The day 6 photo subject was “soft”. Now, I am a stuffed animal addict and have them all over my apartment. Seriously. On my bed. On my night stand. In a basket in the corner. On my living room end table. For a while, on my dining room table. (I later decided that was a little excessive.) So, my subject matter for today’s photo was immediately obvious for me.

OK, this story is a little gross. Day 5’s photo subject was “something you smelled”. I woke up this morning thinking of different possibilities: Burning a candle. Baking cookies. Finding some girly hand lotion.

Day four. It has been a busy month (yes, already) and I have not had as much time as I would have liked lately to go to the gym. For those of you who know me, I am a little addicted (and fully admit it!). This month will hopefully be one where I get back on track and start training for my (second!) half marathon, coming up in June!

Weekends are busy enough for me. Add the Superbowl on top of that and… well… you get my photo-a-day a day late. Day 3’s subject was “something that starts with the letter ‘e’”. This was harder than it sounds. I was talking pictures of “e” objects all over the place and was not happy with any of them. Then, finally, I walked into my home office and found what I was looking for.

And here is my photo for day 2! Today’s photo subject is “pattern”. I have a lot of doilies around my house, most of which are from my mom. This is one of them, currently sitting on my living room table.

I decided to try something different with my blog (or… do something with my blog). I found a blog post about a photo-a-day challenge for February and decided to give it a shot. OK, I am a day late starting this, but here it goes.

This is just another example of why Internet Explorer 7 (and earlier) needs to die. I have been working on a project where a group of images needs to be displayed on a page, four at a time in a carousel. The site uses YUI 2.7, so naturally, I am using YUI Carousel to implement this.
Adding a character limit to a text area using YUI
29 July 2011
In the UI world, it is a good idea to let the users know about any constraints they have on any form fields. We all know this. There are a million ways to do this – through error messages, help text, and so on. For character limits on input fields, the best way to avoid a user error is to limit the number of characters the user can physically type in the field.

I know what you are probably thinking. You want to use YUI 3 inside YUI 2? Really? Why not just upgrade to YUI 3 altogether?

Ever since I started my consulting gig, I have been learning so many new (or, rather, new to me) technologies. Most of my learning experiences have centered around Javascript libraries – namely jQuery and YUI. In light of the fact that I’ve only been consulting for about 9 months now, I’m going to preface this entire post with the fact that I definitely do not consider myself an expert in either of these libraries.
