A few words on the Herald’s little blue box

By Julie Starr | Published: September 8, 2008
One of the things I like about nzherald.co.nz is the blue tinted panel that appears in story pages and lists other headlines you can click directly through to. I like it because I can work my way through a dozen stories without having to click back to the homepage or section page in between each one - something that drives me nuts on other news sites.

This piece about Harold Evans is a nice read (thanks to Chris Bourke for the link).

By Julie Starr | Published: February 17, 2008
I got back last night from a really productive week in Wellington meeting people and attending Webstock, a conference for web designers but universally relevant. A big thank-you to the organisers: the event was well-run, aside from highly patchy wi-fi, and turned out to be an engaging, useful and enjoyable couple of days.
