Nick Dunn

User Experience Ninjaerobics

Shalom.

I am Head of User Experience at Airlock, a digital creative agency in London. We build hypertext products for big and little brands. I like to bookmark things that interest me. I also like to plan things, take photos of things I see, and tap my feet to a groove. I sometimes write rubbish, and write sense too. I have an online CV and I have an unhealthy penchant for Symphony CMS and social coding.

Archiving XML with Symphony

▪Symphony is an incredibly powerful CMS, but it's ability to cache dynamic XML feeds is lacking. In this article I explain a simple method of parsing a third-party XML feed and archiving its contents in native Symphony sections.2008.11.25

Focus on — Accessibility

▪WCAG 1.0 provides authors and developers with useful guidelines to follow to improve content accessibility; but following these rigidly can, on occasion, have the opposite effect.
