CommentOn the side, I help run a danish Wiki about comicbooks. I recently implemented a script that’ll show random search suggestions in the searchbox. Quite simply, whenever a page is loaded, the searchbox is pre-populated with a random search suggestion.
1 CommentTwitter just tweaked their design. Now it looks like this:
Purdy! A few things spring out immediately:
Rounded corners. CSS rounded corners. No beating around the bush here.

The tabs on the right seem a bit more discoverable [...]
6 CommentsAs if some universal law is at play, somehow, rounded corners (nearly) always manage to fix broken webdesigns. The problem is, they’re a bitch to make in HTML and CSS.
