World of Warcraft has been considered the best on-line role-playing game for several years. It became popular in 2004, immediately after is official release, and has gained the love of millions of people all over the world since that time. Today, this game numbers almost twelve million fans and continues addicting people, so this number is not the final one. The game belongs to the paid MMORPGs and monthly fee makes up about 15 or 16 US dollars. This fee gives you access to your account and let you play the game together with the game players from all countries. Considering the status and the quality of the game, this fee is not high at all and the game is worth paying it.
The main purpose of each World of Warcraft game player is to level up his or her character. Leveling is impossible without getting WoW gold, because everything that you can buy in the game and what you need to make your gaming performance enhanced and powerful. You can compete with other WoW players only if you are powerful enough and you cannot become powerful if you do not have enough WoW gold. So it is kind of a vicious circle, as you can seen, but one thing is undeniable – to become an outstanding WoW player, you need to have much gold and we are just about to consider the ways of getting it.
To begin with, you can use the simplest way of getting gold, which is available for everyone – grinding. Grinding is not generally popular among experienced WoW players, for it is time-consuming and tiresome. Most people are not diligent enough and cannot spend much time doing one and the same thing. If you feel like doing grinding, it can help you to get some gold for your needs.
The second way is trading. Leveling up, you get items, which can help you to improve your skills and performance. But it happens that these items are useless for your type of character and you don’t need them. You have several possible variants here. Firstly, you can sell these items at the Auction hous, iif you know, how to deal with it. Secondly, you can find people on the Internet, who are looking for items you have. Thirdly, you can sell these items to the WoW sellers on the Internet, who will be glad to buy them from you in exchange for real money or WoW gold.
Finally, you can kill mobs to get your World of Warcraft gold. Killing mobs is one of the most popular ways of gold making, because you tend to meet mobs quite often and they can drop much gold when you kill them.
Any of the offered ways can help you to make gold and it is up to you to decide, which one to choose to become WoW gold money-bags.

If you are planning to buy WoW accounts – beware, there are lots of traps. Find out how to find WoW accounts that are really worth the price and where to get the best WoW accounts.

Some Useful Advice On How To Create A ISkin

If you own an iPod, then you’ve got in all probability become irritated at the dearth of style and colours that are available right off the shelf with any iPod product. While their lesser product line comes in as several as 5 colours, their main merchandise-the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPod Video-still only return in one or 2 colors. If you’re trying to update the style of your phone, the answer, after all, is to make an iSkin.

If you are not acquainted with an iSkin, it is essentially a sticker that conforms to your device. It covers non-essential visible areas and typically has design or a style of some kind displayed on the external facing facet of the sticker. This suggests that the skin fits your device and transforms it from uninteresting to wow in just a jiffy of it slow with no danger of harming your device.

The process to make an ipod skins is actually almost as straightforward the process to apply it to your device. 1st, you may need to seek out the design or style that you would like to use for your skin. This design will be your own, but ought to positively be artwork that’s either free or that you’ll be able to acquire the rights to. Issues for the means that the buttons would possibly affect the design should be taken in order to blend the phone to the art-if it doesn’t appear like it would match along, it probably won’t. Finding the art is typically the hardest half of the process.

Once you have found the art you would like to use for your iSkin, you must notice a retailer that includes a skin creation software. These applications are usually found on the front page of the skin retailer’s website. While on this step, you ought to also look at the pricing of the opposite skins on the website; usually the value of the skins pre-made and the worth of the custom made skin are comparable, therefore finding a retailer with smart pricing now may facilitate to make sure a sensible price for your custom created skin.

Once you have cleared that hurdle, the rest could be a very simple process. You must be in a position to pick your device in the application to create your iSkin-and you’ll need to make certain that you decide on the proper device. Choosing the incorrect device at this stage will offer you a skin that does not match your device and thus does not match your needs. Once you’ve got the right device selected, you ought to be able to upload and add artwork to your device and the application should show you the method that it can look. Move the image round the device until you get the fit that you wish for your skin. Do not forget that skins don’t seem to be restrcited to Ipod, you can get personlised laptop covers for your laptops and also blackberry skins for your mobile phones like your blackberry.

Once you have match the skin to your device, all that’s left to try and do is to get the skin. Once the skin comes in, it’s a easy method to add it to your device: peel and stick. That is all there’s to skinning and to obtaining a fabulously unique device.

Your Website Design Sucks Because… Users Can’t Find Crap!

I know ayh! A great title to start of another year of C2.0 Web Design Blog! : -)

To kick off the new year in Web Design, I thought it would be best to go through a couple of my tell-tale signs that can help you gauge if and when your website’s design sucks. Obviously, “Website design” in this concept does not only include the graphical elements of the page, but of course the Information architecture, usability, accessibility, etc. So without further ado– Let’s get going with round one of “Your website design sucks because…” with Your website design sucks because users can’t find crap!
1. What the heck are you thinking?!

