How to add a Delicious Bookmarklet on my iPad with Safari

UPDATED: Code was update and now works.

I have started to use my iPad to browse the Internet more often and I needed a way to add Delicious bookmarks.

So here is how to add a delicious bookmarklet for Safari on your iPad.

- Click on to add the current page to Bookmarks. Change the title to “Delicious Bookmark” and then click Save. We’ll need to add the current page to get a bookmark going and then we’ll edit the bookmark as follows.

- Select and copy the following javascript:

javascript:(function()%7Bf=’http://delicious.com/save?url=’+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+’&title=’+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+’&v=5&’;a=function()%7Bif(!window.open(f+’jump=doclose’,'deliciousuiv5′,’location=yes,links=no,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,width=550,height=550′))location.href=f+’jump=yes’%7D;if(/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent))%7BsetTimeout(a,0)%7Delse%7Ba()%7D%7D)()

- Open Safari Bookmarks list, then click on Edit. Select the Delicious Bookmark. In the link field delete the current text and paste the code that your just copied from the clipboard.

- Then click on Done, and that’s it. Now you will be able to add a bookmark to Delicious while browsing in Safari on your iPad.

Politics4All Workshop Name Badges

October 4 · 1 comment

in Design, Politics4All

Early this morning I woke up and had an idea for our name badges at our first workshop. I find that name badges at conferences are always hard to read and with a background in civil engineering I decided to create a name badge with the fonts that are used on the highway signs. Highway signs are designed to be read from as far away as possible and always present the most important information biggest and boldest. The fonts used on highway signs were developed through a decade of research starting in the early 1990′s.

So I was on the hunt for the Clearview font that is used for roadway signage. The Clearview font was developed by a design team that has received interim approval by the Federal Highway Administration for use in road guide signs. Yaffa at the New York Times wrote an article about how roads signs are changing, The Road to Clarity.

Name Badge #1
