regarding the NB studio site, I agree that it's a bit annoying not to be able to see the actual work, but they clearly — a. don't need to and — b. what they do show actually does give enough of impression of the quality of work to further engage a specific client.
The whole site could function a bit better [it gets really daft when you go to the "Also" section] but it's also not the worst thing in the world and fuck it, the content is all interesting [to me]
I like the potential to showcase the core concept of the work without the 'white noise' surrounding it, at least on the top level. If I go this direction, I would possibly add a second level that showcases the project in it's entirety, or maybe not. I like the possibility of potentially engaging someone to make another step, to obtain a full portfolio. It's a good opportunity to target the work a bit further and introduce some personal exchange. But of course you run the large risk of putting people off..
Anyways, it's just one way to approach our site and what the fuck do I care, I've got a foot and a half out the door...

i have nothing against the idea of showing a little of the work as a taster, that might then encourage further interaction, either with the site itself, or with the studio directly.
but having half of the work deliberately obscured for no other reason than because they can just seems a bit twatish to me.

- I'm sure they're fucking twats... but hey, we can smell our own..neue75_bold
- well tom, right now i am making a flash site for 12 rounds, the new fox film with ex wrestler john cena.********

- It's OK, you can always just put up a teaser image. Forever.juhls

My new co-worker wants to use a database-driven system to update pages on our web site. Which I am fine with, except I have to do all the work and I've done anything like that before. So I guess they will have to deal with me learning these things while we go along (I am actually learning this in school in September). She's quiet a pusher, that one is. Some of the work will be fun, but she has a lot of ideas, and I'm only in twice a week.

^ *I have never done anything like that before.

anyone know their way around Wordpress and themes?
I'm getting this motherfucker just about nailed but a weird thing is happening with the buttons in my nav - when the stylesheet points to the correct button names (all present and correct), nothing shows (its in a UL and that's all fine), but when I swap the file name out with something else in the images folder THAT one displays fine. Its freaking me out. Especially as I am actually getting the whole php thing pretty well I think.
also - wordpress and sifr - how in the fuck?

- CMYK?juhls
- Save for web and see if that helps.juhls
- nah, all that stuff is ok - its the same thing as the other day so I know the imgs are ok.kelpie
- What's the first version look like when you view the rendered source?blaw

where is horpieboy?
- kelpie0
this is the page - see above the (now non sifr) headline, there is a spritey button thing, with an outlined super special invisible button next to it? that's me swapped out the real button in there. I can see that the style sheet is working and everything, but am at a loss as to figure out why in the holy name of fuck the real buttons don't show up...

- maybe I should start a thread, but I'm scared of the outside forumkelpie
- there is no style sheet at this end.********
- at all??!kelpie
- I'm looking at it now - ignore everything from 'a bawbag rants' down, are the graphics at the top present, or is it literally all plain html?kelpie

i just don't want to work today... I'm tired, bored, and NIN music is not helping out.
- kelpie0
nice one cheers - that's what it should look like (header styled, content not styled) - above 'a bawbag rants' (working title ;) ther should be buttons like on here:
http://www.simackenzie.com/portf…but it doesn't seem to like those buttons - so I've swapped the twitter link graphic from above there, into that list item's anchor tag, and IT shows up.
I think the internet hates me
