Local coding environments are great, but it’s often the case that I don’t want to crack open Espresso and spend a few minutes setting up to code when all I really want is to test out an idea or work on a bug. Also, sharing options for most local coding apps are limited and typically require integrating an outside app like Dropbox.

Online playgrounds or sandboxes such as jsFiddle solve this problem by providing you with an instantly ready coding environment for you to begin experimenting in as soon as the page loads. These tools let you combine CSS, HTML and often even JavaScript to create and share coding examples. I’m completely addicted to these things and have extensively tested every one I can get my hands on. Today I’ll go over my five favorites and discuss not only why what I like about each option, but also where they fall short.

CSSDesk

I’ll start with CSSDesk because it’s one of the oldest on this list. It’s been around for years now as a quiet and obscure little tool that is extremely helpful for playing with basic web code. CSSDesk is a very simple tool that focuses purely on HTML and CSS.

What I Like About CSSDesk

There are a lot of things that I just love about CSS Desk. There are three main sections: HTML, CSS and live preview, the sizes of which can all be easily tweaked with a click and drag. I like that you can easily see everything you need in one simple view. There’s no effort or setup here, just load the page and start creating.

There’s also basic syntax highlighting just like all of the other tools on this list. However, one fairly unique feature that you don’t often see in these types of tools is line numbers. It’s such a simple addition but I tend to like line numbers so I really appreciate the inclusion.

The toolbar features are pretty cool as well, providing some options that you simply don’t find other places. In addition to the standard sharing feature, you also have the option to download what you just built. Further, there’s a set of default tiling background textures that are applied if you don’t manually override them. These are fun if you’re just building a button or widget of some kind and want something other than the typical plain white background.

What I Don’t Like About CSSDesk

Honestly, there’s not much to dislike about this one. Sure, it’s simple and doesn’t have some of the fancy features the other options have, but that’s also what makes it great. I hardly ever use this one anymore but every time I do it’s so nice I think I should stop by more often.

The biggest downside for hardcore coders is the lack of JavaScript support. If this is a deal breaker for you, try checking out one of the other options.

JS Bin

JS Bin is another popular place to tinker around with your code. The design of this app is quite minimal and really allows you to focus on the code. By default, the page only shows the HTML and live preview panes, but you can easily add JavaScript to that as well.

What I Like About JS Bin

There are quite a few nice features on JS Bin. The first thing that I found myself appreciating is the fact that refreshing the page doesn’t kill your work. The preview updates automatically but for those rare times when you do need a manual refresh, it’s nice that your first instinct (Command-R) doesn’t result in the accidental loss of an hour’s worth of tinkering.

As with CSSDesk, you save, share and download your work. The place where this obviously pulls ahead though is the JavaScript implementation. You can obviously enter your own JS but as a bonus you can choose to include popular libraries like jQuery.

Another cool feature is the ability to control which panes you see by manipulating the URL. For instance, “http://jsbin.com/#javascript,html,live” will get you all three panes while “http://jsbin.com/#html,live” will just get you two.

What I Don’t Like About JS Bin

To be honest, JS Bin is my least favorite option on this list. It’s not bad, but it definitely lacks the charm of the others. One thing that always gets me is that there’s no dedicated place for CSS, forcing you to embed it into your HTML. This works just fine, but it’s not as nice as the intentional separation seen in the other options.

jsFiddle

jsFiddle has completely taken off in the past few months to a year and is probably the most popular option on this list at the moment. And for good reason, this is one amazing app. Let’s face it, once you dig into jsFiddle, you may never look at any of the other options again.

What I Like About jsFiddle

There are a ton of great things to cover in my list of reasons why you should use jsFiddle. First up is the layout. There are four panels (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and preview) so you can see everything you need to at once and resize each area on the fly. The layout system here feels really flexible and is actually sort of fun to play with.

