Tunesisk kaffebrød

Mmm… Kager er så dejlige (også for en person med Diabetes!)! Jeg har besluttet at lave en ny kategori for kager – så får jeg lidt styr på mine opskrifter.

Jeg starter med en kage som jeg tror ikke er så slem med sukker – jeg har endnu ikke bagt den, men den får gode anmelselser der hvor jeg fandt den. Jeg købte lige en test hos bageren i Trøjborg centeret og her blev den godkendt!

Xara Web Designer – easy website creation for designer

So you are a creative mind? You dont know much about the tags of and the nature of a webpage? But still you would love to just design your and voila! put it on the web – as a valid based page, not flash, not an image! The answer is here: Xara Web Designer

Web Designer (XWD) is a very cheap application which fills the gab between designing websites and creating them in HTML. The idea is that you design your site with graphics like buttons, text-areas, menues and graphics. When you are done you simply publish the site to HTML!

The HTML code generated is valid HTML – using CSS to reproduce your (complex) design from the vector (!) based application. I myself am a frontend developer and I love to handcode HTML, CSS and javascript (ok, I said it!), so I know about validation of those elements. XWD published HTML is job well done IMHO!

Inserting dynamic elements
One thing which I specially like is the ability to insert placeholders in your design. You can then embed HTML/Javascript/CSS directly in your design. When the site is published the placeholders will contain your code – allowing you to have semi-dynamic contents in your website design.

How to do it?

Well you simply add an area and right click it.

Choose “Web properties…”.

Click on the tab “Placeholder” and select “Replace with HTML code”

Now paste your html into the textbox – voila!

Examples

QR code – information embedded in machin readable 2D barcode
Imagine that you put a small barcode on your webpage, this barcode contains your contact information in a graphic 2d barcode called a QR Code. Your cell phone and other applications can then scan the barcode and save this information about you (and your website)
Try embedding this in XWD:

A You Tube Video
Ofcause you can also embed a You Tube video!

Xara Web Designer Video Demos

has done it again! Created a brilliant application – this time a creation tool based on their excelant xtreme pro vector based drawing application. I must say this new application Web Designer is a winner!

Perhaps not for us professionel website implementing developers – but, I will perhaps use it when starting up a site, or for prototyping. Xara: You are the greatest! Can’t wait to get a copy! :-) (You know my e-mail over there in UK! ;-) ).
