Slacking and usability
- Posted by Kati on May 27th, 2003 filed in Lifeblog in english
I really need to make that new, more photo-based template for my site, because this one is just not right for posting photos. I am totally in awe of the new photojunkie design, i love its look, how it emphasizes photography, but is still a hybrid blog. Definitely an inspiration.
This whole needing a new template made me think of really how the usability and design of a system or tool you’re using determines how and how often we use it. Posting photos in the current movable type system is a pain, even though the upload feature and automatic thumbnail creation is a helpful gesture, but still, i need to click too many times and cut and paste too many times to post my photos the way i want them to be. So i start slacking and not posting as much as i would want to, because it’s just too complicated.
My last ever exam (not counting the big final graduation thing next January) in this college is tomorrow, and then i am free to do whatever i want to, and this is what i will do.

You’ve been hit by a Random Drive By Guestbook Signing! Pass it on! Isn’t it weird how people tend to want to redesign their layouts right around the changing of the seasons? Everyone is in the process (or has already) given their site a new look. Not that I should talk, I’m guilty too!