While we’re discussing panels, you can customize the CSS and JavaScript panels to utilize your favorite third party tools. You’ll find support for the Sass SCSS syntax and CoffeeScript.

jsFiddle lets you create a login and view a dashboard of your past saved work. There are a ton of menu options and tools once you’ve saved a fiddle, my favorites are the ability to quickly create a fork and the option to automatically tidy up your messy code structure.

In addition to the panel customization options, the sidebar has a bunch of other great features as well. For instance, you can quickly add both any major libraries that you want to include (jQuery, MooTools, etc.) and your own JavaScript/CSS resources.

One last amazing jsFiddle option that I only just discovered the other day: you can embed fiddles into a webpage. This option is found under the share menu and is a great alternative to other code embedding services.

What I Don’t Like About jsFiddle

My main beef with jsFiddle is the lack of an auto update option for the preview. Once you’ve used all the other options on this list and experienced the joys of auto update, it’s hard to put up with manual refreshes every few seconds in jsFiddle.

As far as other features go, it’s the best on the list but that one annoyance often drives me elsewhere if I just want to bust out a quick test. Keyboard shortcuts help, but they’re still not as nice as something automatic.

Dabblet

Dabblet is a fairly new kid on the block in this genre. Like CSSDesk, it focuses on only HTML and CSS with no JavaScript. However, don’t count it out because it brings some serious innovation to the table that you won’t find in any other editor.

What I Like About Dabblet

By default, Dabblet is split into three tabs: CSS & Result, HTML & Result and Result. This provides flexibility and focus while allowing you to always keep an eye on the result.

You can change things up with the controls shown below. The split can be vertical, horizontal or taken out completely. There’s also an interesting “behind code” mode where your result is simply the background for the coding area. Notice there’s also a message about using prefix-free. I use Dabblet all the time and never noticed this until just now! This means that you don’t have to use crazy vendor prefixes and can code the simple defaults, the hidden JavaScript will make sure your browsers interprets it correctly.

Dabblet has some great saving options as well such as “save anonymously.” It also links to your GitHub account, which coding nerds like will love.

My favorite Dabblet feature is the super slick hover effect integration in the CSS. They’re easier to show that describe. Here two few examples:

As you can see, hovering over certain bits of CSS brings up these little tooltips that are really great. You can get previews for fonts, colors, sizes, and even images.

What I Don’t Like About Dabblet

Dabblet is a bit quirky from a visual perspective, you either love it or hate it. I personally really enjoy using it but really wish that I had more control over the panel size. Having an auto 50/50 split is great, but I should be able to manually adjust that however I choose.

As far as I know, there’s also no way to view your HTML and CSS at the same time, which is a little annoying if you’re used to options like jsFiddle where you can keep an eye on everything at once.

Tinkerbin

Tinkerbin is the closest alternative to jsFiddle that I’ve found. Though it doesn’t have all of the fancy features found in jsFiddle, it has a few tricks of its own that are really nice.

What I Like About Tinkerbin

The default panel layout on Tinkerbin is probably my favorite on this entire list. It’s a very logical layout that puts the code on the left and a nice big auto-updating preview on the right. The HTML, CSS and JavaScript sections are all stacked on top of each other, with optional tabs that allow you to focus on just one of these.

Further, Tinkerbin supports even more alternate syntax options than jsFiddle. You can choose HTML or HAML; CSS, SCSS (with Compass), the old SASS syntax or LESS; and JavaScript or CoffeeScript. Needless to say, if you dig preprocessors, this is the option for you.

Tinkerbin is the only option that allows you to swap out your preview for a nice, extensive “View Source” window.

What I Don’t Like About Tinkerbin

Even more so than Dabblet, the Tinkerbin layout is completely rigid. Sure, I like the default setup the best, but sometimes I want to make that preview wider and I simply don’t have the option here.

Further, the saving options aren’t the best. There’s no account setup, dashboard, GitHub integration, etc. You simply save your experiments to a shortened URL.

Conclusion

By now I’m sure you can see the benefits of having a few of these sites bookmarked. I encourage you to experiment as often as possible with new ideas to keep yourself fresh and these services provide an awesome way to do it.

