I am Maja Kraljic, professional web manager interested in innovative web marketing, web design, my guitars, running and mountain biking. I live in Slovenia.
In recent years I have designed and coded several web pages and some printed material. Here you can see some of my latest projects.
If you fancy reading blogs in RSS readers feel free to add my RSS feed. If not, you can bookmark the page.
You can, similar to Google Docs and Microsoft’s Word, edit your text, add images, comments … but it is built in Flex (a free open source framework for building and maintaining rich web applications) and that’s why there are lots of animations making your editing enjoyable. Click on the picture bellow and see the editing screen.
My first thought was that the editor is a bit slow (due to my computer and internet connection) but I really like the user interface. Note the user comments and word count at the bottom.
I unfortunatelly can’t say that I will use it, while it is easier for me to open the word file in Microsoft Word or make a doc in Google Docs (to have all files in one place), but it is nice to know that it exists and that Flash is able to process all this data.
Well, the next Web application on my list is Photoshop Express - the Adobe’s photo editing web site.
As you might know I have another blog named uporabi.net (in translation useit.net). My first post was about the online tabloid Požareport and when I was looking at web statistics I have seen that over 50% of visitors typed požareport as a keyword. So I went looking on google and local search engines … and of course I have found out that my post is listed as first at google.com and google.si. In local search engine najdi.si it’s on the third place. I guess the search engine optimization pays off :)
If you use Mozilla Forefox on a regular basis and you are also an avid user of flickr, facebook, youtube and other nice web services try the new Flock - The Social Web Browser.
The migration of data (bookmarks, feeds, usernames) is quite easy so in less than 15 minutes you’ll get a set of new tools that will make your online life easier.
Today I came across an interesting and highly useful web page for all internet users and your brain cells. Some might call it the future of web navigation, others would agree it’s just a web experiment.
Both might be right.
http://www.dontclick.it is a web page that explores web navigation without clicking. Quite simple, right? Try it first and tell me what do you think! You WILL be amazed about what the developer Alex Franz had made!
Today I’m working on navigation that will look like the one you just have seen. However I have included few important enhancements that are based on accessibility issues which were disregarded by Porsche web developers. The main objective was to make navigation readable, accessible and usable for everybody, not just users who have browsers that support JavaScript (and have JavaScript turned on).
Navigation is made with unordered list and list item HTML tags and styled with CSS. As there were some special visual effects needed I have used Javascript, but nevertheless the navigation works 100% with disabled JavaScript!
By the way, I’ll post the link when it will be embedded into some special web site.
As I many times surf the web and find an interesting solution to a “web” problem I might have I often find some cool feature I have seen before but was unable to find out exactly how it works. The same happened with Image Cross Fader Redux. It consists of JavaScript code, CSS and HTML and makes some kind of gallery of fading images. You can see an example: 45royale.com/ and on many other pages.
To sum up: write HTML code in your document (with correct names of pictures and their sizes), write CSS in the file xfade2.css, write CSS in the file fade2_0.css, write Javascript code and add CSS and Javascript links to the head of your HTML document.
