One of the most commonly overlooked and under-refined elements of a website is its pagination controls. In many cases, these are treated as an afterthought. I rarely come across a website that has decent pagination, and it always makes me wonder why so few manage to get it right. After all, I'd say that pagination is pretty easy to get right. Alas, that doesn't seem the case, so after encouragement from Chris Messina on Flickr I decided to write my Pagination 101, hopefully it'll give you some clues as to what makes good pagination.

Times are changing

It's finally time: I'm changing the structure, nature and overall feel of the site entirely. Gone with the web standards-blogging (for now), no more "strictly professional content" policy (I failed on that a few times, anyway). Comments are off, due to the site turning static for a while, and to start off in the new direction I present to you a long post about far more personal subjects than I've ever blogged about.

A change in direction
Fetched: December 21st, 2006, 5:31pm PST

Last Friday was the one-year anniversary of version 8 of the KuraFire Network, as well as the FACE project. It went by without so much a whisper, albeit unintentionally. Ordinarily, I use X-year anniversaries to reflect on what's happened and changed in the past year, how it has influenced my life and so forth. This year, though, what happened was me making a decision and that decision made me totally forget to write about V8 and FACE. I made the decision to take my site in a new direction entirely.

CSS hacks: useful, evil or …laziness?
Fetched: December 17th, 2006, 12:50am PST

Despite me having fallen pray to the Black Hole of Apple Disorder (BHAD)[1], the scarcity of activity on this site hasn't affected traffic much at all. To commemorate (read: challenge and test) that, I figured I should throw in a semi-controversial poll to see where people stand these days. The question is as follows: are CSS hacks a useful tool, utter evil incarnate or a sign of laziness in the web developer that uses them? Elaborations after the cut!

Updates on the web

Time flies by when you are having fun/busy like crazy - or both! So November's here already, which means that Refresh Orlando is just around the corner. After that, Christmas and the New Year are soon upon us, leading us to 2007 - another fine year for web conferences no doubt. It starts off with South By South West, but even before that - in February - we have Web Directions North with a fantastic line-up. If this is to reflect how the rest of the year will be, it's going to be a great 2007!