I hope this review has served as a helpful look into the details of each of these solutions. You should now know not only what makes each option unique but also where each falls short. This will help you make an informed decision about which one or two to primarily focus on.

I personally bounce back and forth with all of them fairly regularly but lately I’ve been hanging out mostly in jsFiddle, Dabblet and Tinkerbin. Which of these is your favorite and why?

Facebook announced Jan. 24 that it will be moving all users to the timeline format in the next few weeks. Although the change will be mandatory soon, you can make it early as some users have been doing since it was launched in September. Timeline is the new Facebook “wall” and highlights your personal information based on when it happened.

The biggest visual change included in Facebook timeline is creation of a cover photo. When someone lands on your page they not only see a small square profile image but also a large photo that you have selected for the top of your page. The shape can a little intimidating and includes a hole where the profile image rests. But you can crop or create your own timeline cover photo in just a few minutes. Follow along as we take a look at some great examples and advice for creating the perfect cover photo.

Select a Cover Image Technical Specs

The cover photo covers the width of the timeline but does not change size based on browser width. It remains 720 pixels wide. The photo is 265 pixels deep, but gains a little added depth with the addition of the profile photo box. Because of the size requirement, Facebook recommends uploading a high resolution photo for the cover image and acknowledges that all photos, especially those will low resolutions, can be used as a cover photo.

But those numbers might be a little hard to work with. A standard photo print is 6 inches wide by 4 inches high. For comparison, the Facebook timeline cover image aspect ratio is about 4 inches wide and 1.5 inches high. For your cover photo you will crop nearly half of the vertical space out of the image.

You do not have to have a pre-cropped image available in Facebook to create the cover photo. As long as any photo is wide enough to cover the space, Facebook will let you drag the photo within the cover image box for use. But just any old picture is not going to make a striking cover image. For a timeline cover with pop, you need to take the extreme horizontal aspect ratio into consideration.

Crop a Photo

Sort through your digital images to find something that you think represents you well. It can be a large headshot, you and a group of friends or a photo from your travels. When looking at photos, keep that super-horizontal shape in mind and remember that part of the bottom left of the photo will be covered.

Open the image in photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop and set cropping constraints. With the Constrained Crop Tool, you can see exactly what your photo will look like before cropping. Many find it easier to work using the proper aspect ratio in inches. Select the crop tool and then select 4 inches for the width and 1.5 inches for the height. (You will shave a sliver off the top or bottom of the photo using this method.) Crop using full resolution.

Save your and upload to Facebook. You do not have to shrink the image to 720 pixels before uploading and remember to upload using high resolution. When adding a cover photo for the first time, click “Add a Cover” on your timeline; to change an existing cover photo, select “Change Cover” in the bottom right corner of the cover photo.

Create an Image

You can also create an image for your cover in the same way you would crop. Start with a blank canvas that is about 4 inches wide by 1.5 inches high at a high resolution (300 dpi or higher).

Remember to leave space for the profile photo. It is positioned in the bottom left corner of the cover image and sits near the left corner and mortises into the image.

If you create your own image, you may consider adding a watermark or digital signature, such as a website address somewhere on the image. That way others are less likely to steal your work if you do not intend for it to be available for public distribution and if it is stolen, you will still get credit for the design.

Download an Image

A variety of websites are beginning to post Facebook timeline photos for download.

The Detroit Free Press posted one just for Lions fans on their Facebook page. Designers at the newspaper created the timeline image with fans in mind. Using your profile photo you are almost inserted into the cover photo. They also used it as an opportunity to push branding as well, incorporating their logo into the image.

Several other websites, such as WhataTimeline.com and fbProfileCovers.com have a variety of premade, pre-cropped cover images available for free download.

What Works Well

Look for images that are sharp and crisp when selecting a cover photo. Remember this picture is going to be large and details will show. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg uses a tight crop of a dog; Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow uses a photo from a game.

