Financial Times: Preview our new-look homepage

ft.com-new-look-homepage.jpg

Just in from Financial Times:

Here’s a sneak preview of our new-look homepage, which launches this week. We’re aiming for a more sophisticated look and feel that is consistent with the Financial Times brand - a clean and uncluttered executive briefing on the world of global business.

This is the first step in a series of design changes and functional improvements that will be rolled out across the rest of the site as they become available. These include:

  • Expanded coverage of important subjects such as macroeconomics, energy and technology.
  • Better integration between market data and news, to give context to market movements.
  • More opportunities for users to become part of the Financial Times community by contributing to our discussion forums and blogs.

    Of course, many of the things we’re working on we hope you’ll hardly notice at all. Planned improvements to the behind-the-scenes nuts and bolts of our publishing system will make the site quicker and easier to use. Please bear with us while we get there.

    Take a look at it here.

Dataverkstan gjorde underverk med min Mac

utsikt.jpg Jag vet inte vad de gjorde egentligen pÄ supporten mer Àn att de blÄste ut den ett par gÄnger och slÀngde in ett nytt system. Men nu gÄr min Mac som ett spjut genom vÀrlden. Och jag Àr vÀldigt glad och tacksam. Saker som tidigare bara hackade nÀr jag tittade, som t ex Pixars nya rulle "UP", rullar nu enkelt och vackert. Det kanske Àr sÄ att precis som bilar behöver de hÀr gamla burkarna lite service efter tusen mil, eller nÄtt.

Hela listan: Mina plugins till Wordpress

Den hÀr listan har ibland haft 30+ plugins och ibland bara tvÄ. Just nu ser den ut sÄ hÀr men SimpleTags (för bloggar.se), Photo Dropper, UMapper och WP-Cumulus Àr ocksÄ kul. Plugins Àr verkligen en smaksak och ibland Àr man sugen pÄ godis och ibland Àr man proppmÀtt. För mycket plugins/godis kan ge hÄl i Wordpress/tÀnderna.
