    "247 web usability guidelines Although designing usable systems requires far more than simply applying guidelines, guidelines can still make a significant contribution to usability by promoting consistency and good practice. We use this list of guidelines in our consultancy work. For best results, remember to interpret the guideline in context - this requires a bit more thought but ensures you will get a lot more from your review."

    A great post on how Wordpress handles media and particularly how to use the add_image_size() function to crop featured images. (At least that's how I found it when I was searching on Google.)

  • participants never understand things quite the way you do.
    • Newman Lanier
      Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
       
      I think the big point here is that no one (No way, not never) will understand somethign the same way you. How much mutual understanding is necessary to gain consensus and to complete the project? While maintaining high standards...
  • Instead, work to clarify your language. Be precise. And be patient.
    • Newman Lanier
      Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
       
      I see the Plug-in ideas as an issue of language. You must let everyone know what language you are sending your signal. It's important to know what language others are hearing and / or listening for... I guess a BIG PROBLEM is to switch languages all the time, cause then no one knnows how to translate 'the words coming out of your mouth'. Advice, pick a language and stick with it.
  • We have to actively lower the stress and anxiety. And the only way to do that is to empathize with the others in the meeting.
    • Newman Lanier
      Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
       
      The first step - GI Joe says "Now you know and Knowing is half the battle". Self awareness and awareness of the emotions of other is key to managing the atmosphere of a room or meeting.

      here is my bit about ego and battles. I think it's the only thing that people know. It's the greatest story ever told - but it's seems like the ONLY story ever told. Why the conflict? Why the struggle? Perhaps it's hard-wired into the brain. Perhaps we're doomed repeat the hero worship / evil tyrannt cycle of a two party system.
  • Your designer acts like he’s got PTSD.

      http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/post-traumatic-stress-disorder - Web MD on PTSD. Can emotional abuse cause PTSD? Have designers ever been physically abused? I think there is definite emotional abuse is some organizations. Of course, I think my dehumanizing systems of work and school are abusive, IMHO.
  • In a meeting full of werewolves, this lack of confidence can be interpreted as weakness.
    • Newman Lanier
      Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
       
      This might makes right mentality and mis-trust of difference / diversity is right to the core of design meeting suckiness.
  • Werewolf Design Meeting into the Strategically Driven Design Meeting.
    • Newman Lanier
      Newman Lanier on 14 Mar 12
       
      An idea - let's make sure that everyone in the meeting gets the plug-in. This would set the language and goal of the meeting. Are we doing an "everyone shutup and get to the end" style of meeting? Are we doing the "Boss tirade"? "Battle Royale"? Let me know beforehand so I can get ready...

  • users are not able to learn and trust its behavior and meaning.
    • Newman Lanier
      Newman Lanier on 16 Mar 12
       
      This is key. Designers gain this trust by not violating the rules they create. Sometimes these rules - or Grammar, as I like to call it - are codified and rigid. Everyone knows them and the designers use them. But, other times, like creating the 'yellow brick road', the designer makes them up and offers it to the user.
  • This allows the color to come to the foreground and dominate the composition with its strength rather than its abundance.

  • Assign a behavior to type elements and be consistent.

      'Assign a behavior to type elements' - I'm not exactly clear on this. I understand about limiting number of fonts and text style. I assume behavior is something like - H1s do this. This font is for description. That font is for system messages. And, this font is for the buy process - yellow brick road / Critical path. Correct?
  • Newman Lanier on 16 Mar 12
     
    Yellow brick road' is like highlighting what we call the critical path with color. Check document for notes

    a reason to get involved with personas... And, another way to screw it up. The customer buying cycle is the ... yes, THE most important attribute of their persona in relationship with you and your site. Who cares if they are 34 years old or rides a scooter - you are about if they are ready to convert.
