- # [23:31] * Joins: zcorpan (~zcorpan@c-3999e355.410-6-64736c14.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se)
- # [23:31] <zewt> pages that make you scroll down and up and down and up
- # [23:31] <shetech> zewt: tell me more
- # [23:31] <shetech> ah
- # [23:31] <shetech> that assumes your content is that lengthy
- # [23:32] <zewt> magazines are laid out the way they are to deal with the paper medium; a webpage is completely different and that doesn't make sense
- # [23:32] <zcorpan> well there was <multicol>
- # [23:32] <zewt> (fortunately, it's not a common one; much more common are pages that reduce text to a three-word column, which is perhaps even more painful)
- # [23:33] <shetech> I can think of a number of uses for multiple columns, but I wouldn't use it as a <body> style, for example (yikes).
- # [23:33] <shetech> I'm thinking of a CMS that's very content-rich
- # [23:33] <shetech> where interior pages might have article columns
- # [23:34] <shetech> and I'd want the flow to work automatically
- # [23:35] * Quits: danbri (~danbri@ip176-48-210-87.adsl2.static.versatel.nl) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
- # [23:35] <shetech> zewt: I totally get it about paper vs. web, but I can still imagine web uses, as long as the designer followed some basic best practices (keeping stuff above the fold, for example)
- # [23:35] <zewt> ... please don't fold my monitor
- # [23:35] <shetech> has anyone seen how this might behave in a mobile medium, and how graceful is the transition?
- # [23:35] <shetech> zewt: hee
- # [23:35] <zewt> (seriously after as many years as I've used this stuff I still have no idea what "the fold" is supposed to mean in a web context)
- # [23:36] <shetech> ah
- # [23:36] <shetech> "fold" in web context is anything that naturally falls in a screen without the need to scrolling. Anything below that scroll line is "below the fold"
- # [23:36] <shetech> Of course, that changes depending on screen resolution
- # [23:37] <zewt> sometimes it seems to mean "the text after our broken, worthless rss feed text ends" (by people who have broken "summary" rss feeds instead of full-text ones)
- # [23:37] <shetech> so it's a slippery slope to define a "best practice"
- # [23:37] <zewt> shepazu: but people seem to say it at the end of a block fo text--by the time you get there you've scrolled down a ways anyway, so it no longer makes sense, heh
- # [23:37] <shetech> zewt: I haven't heard it used in that context
- # [23:38] <shetech> rss, I mean
- # [23:38] <zewt> i seem to recall people saying it referred to ads, too (not sure, abp)
- # [23:38] <zewt> eg. "after the following giant obnoxious ad" or something like that
- # [23:38] <shetech> heh
- # [23:39] <shetech> IF the giant obnoxious ad covers the whole page, I could see that
- # [23:39] <shetech> but
- # [23:39] <zewt> putting those together i'm inclined to take it as "a misappropriated term from other media that people use in lots of different ways" :)
- # [23:39] <shetech> well, yes
- # [23:39] <shetech> But it's actually appropriate in the context I've heard it, wherein a page design includes stuff at the top of the screen and below that natural scroll line
- # [23:39] <zewt> if you viewed the page on a ds, would it be called "the hinge"?
- # [23:40] <shetech> I try to design pages where the calls to action and high-value content fall "above the fold"
- # [23:40] <shetech> hee. good question.
- # [23:40] <zewt> those seem like exactly opposite sets of things :)
- # [23:40] <shetech> depends on your page, dunnit?
- # [23:40] <shetech> ;-)
- # [23:40] <zewt> ("calls to action" being "things that most users don't care about which we're trying to trick them into clicking" vs. actual useful content)
- # [23:40] <zewt> well, yes :P
- # [23:41] <zewt> on the vast majority of pages merely being on the page and reading is what the user would call "high-value content", though, and everything else ("sign up for no reason!" "click my stupid banner ads!") is low-value distraction, though
- # [23:42] <zewt> gotta love the web, where content is that annoying stuff that's distracting the user from signing up for an account
- # [23:42] <shetech> I've seen some page designs where, for example, a video port covers the entire top half of a page, with no clear call to action or even description of what the video is supposed to be. Ergo, missing both high value content AND a call to action. :D
- # [23:42] <shetech> yeah
- # [23:42] <zewt> like i think nyt pops up an obnoxious animated "do something!" (never actually read it) when you scroll near the bottom, when you're still reading
- # [23:42] <shetech> One man's fertilizer is another man's smelly nuisance
- # [23:42] <zewt> but crap is always crap
- # [23:42] <shetech> yeah, I hate that nyt stuff. That's relatively new, and highly annoying
- # [23:43] <shetech> har! Indeed!
- # [23:43] <shetech> Well, so I'm trying to instruct readers how to avoid crap as much as possible...
- # [23:43] <shetech> which includes building pages that are NOT too long
- # [23:43] <shetech> and that do NOT include annoying popups
- # [23:43] <shetech> and stuff
- # [23:43] <zewt> i don't think telling people "don't use popups, they're annoying" is terribly productive
- # [23:44] <shetech> heh
- # [23:44] <shetech> well, no
- # [23:44] <zewt> people know they're annoying
- # [23:44] <shetech> That was perhaps a bad example
- # [23:44] <zewt> one thing about the web: you can very quickly tell how highly someone thinks of their own content

- # [23:45] * shetech groans
- # [23:46] <shetech> one thing about columns, though, to your earlier point, is that the human eye can still read columnar content a little easier than a big block of grey-space
- # [23:46] <shetech> as long as the block containing those columns is, as you suggest, all above a magical scroll line
- # [23:46] <zewt> that's just a max-width thing, though; and it's very often taken to the point of a fault (eg. the three-word-columns problem)
- # [23:47] <shetech> yes
- # [23:47] <shetech> good point
- # [23:47] <zewt> (even better, when it turns into a column of single words as it flows around an image plonked directly into the text)
- # [23:47] <shetech> heh
- # [23:47] <shetech> also a good point
