Web-Toilet

Rough times, interesting links!

Well, yes. This has been a rough time for me and web-toilet. Firstly, there was the easter holidays. Soo.. drunk. I’ve also had problems with my internet in my original home town, so haven’t had time to update web-toilet, or trahte.org. But I’ve got many articles waiting in line for the right occasions.

Interesting links!

Well, I’ve seen many blogs with these kind of articles and I thought what the hell, why not start one? Well, this(first) time I’ll be linking to a few great CSS and webdesign resources. Weehoo!

CSS tricks is probably the best updated CSS resource site on the net now, and I must say, great content!

CSS globe is a community. A CSS community. If you sign up to the RSS you will get notification of updates atleast four times a day. Hell, while I was writing this article I got two updates already. Extremely usefull.

WebdesignerWall is maintained by Nick La and he has very new ways of thinking.

Do I even need to mention A List Apart? It’s the best.

CSS-off is not for learning, but it’s more of a competition. You get 24 hours to take a PSD-file and turn it into a webpage with CSS and webstandards. You should get on the ride! The price is money, but you can donate it to some charity of your own choice.

Something else

Well, I’ve been writing on a tutorial, more specifically; a tutorial about how I created the menu you see on Trahte.org, and how to get IE to show it as it should be shown! Will be updating when it comes around.

Ugly sites, week 11. And a personal note!

Well, yes. Now it’s week 11, and it’s time for a personal note too. I’ve just started a new forum, namely 59. A design forum, that is. It’s not up yet, since we’re working on a new theme.

Now then, to the sites!

Ugly Sites, week 10

Tor — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 11:29:06 +0000

Iminta

Iminita.com has the ugliest color palette I’ve seen in a while. And what the hell is up with the drop shadow? The header has an okay drop shadow, but then the content part comes up and.. Well.. It gets ugly.

Reble

Reble surely has reflect. And that DAMN ugly blue gradient in the background. Ew. And also, the idea isn’t exactly new. You can’t jump after Last.fm. (more…)

403 day!

Today is the 403 day!

The 403 day is a day where you deny access to your sites from Internet Explorer. Woohoo!

Ugly sites, week 9.

Tor — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 11:33:54 +0000

It’s been going kinda slow here on web toilet. Mainly because of other projects, school and guitar hero 3. But I’m starting a new weekly post now, ugly sites. I’ll showcase 5 ugly sites I’ve found while stumbling and surfing over the web.

GREAT resources on how to create a “web 2.0 page”!

Tor — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:07:02 +0000

I was stumbling at school today and found some weird links. They actually stumbled some “web 2.0″ logo, badge and site generators. What the hell?

Also, I created a new illustration for a school project, a dvd cover! More after the jump

Finaly! The opening of Web Toilet!

A little backstory

Well, the story behind this site. This “blog” was created in the matter of minutes in my mind after me, and a buddy of mine, Magnus Nyland, were talking about the “web 2.0 look”, and how much I hate that cursed trend. Firstly I came up with the idea of the slogan, which would be “Shitting on the web 2.0 look”, and hey, what do you know? The name came right after.

The whole idea behind this fancy name is that Web Toilet will be showing you ugly sites(with the web 2.0 look), beautiful sites, talented people and some tutorials on how NOT to go down in history as a designer who bowed to the web 2.0 trend. The site will also be held hostage to my personal ideas and projects, as well as some guest writers when the time is right.
