A Boilerplate For Responsive Websites – The Goldilocks Approach

Advertise here with BSA


The Goldilocks Approach is a boilerplate/starting point for creating responsive websites.

It offers a slightly different practice from the most other responsive design frameworks which is: "targeting every resolution/device rather than only the popular ones".

The Doldilocks Approach

The boilerplate uses a combination of ems, max-width, media queries and pattern translations to consider just three states:

  • multi column (too big space)
  • narrow column (too small space)
  • single column (just right space).

which allow the designs to be resolution independent.

It includes a HTML file, 2 well-commented CSS files (with nice typographic defaults -including print contexts-) and Modernizr.

Wherefore Art Thou, Widgets?

We need your opinion! One of the features we’re adding to WordPress 3.3 (currently in beta 3) is intended to reduce widget pain. Say you’re using Theme A and you have a handful of widgets set up. You switch to Theme B, and it has different widget areas, so you add/remove/edit your widgets. Then you realize that you hate Theme B. “This theme doesn’t represent my innermost soul!” you cry to the heavens. You switch back to Theme A, but because it had different widget areas, now your widgets are messed up. Argh, right? Not for long!

Imagine being able to change themes and modify widgets as needed, and if you decided to go back to your old theme, it would return your widgets to how they were the last time you had that theme activated.  Sounds good, yeah? The problem we’re facing is deciding how long to save the old widget configuration, since there are so many potential workflows. If you changed From Theme A to Theme B and added more widgets over the next few weeks, if you switched back to Theme A after a month, would you still expect it to go back to the widgets from a month ago? At what point does it go from handy timesaver to unexpected widget mangler?  What do you think?

HTML5 Video Player Framework (By Microsoft)

Advertise here with BSA


Player Framework is an open source video player framework for HTML5, Silverlight, Windows Phone and other platforms.

It offers a JavaScript API for controlling the player where the API methods are the same on both the HTML5 and Silverlight versions.

Such a consistency is very handy for using any of the versions as a fallback of the other with almost no extra coding.

HTML5 Player Framework

The framework has support for playlists using an array of media items or using a link to a media RSS feed.

W3C timed text (TTML) for captions can be used and there are controls like volume, mute, fullscreen, poster-displaying.

Player Framework is modular, can be extended easily and its look/feel can be customized using CSS.
