair.co.nz/images/strelnic.jpg is missing 3. When a page/image is not found, a standard 404 error is displayed. You can customize your server's error message so your users are not struck with this unhelpful error by creating a custom 404 error page eg: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/02/13/davidsklar.html -- Neerav Bhatt http://www.bhatt.id.au Web Development IT consultancy Mobile: +61 (0)403 8000 27 http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/neerav Richard Lake wrote: Could you critique http://www.pricklypair.co.nz for me please. I've aimed to be standards compliant and accessible but I'm sure there's still some work to do in that area. This is my first PHP/mySQL site and there's still some work to be done around the ordering area etc, but it works pretty much the way I'd designed it to. I'd really welcome your comments.
