The HTML accesskey attribute can be used to assign a keyboard shortcut to a link or form control. The intention is to let keyboard users quickly navigate to different parts of a web page or trigger links to other pages.
Whether or not the accesskey attribute should be used at all is a debate that has been going on for years. I’m not going to go there in this article (see Providing Keyboard Shortcuts Using accesskey for a good explanation), but will instead focus on something you need to be aware of if you do use accesskey – values must be unique.
Responsive Web Design. Using fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries, Ethan Marcotte shows us how to embrace the “ebb and flow of things� with responsive web design.
User research doesn’t have to be expensive and time-consuming. With online applications, you can test your designs, wireframes, and prototypes over the phone and your computer with ease and aplomb. Nate Bolt shows the way.
Designers have coveted print for its precision layouts, lamenting the varying user contexts on the web that compromise their designs. Ethan Marcotte advocates we shift our design thinking to appropriate these constraints: using fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries, he shows us how to embrace the “ebb and flow of things” with responsive web design.
For many people, this is the first you’ve heard of this. We’ve not really spoke about WPBundle before, we’ve just had our heads down working hard on it for a few months now. WPBundle is a Bundle of WordPress Themes we’re busy building and we’ve just launched the WPBundle Progress Blog.
What is WPBundle
WPBundle or WordPress Bundle, is as it sounds, a WordPress Themes Bundle, built by Function. It will include 10 core themes, and multiple style variations. We’ll be adding style variations throughout the life of the project to offer you regularly updated designs to work with your themes, as well as core fixes and upgrades. Each theme has its own  design style and unique functionality. The idea is that the bundle will give you the chance to have a theme for any kind of site and style.
The Bundle will contain all sorts of extra treats, not to mention one massive set of icons that we’re designing especially for the set.
A Video Overview.
We’re giving you the chance to pre-order the themes, or just back us and show some support, so we’ve launched WPBundle through KickStarter. We made a video for this, which is a quick run down of what we’ve got planned.
Open Source Code
We’re going to be opening our code up to the public completely open source. The code behind our projects will be available to anybody to see, edit and tweak. We’re hoping to encourage community input and improvements as well as show our support for the WordPress community. On top of this anyone who purchases our themes will do so under GPL, giving them unlimited access to use the themes over and over again without restriction. We’re just trying to make the Bundle as easy and useful as possible.
Follow our Progress
While we build the themes, we want you to stay as involved as possible, which is why we’ve launched the Progress Blog. This is where we will keep regular updates as the Bundle is being finished off. We’ll also be updating via Twitter if you’d like to follow our progress that way.
Pre-Order & Back our Project
The WPBundle site is currently a progress blog. While we are busy working on finishing up the themes we’ll be releasing screenshots and updates for you to explore. On top of this we’re opening up the development process a little further to anybody who pre-orders the Bundle for $80.
Backing the project will give you access to receive the bundle a week before anyone else, as well as access to early theme beta’s and demos. In return we’re just looking for some useful and solid feedback and bug reports.