Pick something unique. Although there are a lot of ways to grab timeline cover images, they will not really reflect what you do. If you are not comfortable with a giant photo of yourself, showcase some of your work or create an image just for Facebook. Comedian Dan Cook uses his image to promote his work.

Remember the placement of your profile photo. Select a cover image that uses space well. Opt for something that has the “meat” of the picture to the right or top of the photo so that the square cutout does not cover the image being showcased. TV personality and former model Tyra Banks’ page uses the space well with her face positioned in one side of the cover photo.

For a twist on the cover photo and profile photo combination, try to merge the images in a unique way. Facebook user Enri Pedernera created an image where he was part of the popular game Angry Birds and Mohammad L. Azzam created another fun image linking his profile and cover photos.

A Few Things to Avoid

Avoid images that are pixelated, such as the cover photo from former NFL player and current Fox analyst Michael Strahan. The placement of the cover photo is also distracting and the profile photo ends up in a quite unfortunate part of the cover photo. Strahan’s image is in the top left above this profile picture and the part of the image where the eye is drawn contains no visual information that would suggest the photo is of him.

Stay away from images that might be offensive or showcase you or your work in a negative light. Also, avoid images that are widely distributed such as those shared on current Facebook walls or in mass emails. The profile image is visible to the public, according to Facebook, as are profile images or past profile and cover photos.

Conclusion

Facebook’s new timeline feature is about a lot more than just photos and while the reviews are mixed, you can get ahead of the curve by hopping on board with an impressive image. It only takes a few minutes and a little photo editing.

Remember that the image you choose is a representation of your digital self and should be considered carefully. Even though most of your profile may be limited to friends, the cover image is not. Take a peek at what your friends and groups you like are doing with their cover photos to help spark a little imagination.

Facebook is giving users seven days to preview their own timelines before they go public. So take a couple days to experiment with different photos and find something that works best for you.

This is the third part in our series all about making fun of design related clichés that drive us all crazy. We’ve already picked on designers plenty with 5 Former Design Trends That Aren’t Cool Anymore and 5 Cliché Logo Design Trends to Avoid, now it’s time to turn around and give some attention to all the crazy things that clients say to their designers.

We put out the word on Twitter and asked for some of the worst things that you hear again and again from clients. The following are some of our favorites.

Like the article? Be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed and follow us on Twitter to stay up on recent content.

Make It Pop

“Make it pop” has to be the most cliché overused line in design history. I’m not sure who decided that this is the best way to request more emphasis on a given element, but somehow it made its way into the official client handbook.

I swear, some people are convinced that there is a big fat “POP” button in Photoshop just waiting to be pressed. “You mean you didn’t press the pop button? Back to your lab minion!”

One of the biggest problems with this phrase is how most clients want the “pop” to be executed: via a burst, crazy ugly colors or some stock photo that has zero relevance to the communication in question. If you absolutely must tell your designer that you want something to pop, at least consider letting him/her decide how that goal should be accomplished.

Let Your Creative Juices Flow

Seriously, can you think of a more ridiculous thing to say to a designer? I submit that there isn’t one. What are these juices and why are they so… juicy? It’s as if we expect designers to begin secreting some strange, fruity liquid that upon application turns boring old Helvetica into something more exciting like Comic Sans. “Go go gadget creative juices!”

I’d even go a step further and say that discussing someone’s juices sounds more like sexual harassment than creative feedback. Say this a few times to your designer and the only thing that will be flowing is the copious amounts of alcohol he or she has to consume to forget that you ever uttered such an abomination.

Feel Free to Just Be Creative

Designers love it when you tell them to be creative, seriously, do it every chance you get. While you’re at it, the next time you get in a cab, tell the driver to feel free to just… drive.

The assumption here is that you have to give a designer permission to do something creative. Isn’t that what you hired them for? If you neglected to provide this nugget of wisdom would the designer cease all creative juice secretion and provide you with a Word Document set in Times New Roman?

