Why Scrolling Is the New Click
ipen:
Which is better for users, scrolling or clicking? This is the question that designers have to think about when they’re designing page flow. Clicking offers users a menu of links that take them to a new page. Scrolling offers users all the content divided into different sections on a single page.
Many years ago, clicking was the simple answer to this question. The general thought was that if you made your page too long, users would only view and read the top half and glance over or ignore the bottom half. Today, things have changed.

As user behavior changes over time, designers need to take that into account in their designs. (Click to read article in full)
GOT VINTAGE SOCIAL NETWORKS?
Olia Lialina & Dragan Espenschied have created this great project Once Upon, where they have taken three major social networking websites (YouTube, Facebook, and Google+) and reprogrammed them to look as if they existed in 1997.

SharePoint Branding & Design: SharePoint 2010 Base CSS Classes
The last few days I’ve creating a custom SharePoint 2010 template from scratch for work. The CSS in SharePoint is mind-blowingly complicated, at least to me it is (over 10,000 lines of code). So today I found this awesome post by Erik Swenson, who I am now very grateful for. It hasn’t completely solved my problems, but it has helped with a few major problem areas. So I figured I would post for my designer followers. Enjoy!
