Another excellent piece by Andy Rutledge, an admonition/checklist for being a professional designer/developer.

Both the BBC and Fox news web sites have recently been redesigned, with the BBC losing its looks and Fox getting neat and serious.

jQuery diagramming with jsPlumb — cool.

Another wonderful blog post by Walter Russell Mead, this time hoping that the blogosphere find a not-so-distant mirror in 18th-century London.

Google argues that its mobile YouTube site is better than its YouTube iPhone app.

Jakob Nielsen tests reading usability on the iPad and Kindle and reports that they’re almost as good as reading on paper. People didn’t like reading on PCs — it reminded them of work.

Falling out of love with the iPad. None of this surprises me.

Wow, icons made entirely in CSS3 (currently Safari, Chrome only).

ometimes a site needs more access to next and previous entries than ExpressionEngine’s built-in next/previous tags provide.

With the Nearby Entries plugin, you can display not just one but any number of next and previous links. Order them not only chronologically by entry date but by any column in the exp_weblog_titles table, such as edit date, expiration date, entry id or title. Filter them using standard weblog:entries parameters such as status, category, author and custom fields. And display their custom fields.

For more information, see the docs.

The price per ExpressionEngine installation is $15, it works for both EE v1 and v2, and it’s free to try before you buy.