Take It To The Next Level

Feedback like this is as much the fault of designers as it is clients. Too many designers become so emotionally connected to their work that they simply can’t handle criticism without feeling like they’re undergoing a personal attack. As a result, clients have had to resort to “nicer” ways to tell us that our work sucks. “This is great, but let’s take it to the next level.” Translation: “I don’t like it.”

“Take it to the next level” is an empty phrase to designers (plus, it sounds like you’re asking to move in). They’ve given you their best guess at what you want, now it’s time to say exactly what’s not working and why so you can avoid thirty rounds of guessing game artwork changes. Give open, honest and professional feedback that cuts to the heart of the issue. If your designer can’t take it, then it might be time for a new one.

This Project Will Get You Great Exposure

There’s nothing better than a client trying to convince you to take a low or even nonexistent rate because the project will surely earn you some great exposure or provide an awesome portfolio piece. While you’re at it, the next time you go into a restaurant, ask the chef to make you some free food in exchange for you telling all three of your close friends that it was delicious.

There are in fact some projects that are worth it solely for the exposure they provide. The best part is though that those types of clients always have a nice big budget!

This Project Will Lead to Paid Work

Once again, I beg you to go and try this with any other product or service. Perhaps I’ll walk into the Apple Store and ask for a free iPad with the guarantee that if I like it, I’ll actually purchase some Apple products in the future. Somehow I don’t think the folks at the Genius Bar will go for it.

For some reason designers exude some sort of “sucker” hormone that attracts penniless zombies looking for a free meal. The reality here is basically the same as the last time, if you don’t have any money, you can’t hire a professional. It’s simply a matter of respect. If you really stop and think about it you’ll no doubt realize that designers are real people trying to pay their mortgages and put food on the table for their families. Empty client promises don’t buy Happy Meals.

I’ll Send You a Fax

Sorry McFly, I don’t know what time warp you just stepped out of but turn down the Walkman and look around. No one uses a fax machine anymore. In fact, if you’re working with a freelance designer, there’s a good chance that they don’t even have a working phone line in their house.

Email is fast, instant and free. If you need to send signed documents, use a scanner or your computer’s camera. If you refuse to purchase a scanner, then you’ll completely understand when all of the designers that you approach refuse to purchase a fax machine.

We Want It To Look Exactly Like This Website

It’s amazing how poorly this knowledge is disseminated in the general public, but designers aren’t actually supposed to just rip off the work of others. It seems simple enough right? You only have to take the color scheme, layout, buttons and graphics from this website, we can put our own logo on it and it’ll be different!

As Curebit just found out after stealing the Highrise site from 37signals, this strategy doesn’t work out so well in the long run and can lead to some massive PR headaches.

Make The Logo Bigger

This one is so popular that it has spurred countless Internet memes, from Make My Logo Bigger Cream to the Make the Logo Bigger Song.

I’m not going to tell you that there is never a case when your logo needs to be bigger, because such instances do exist, just know that if you request it, your snarky designer is likely to send you back one of the links above.

It Won’t Take Long

For some reason, non-designers often imagine that they are qualified to make accurate time estimates for how long a design project will take. Experienced designers long ago learned to ignore any late night client phone calls because they inevitably lead to a request for a quick fix to a website or brochure. Five hours and nine phone calls later as the sun is rising the “quick fix” is finally wrapped up in time to start a new day of work.

Even worse than the quick changes to existing projects are the judgements received when a designer tells a potential client just how many hours of work to expect on a project. “It’s just a logo! You’re a professional, I don’t see why this should take you more than an hour.” Some clients are convinced that logos just pop out of Adobe Illustrator if you know the right keyboard shortcuts.

What Do Your Clients Say?

It’s always fun to gather around the metaphorical water cooler and jest about the lighter side of our profession. Join in the fun and leave a comment below with some of your client horror stories. Have you heard any of the phrases above lately? What other client clichés can you think of?
