Re: TxP.com home page

Really really great job! Tons of work incredibly well done. You can see the instinctive feeling for typography and attention to detail wherever you look. Countless hours spent and it’s been worth each minute.

As irrational as it is, this is now a brand I like to identify with.
Thanks to everyone who contributed!! :)

Re: TxP.com home page

Stuart, three more here ;)

A couple of remarks/questions regarding the weblog:

  • Shouldn’t the individual weblog articles have a posted date somewhere? Without it, if one happens to land on such a page, it’s not always evident that it may be an outdated article.
  • On the category pages: in my opinion dates without a year provide totally useless – if not confusing – information…

Regarding the slideshow:

  • On this image it shows ‘sort_display’ instead of ‘Sort and Display’…

The new site leaves no doubt that a lot of work has gone into it, hats off to all contributors!

Re: TxP.com home page

I agree with Els, unless the content is a “static” page, clear and complete dates are essential. Lack of—or partial—dates on content is an oft complained about problem on the web, especially by people referencing content.

Because of the international audience, I would recommend the format 29 Nov 2009, which clearly distinguishes the day from month and still keeps it relatively short by abbreviating the month and not using commas between values.

Problem this avoids:

  • US: mm/dd/yyyy (11/29/2009)
  • Europe: dd/mm/yyyy (29/11/2009)

In this case we know there’s no month value of 29, but what if the day was the 5th, for example:

  • 11/05/2009
  • 05/11/2009

Then it can easily be misinterpreted to your countries mode.

Of course there’s all kinds of ways to style dates too, but that’s the designers call, eh?
