Why Your Links Should Never Say “Click Here” - UX Movement

Tue, 06/26/2012 - 23:26 -- rprice

Next time you find yourself thinking about using the words “click” or “here” on your links, remember the effects it’ll have on the user experience. The challenge is to make your links say “click here” without actually saying “click here”, and there are many ways to do this. It will take some thought and effort on your part, but in the end, your users will benefit with a better experience of your interface. You can take the easy way out and use “click here” on your links, or you can spend some time to find the right phrasing for your links that’ll click with your users.

Author UX - Known problems | Bojhan Somers

Mon, 06/18/2012 - 08:44 -- rprice

Previewing is a big part of creating content, and people are currently very confused by preview being shown in the back-end instead of front-end.
The meta tools we present users; menu, revisioning, authoring information are cumbersome and often result to conflicting mental models.
Text formats are still somewhat of a mystery to most of our users, they miss a WYSIWYG editor.
The lack of a common workflows like save as draft is a disappointment.
Tools for moderating content are almost non existent, our filters are hard to use and search is non existent.

Multistep | drupal.org

Thu, 01/19/2012 - 14:53 -- rprice

Multistep adds multiple-step functionality to content type editing forms. It does so by assigning a step number to each fieldgroup within the content type and hiding all the groups that do not belong to the current step. The user can then use different submitting buttons that will redirect to the previous, next, or current step.