Whether or not you are running a corporate information site or a 15,000 page e-Commerce store- your content should be easy to find! The biggest problem is people think that you ALWAYS need a search box. Search on a website comes in many flavours, and sure; a search box would be awesome- as long as the results are easy to understand and filter to the right place. Having said that, not all great websites have search boxes or website search for that matter – but most if not all of them [great websites, that is] make the user experience worthwhile by making their content easy to find. Here are a few tips:

* If you are running a blog, make sure there is at least a way for the user to find an archive of all your content. After all, one of the main calling-cards, if you like – of a blog, is the fact that it is a chronological listing of posts or entries. Other important elements that help users searching for content is Tags and Categories. Try to make sure your posts only belong to one parent category. I.e. Not “Sydney Web Design” AND “Web Design” — after all, 99% of the time, one of the two (or more) categories makes the most sense. Tags help users by allowing to search for other posts which they might find interesting based on a common interest; i.e. Usability.

* If you are running a website; other than a web log , make sure that there is a common, geographical structure to your pages. I.e. there should always be the same header and footer on all pages – including any side-navigation or side elements. Doing this makes sure that users learn where things are and helps elevate any problems in looking for things all over your website.

2. Some conventional wisdom

Most webmasters and/or designers usually get search from a UI point of view under control. I mean come on! It’s basically three elements– A label “search for:”, a text box, usually pre-filled with “type query here” or something of the sort, and finally a “go/search/find” submit button… Easy, right? Wrong! Whilst the front-end features of site search are seen as simple, most websites/intranets (even the big players) crash and burn on the search results page.
3. A case study in Search Usability: Australia Post

Ahh, good old Australia Post! I love the fact that they deliver to anywhere in the world and the prices are not too bad — and I haven’t had anything major get lost whilst sending out *so far*. However, one thing that drives me insane about Australia Post is their website; http://www.austpost.com.au — not only is this website in need of a “major” overhaul. Let’s start with the essentials of this particular topic; Search.

The search on AustPost is located at: http://search.auspost.com.au. Nothing wrong with that so far- In fact, it’s smart to have search on either a sub-domain or a sub-folder at search.domain.com or domain.com/search. Moving right along. Oh wait! That domain does not work (Under Construction!!) unless you append the following to it: “/cse/auspost/” making the FULL-URI http://search.auspost.com.au/cse/auspost/ – Tsk, tsk AP!

If you type “test” in the search box and click the search button of the main page you get diverted to a search results page; which is okay so far– However, the diverted results page is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT website (in terms of overall look and feel). Check it out for yourself.
Australia Post Search Box – Main Page

Australia Post Search Box – Main Page

All good so far… Let’s see what happens when we get diverted to the ‘actual’ search page.
Australia Post Search Results Page – Search.austpost.com.au

Australia Post Search Results Page – Search.austpost.com.au

Oops! Something went completely wrong. Did I, as the user kill the site? Or is it meant to be a completely different site followed by a completely different user experience? [Both valid questions you don't need a visitor to your website, especially your search page asking!].

As Homer Simpson would say in a time of crisis; Doh! Different Logo, Different colour scheme, Different tab system, Different IA… Well, at least the logo is generally in the same place as before. Granted, I don’t know the reasoning behind this– Maybe they are in the process of moving sites across to a newer(?) design – but nonetheless, I think being a government corporation, this is pretty bad usability!
Anyway, let’s move right along… As if that first problem wasn’t bad enough, let’s see the search results form. Below is a screenshot of the “general” search form. By general search form I’m referring to the non-advanced variety!
Search Results Box

Search Results Box

Wow, okay — where to start, where to start. Let’s rattle off some of the issues with this search box/form.

1. Why have a “Show search options >>” as well as “‘Advanced Search”. That is not only confusing, but a waste of visual space/real estate. Why not make general search easy to use with no extra-ordinary features, and leave advanced search for those people that need to dig deeper into the data mine. Ahhh, I slowly started to realise why, and you will see why soon!

2. See the “Select All” and “Clear All” check boxes? They only select/deselect one option — and that is the “Australia Post Website” check box. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING AUSTPOST DESIGNERS/DEVELOPERS!!! Give me three good reasons why this is necessary on this page (in its current format) and I will stop using Facebook for a month… Okay, a week! :) Not only is this stupid from a usability/IA point of view, but it’s NOT needed here. Why?, you ask?

1. When you actually decide to click on “Search” you really DON’T end up having a choice in the matter, because the “Australia Post Website” check box is auto-ticked when the page has reloaded with the search results! Oh Oh!

2. It’s a waste of a control to begin with! The same thing could be easily achieved with one button which toggles through the selections. I.e. starts off as “Select all options” then changes to “De-select all options” upon click… However…

3. There is NO need for the control at all since there is NO other option/area to search from. I.e. If there was “Australia Post Website” and “Australia Post PO Box Search”, etc., then it would make sense — however, there is no other option!

3. The “Exact Phrase” check box control is USELESS in all formats of the word! In theory, the “Exact phrase” should let you search for the term “test” instead of the term test. What this ultimately means is that in reality, “Exact Phrase” should only find the search query if it exists EXACTLY in that format, and not part of other words, or as part of a phrase, etc. The only problem with this is that selecting “Exact Phrase” does NOT change the result set; in essence, returning the SAME number of results as well as in the same order! Yay for happy searching — Not!

