Storyboard



This is our storyboard for our blog. It's taken so long for us to put one up cause our layout and color scheme, etc keep changing haha.

We started off using a template that not many other blogs use - emphasizing the vibe of our blog, that being the vibe of randomness. However we felt that the color scheme was not quite right. Hence we changed a few things. The text color is now a light blue. Titles are a bright yellow. And the links in the side bars alternate between medium dark green and black. We also changed the color of the background in the lower sidebar to match that of the top bar, simply for the sake of continuity.

Speaking of sidebars, let talk about the gadgets we've used shall we? Our about me section has been moved to the top of the sidebar and an image close to our hearts has been used as the profile pic. If you click on our profile you can find some info about the jobs each member of the buttonwiser squad performs.

Below the about me tool is the links to the 5 most recent posts on our blog. Coincidentally there are only 5 posts on our home page, so effectively this tool is just links to further down the page. If you can't find the post you want to read on the home page check out the archives, located as a drop down menu under the above tool.

In the 2nd sidebar are a list of our followers. After that is a live feed of the tweets Sarah posts on twitter. Every member of buttonwiser has posted tweets at one stage or another, but Sarah has posted the most.

After the twitter feed is our blog role. this is a list of all the blogs we follow, or have posted links to.

At the top of the page is a banner we staff have created. Under it is a text tool where the title and description of buttonwiser is located.

Over all, we believe that the color scheme of the blog is very easy on the eye and comforting and easy for the reader to see and the layout and use of gadgets allows easy navigation of the blog without over cluttering.

We think it was worth the trial and error to get the awesome layout we have now :D
