Screencast: WordPress Plug-In Demo

Jeremy Zawodny got a WordPress plug-in demo from CrowdFavorite.com co-founder Alex King. Crowd Favorite offers web-based task management software in packages to fit just about everyone.



The recently released Yahoo! Shortcuts WordPress Plug-In acts like a blogging assistant, scanning your post for interesting things it can link to, photos to include, maps to embed, and more. And it does this using many of our APIs (Maps, Flickr, Search, etc.). With just a simple mouse click, you can include the material in your post and get on with life.

UED: Pattern Library w/ Christian Crumlish

Recently, Christian Crumlish, the curator of Yahoo!'s design pattern library, gave a User Experience Design (UED) brown bag talk here at Yahoo! called "The Design Pattern Library Wants YOU!" updating folks on our recent developments, our current processes, and how they can get involved.He talked about both our internal pattern library and the open one hosted on the Developer Network


Because Christian hears a lot of requests on mailing lists and blogs from designers and developers at conferences who are curious about how the pattern library has evolved since Yahoo! first launched it and how we manage the pattern development and publishing process, we're pleased to be able to share this talk as part of YDN Theater with just a very few sensitive topics omitted.
