I must admit to being influenced by blog templates greatly at the moment. Which is why I’m having great fun with a new work intranet system I’m developing. Picks yer style, makes yer smile. I may even put some ‘hidden’ extras (easter eggs, I think they’re called) for those that want them, involving people from work … hmm, ideas ahoy.
This also links in with my general excitement about web applications. How many other programs do you use where you can “skin” it with a single click, and even develop your own skins very easily? OK, OK, Winamp, Firefox etc. But they are all freeware/open source things (we open source people tend to be interested in making the whole of a program a positive user experience) so have thousands, perhaps millions, of potential developers and beta testers. Still, it’s an exciting area to be working in. Do you want screenshots? OK, they’ll be here in the next post…
