That is the question! And if you write what should you write about?
Today I had a minor argument with Eleni, my colleague, about what I should post in my new blog here. Two days ago I have developed a nice navigation menu with fading mouseover effects using jquery and some very simple XHTML and CSS. I know that there are hundreads of examples of navigation menus out there and that some of them implement the same techniques I used to create mine, there is a good chance that the same menu might actually exist somewhere else as well.
My argument was that even if the same menu exists somewhere else the way that you demonstrate the idea is also a very important factor on how will the reader, or the developer on this occassion, perceive it. I came across many examples of jquery/html/css effects and I can tell from my experience that some of them were just “all greek” to me.
So that is my question! To post or not to post something that might already exist somewhere else but I have designed from scratch using ideas that came from somewhere else. ?
To write, or not to write!
