Phil JonesSo, given that I haven’t shown up in these parts for over a year, you might be thinking that I’m only popping in to tell you that I’m shutting down this blog, once and for all. If so, props to you! You are right.

One of the biggest problems with UX is that no one can really agree on what it means.
-
Literally, user experience design is about designing everything from environments and buildings, to services and products, to technology: hardware, software, and of course, websites and other digital environments.
-
user experience in a digital environment is about visual design coupled with interaction design, and how the combination of both visual and interaction design make our users feel.
-
Right now, the trend we’re seeing in the UX world is a focus on emotional design
-
(how the visual design + interactions make our users feel).

Right. Sorry about the delay in getting back to this series of posts. You might remember that in part two, I talked at length about the wonders of CCK. The one thing I wanted to pick up on in this post (to round of the CCK discussion) is how CCK makes site administration a lot easier.
If you’re already sold on Drupal, I probably don’t need to tell you how advantageous it is to separate your site’s content from other elements like design, architecture, and navigation. Indeed, this is the promise of most content management systems. CCK facilitates that by allowing you to build input forms that your content folks can use to create pages really easily. So, when a content editor logs into the site, he/she sees a form with clearly defined fields to fill in, which is so much better than being confronted with one large input box in which to dump the entire contents of a page.
-
As I mentioned the other day, del.icio.us has become even more of an outboard brain for me lately, especially with our website redesign in full swing. Anytime I’m confronted with even the most minuscule UI issue (what to put on the form submission button? “submit”, “go”, “search”?),
-
The other neat thing about CCK is that it works with Drupal’s permissions to allow you to control access around content type. To pick up on the subject guide example I used in part two, you could grant your subject/liaison librarians permission to create and edit the subject guide content type (and any other content type that is pertinent to their work). Setting up permissions around content type means that when your content folks log into the site, they will be able to edit and create just the content types you have given them permission to edit and create (nothing more or less). At my library, this comes in particularly handy since almost everyone is responsible for some content on the site (for real).
-
So it was with some delight that I stumbled upon Favthumbs. Do the internets really need another del.icio.us visualization tool?
