Product design and development is a combination of creativity and analysis. But it depends on communication. ~ Michael Bremer

Go check out Flairbuilder. It’s awesome. I’m using it now on some prototypes for work, and it makes it really easy to show how the user will interact with the page, and between pages.

Great article on Boxes and Arrows.

Appropriate Fidelity

?Appropriate fidelity? refers to a level of prototype fidelity that allows you to achieve the goals you?ve set for doing a prototype in the first place. By varying the fidelity of your prototype along the dimensions of visual design and functionality, you make your prototype more effective at achieving some goals and less effective for others.

Ok, so Blogo comes through again. This time in the form of adding custom fields in the editor. Some of these fancy shmancy new WordPress themes use custom fields to achieve greater control over how information is displayed. I was wondering how Blogo would handle it. I guess pretty easily.

I really want to like Blogo. I just have to know it would be better to use than Mars Edit 2 (w/ customized template). I was reading that it was possible to create a custom template in Mars Edit that would basically allow previews that look like they will look on your site. Pretty cool. Blogo, on the other hand, actually does look like your site, because it generates live previews on the fly. As I’m typing this, there is an auto-refreshing preview on my other monitor where Blogo is showing me exactly what will be published on my site. Sweet. Worth $25? I don’t know.

I have 21 days left in my trial. Wonder if I can post 21 consecutive days, and see how it’s going to perform.

Someone should give me $25.

Interesting question. Are the communities you’re a part of tight? Or are they just “connections.” I can say I have both.
