Help

The following guide may be useful for anyone wanting to get the best from the website application and content.

Application vs Content

We divide the site into application and content. The "App" is the set of features we have implemented to allow content to be viewed in a novel way or request services from the server. The App version is shown at the bottom of every page and is incremented after additions and improvements.

Typically, web apps are written using additional languages to HTML. We employ CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and others to provide more dynamic capabilities. Some of these functions include search bars, interactive forms, and tool features.

The content is all about the posts. These are the main portfolio subjects, the ones we are passionate about. The main connecting factor is they are all linked to poems and sounds.

Sitting just around the posts are the static pages. These serve to give the site structure and provide ancillary information like what we are up to and privacy policies etc. At the top and/or bottom of each page, you will find a set of handy tools.

Some pages or posts require a password to see the content. This means you must subscribe to view further - it's still free any!!

All the pages and posts contain their last updated date at the bottom.

All the pages are responsive to the device they are rendering on and for every feature, we have developed there is an attribution link below the widget for further details.

See the Sitemap for all pages, posts, tags and categories navigation. Protected items will be red.

Theme

We use the Avada dark theme, for its functionality and responsiveness. Avada is expertly crafted and adheres to all industry standards.

The Avada Global Styling Options provides us with a plethora of tools to ensure that the site's layouts and elements are rendered pixel-perfect on all mobile devices.

The mobile visibility system is a particularly handy set of options that allows us to choose what to display on small, medium, and large screens.

Navigation

Website navigation allows the visitors to flow from one page to another without difficulty. If we have done the job well, you will leave the site with the intention to return.

You can find the main navigation menu appearing in the header section at the top of the page. This collapses to a hamburger menu for mobiles.

We also have footers, which often contain links to the site's main content, as well as popular themes. These "fat" footers allow for more links, which should mean a better user experience.

At the top of each page below the header, the page name tells you where you are. Then you can see which category that page belongs to, the part of the site in which it exists (blog), and "See also" links to navigate to other relevant content. Below this will be a ticker-tape giving a possibly uplifting quote. Click on this to refresh the quote. Turn these off in the User Preferences.

We use the hamburger menu within the header section for all mobile devices.

The website navigation and hyperlinks aren't the same. We have links scattered on each page but are not part of the navigation structure. We mainly use tabs and buttons to show and hide different pieces of the content. These are all responsive to the type of device you are viewing from.

Another feature we have introduced for the posts is the concept of the "shelf". Here you can quickly navigate to a post or media item from any page.

The post shelf provides a list of the most recent POSOWOCO posts - select an item to jump to a specific post.
The music shelf provides a list of all POSOWOCO tracks - select an item to either play the audio or jump to a specific post if we have written about it.
The video shelf provides a list of all POSOWOCO videos - select an item to play the video.

Header

The website header contains mainstream content navigation elements. It consists of the quick menu and a navigation bar.

The Quick Menu displays:

LOGO - go to the home page
SHELF - see the bookshelf pop-up
ASSIST - see the Web Assistant options
RADIO - see the radio station and play the live stream
PLAYER - see the cassette player with any chosen track
PREFERENCES - set the User Preferences
LANGUAGE - select the display language
SITE TITLE - POSOWOCO and our tagline

For desktop browsing, each page and post will also contain clickable navigation breadcrumbs.

SHELF

Click on the SHELF button and you will see a pop-up of all the posts. They are arranged chronologically as books on a shelf. They have their featured image and their category as a front cover. Click on the book to access the POST.

ASSIST

Click on the ASSIST button and you will see a pop-up of all the popular assisted URLs. These are arranged as a list of actions. Click on one to act. The Web assistant is always monitoring every URL to see if it can further select items on the chosen page or post.

RADIO

Click on the RADIO button and you will be presented with a pop-up allowing you to listen to Radio POSOWOCO. From here you can see which track is playing. Select the play icon to stream the audio. Selecting the plus/minus button will show/hide the next few tracks.

MUSIC

Click on the MUSIC button and you will be presented with a pop-up with a cassette player. From here you can see which track has been selected for the post.