4. Clicking “Show search options >>” reveals two fields/controls which are apparently meant to help the user whilst searching but not be enough to warrant the name “Advanced Search”. When you click this link, two new fields pop down; a) Format, and b) Modified. Fair enough, you say. They are letting the user choose what type of file format to search; i.e. PDF, Word, etc. as well as the ‘age’ of the document(s) in question or when they were last updated. So what’s the problem here? Let’s take a peek!
Search Results – Modified drop-down

Search Results – Modified drop-down

Wow! That’s probably the best word to describe this drop-down. Sure, Australia Post must feel great giving thier users so many options to choose from, but on what planet would you be from if you need THAT many options in sorting last modified periods? Surely, a) “Anytime”, b) Past 24 hours, c) Past week, d) Past month, and e) Past year – would suffice? No? Granularity of options is something worth your time as an Information architect or Website designer/developer investing in! The more options you give the user that they don’t necessarily need or will never use, the more they have to think. The experience should not make them think! Just give them results, and quick!

5. Don’t even get me started on the “Advanced Search” link! Let’s just say that it’s a little more advanced than what an “advanced search” needs to be. So much so that a PhD in Comp. Science would definitely help! I mean for Pete’s sake, there is a field called “Custom query” which lets you, quote “Create a query using search operators (and, or, not, near, quotes and parenthesis) and system fields.” unquote! WHAT THA?!?! Sure, I may get it, hell you might even get it as a developer or designer, but your average Joe who might need just that little bit more input into his or her search would most likely freak out! Take it off PLEASE! I’m not searching the CIA Central Repository here, people!

3. In conclusion…

Okay, so I must admit at this point in time that I’m getting a little bit more critical and more importantly a touch “harsher” in my blogging and reviews — but I think it’s important to look at problems like these that normal web browsers would AND DO encounter on a day-to-day basis surfing the Interweb! So hopefully you have picked up a few pointers from this blog post that will help you with your upcoming search page design/re-design. Remember, these are above all just some ideas of what not to do, but the field is huge! Make sure you get people with limited Internet experience to trial all software you create (if possible!) but more importantly, keep in mind some of these ideas for next time and I’m sure your users will thank you!

Wow Leveling Guide

After you have installed World of Warcraft and created your human character (preferably human/allience) you’ll be at level 1. Assuming that you play a human character on Allience side, North Shire Glade will be your starting point. Start your game with getting to know the area you’re in. Some wolve killing quests can be picked in this area. You will see big number of wolves in the area around your.Keep up the wolf grinding right till you finish the quest. Keep on grinding them till you’re at level 3. That was not hard, was it?

Right next to the Church there is a vendor who can help you sell all the loot, buy new items and repair your armor and weapons once you get to level 3. This will sure help you on later. Repearing your items is very important. If you have damaged items on you, which you eventually will while completing quests, you get penalized with your character’s stats. Having your attack and defense stats on low level will make you easier to kill, as well as decrease damage that you while in combat. You’re now ready to go on your first actual quest. Pick up A Threat Within quests and then do the follow-up quest called “Kobold Camp Cleanup”. To understand how WoW quest system works, do those simple quests. Doing quests is very important, as it gives you several benefits. First you get experience, which is the main factor in leveling. Notice that to reach next level you need some XP. Money is another bonus you get from questing. Money is needed to repair items and buy new goods. After you’ve completed these quests, you’ll be ready to take on two more quests, Eagen Peltskinner and Wolves Across the Border.

Now you’re ready to level further. Once you get eight Thought Wolf Meats in your back pack, you’re ready to turn in the quest and become a level four. Grinding Kobold’s will get you up to level 4. All the armor and weapons you wear on your characters will become damaged while you do the grinding. Repair them proptly and don’t forget to do so. Otherwise it will slow down your leveling process. Once you’re there, you’ll need to turn in your quests and then take the next one that is offered to you. Often it’s a pity to turn in the quest and have some eperience points left untill the next level. By grinding Kobold Worlers in that area you’ll quickly get to level 5. Don’t forget to gather all loot items you can get from grinding. Repairing needs can be payed for by copper, which can be gathered by selling those items.

The next seven quest you’ll get will jump you to the 7th level upon completion. Was it easy, wasn’t it. Just note that the more you play World of Warcraft, the harder it’ll get to gather experience points for the next level. Doing these quests will be easy and will not take much of your personal time. Cool idea is to grind whenever you see a mob to help you gain experience in the fast maner. It is easy, because every time you take on the next quest, you’ll have to run to some area. So don’t miss any grinding apportunity while you go to your next journey.

To get from level seven to thirty is a pretty straightforward process. Taking all the quests offered and finishing them will result in follow quests, which is important. You will always be directed to new questing zones, becuase of the way WoW is set up. You can earn more experience points with the help of grinding.But remember one small thing – leveling with quests is always faster then by grinding. Untill you level up to about 60, conceptrating on doing quests will yield more xp points for your character. To read the complete guide go to our WOW Leveling Guide Page.
