1140 Fluid Starkers WordPress Theme

64 Replies

I’m a huge fan of Elliot Jay Stocks’ Starkers WordPress Theme, and an even bigger fan of the 1140 CSS Grid, the absolutely fantastical fluid down to mobile grid framework. Today I needed them to marry and have a child, and this is what came of it:

I’m not really providing any documentation because both are pretty well documented. Derived from Elliot Jay Stocks’ Starkers Theme (http://starkerstheme.com/) and the 1140 CSS Grid (http://cssgrid.net/).

Dribbble Keystroke Navigation: A Greasemonkey Script

Leave a reply

I was browsing through Dribbble and I wanted to navigate through shots, like you can navigate through photos on Flickr.

Download The Script: dribbble_keystroke_navig.user

So I wrote this script. First install Greasemonkey, restart Firefox, and then drag this script into the browser window.

When you’re browsing shots, you can hit the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through the shots.

Happy Dribbbling and Merry HanuChristmaFestivukuh from @thedotmack!!

Known Issue: When in an input or textarea, using the left and right arrows changes the page… I will be fixing this in a day or so, so I’m just letting ya’ll know that v1.0 will be coming soon :)

The Reason I Built FANNNS

6 Replies

I built a website called http://fannns.com where anyone and everyone can comment on shots from the website, Dribbble. The reason I did this is because I believe that there are opinions, suggestions, and feedback from people outside the Dribbble community that are valid and important.

I was drafted to Dribbble a few months ago and since then I haven’t really been able to get the kind of quality feedback I’m looking for on my designs, because its near impossible to get followers on Dribbble if you’re not one of the “design elite.” I wanted to be a part of the community so badly so I could improve my design skills and be the best I can be at what I do. So far this is not the case.

Fannns will hopefully change this. It probably ruffled a few feathers over in Dribbble-land and that’s why I haven’t gotten much play on it yet.

What do you think?

Paypal is unusable.

I logged in to cancel a subscription I have to a dating web site for apple nerds called Cupidtino lol… And when I got to the subscription page I was presented with inaccurate and confusing messages.

Please confirm your subscription details below. To update your funding source, change your funding source information and click “Update Information”. To cancel your subscription, click “Cancel Subscription.”

The site clearly states, “To cancel your subscription, click Cancel Subscription.” Easy enough? Well, there is no “Cancel Subscription” link on that page. Just a link that says simply, “Cancel.”

When I click “Cancel” I am presented with this dialog box:

You’re about to cancel this profile: You can’t reactivate canceled customer profiles. Do you still want to cancel it?

I’m not sure if I want to cancel this profile – If I do, will it cancel my SUBSCRIPTION? What is a PROFILE, PayPal!?? And why are you telling me to look for a “Cancel Subscription” button, if there is none to be found? I searched the page, command+F like I usually do when I suspect foul play, folks. Something fishy is definitely going on here.

PayPal handles the bulk of online financial transactions, yet they can’t even give simple instructions to their users to accomplish important tasks. This is not the first time I’ve found myself in that situation on PayPal’s web site. I’ve looked to find answers in their help section, and PayPal has told me to complete certain things, click on different links, etc. Nearly 90% of the time, the instructions were incorrect.

This needs to be handled. I can understand the documentation being off if the site has been updated, but I don’t understand a clear notice on a page telling me to click on a non-existent link.

RULE #1 PEOPLE! Don’t lead your users on a wild goose chase. Also, if you make as much money as PayPal does, hire someone with some common sense to organize your site.

UPDATE: I went ahead and canceled my “Customer Profile” for Cupidtino, and sure enough I got this message:

This profile has been canceled and cannot be reactivated. No more recurring payments will be made.

I didn’t realize my subscription was called a “profile”, I guess it must be obvious to the programmer who has been tasked with writing error messages in between figuring out complicated algorithms and database schemas.  Don’t you know, programmers don’t speak human?

At least no more recurring payments will be made. Mission accomplished.

My own .clearfix concoction

Leave a reply

I’ve been using this for years now. I just tried to use the more widely accepted clearfix to no avail. I like mine better. It always works.

br.clearfix, li.clearfix {
            display:block !important;
     float:none !important;
     height:0 !important;
     line-height:0 !important;
     font-size:1px !important;
     clear:both !important;
}

And I never have any trouble in any browser. There you go. Clear all the floats you want. Go ahead, see if I care.