PREFERENCES

Click on the PREFERENCES BUTTON and you will see a pop-up with all the User Preferences for the site. Changing an option will cause the page to reload and if the browser can store local options, the User Preferences will now be active.
You can currently change the browser App Settings :

SHOW COMICS - Turn on/off comic themes on all pages

There is a Server Settings section at the footer to describe any operational news.

LANGUAGE SELECTION

All the pages use google language translation and right-to-left friendly. Select the language from the drop-down list. Default is English.

Content

The content consists of:

HEADERS - front page header images and details for the post or page
PAGES - static web pages describing us and the website
POSTS - the cornerstone content of the 4 portfolios plus images
FEATURES - the media toolbar, galleries, book browser, media players, comics, analysis buttons, themes

HEADERS

The headers consist of images from the media gallery. These header images are all black and white and are taken around multiple locations in the U.K where we are based.

Sometimes the headers will have navigation buttons on them to let you go to a related page.

PAGES

The pages represent the static content of the site. Each page is very different in content but all are headed by the navigation pages.

You can always go to the inline Sitemap and navigate from there too.

POSTS

These are the main creative content pieces of the website or the Cornerstone Content.

We publish posts on the 4 portfolios where each post has different content but the same features e.g. Media Toolbar.

The posts are divided into standard posts for Poems, Sounds and Worlds and more varied layouts for the Collections.

A page or post may have Content Protection . They can be one of 3 kinds:

Free content - have a look!
Protected content - sign up to the newsletters for the password!

See the features section below to get help on what's available.

FEATURES

Our web app features apply to any content or static pages. These are explained in sub-sections below.

We have:

Main Menu - static menu for all pages
Context Menu - dynamic menu for all pages
Media Toolbar - play media for the given post
Comic Strips - comic strip visualisations for the text
Instruction Button - specific page/post instructions where needed
Go Button - start/stop configured media for each post
Analysis - text analysis of the page in terms of words
Media players - playlist/cassette/turntable/Image
Views - a standard set of views augmenting the main content
Themes - static and animated background themes for the poems

Main Menu

Our main menu contains links to the main pages -

Home - landing page for the website
Portfolios - the playful portfolios of poems, sounds, worlds and collections
Galleries - collections of all good stuff across the site
About - who are we?
More - more detailed articles on who we are, what we do and other notices

Context Menu

Our context menu is dependent on the page it is on but contains some common links -

Share - a share icon that will allow you to share the page to social media
Dictionary - a 'D' icon brings up a wikipedia dictionary page for the title keywords as a pop-up
Help - a question icon brings up this help page as a pop-up
Shelf - brings up the "shelf" as a pop-up
Presence - brings up the web presence contacts page as a pop-up
Chronicle - brings up the browsing history on the site for immediate favtheite navigation - the history is not shared and can be cleared

Media Toolbar

Our media toolbar has at most the following buttons -

Sound - play a random sound effect, useful for setting the scene whilst reading a poem for example
Voice - play the text-to-speech voice recording of the featured poem
Music - play the music specifically written by us for the post, for the Sounds posts this will be the featured soundtrack
Drum - play a random drum rhythm, useful for setting the tempo whilst reading a poem for example
Rain - play a random storm sound, useful for meditation
Noise - play a random Binaural sound, useful for meditation
Morse - play the morse code of the featured poem - imagine being sent the poem over some tapped water pipes

If a button has a question mark icon on it, this will launch a pop-up showing more detail on the media being played. Clicking the Morse button, for example, will show the dots and dahs being sounded as each letter is transmitted.

If a button has a recycle mark icon on it, this will change the underlying media to another random selection enabling different SFX and music combinations

Just below the media toolbar is a collapse/expand button to hide/show the toolbar.

Comic Strips

Our comic strips provide an alternative visualisation for the content. By default, comic strips are turned off. You uncheck this on the user preference (COG) icon at the top of each page. The underlying text will now be shown instead of comics unless you select a strip inline.

There are several comic strip styles to choose from. These have been built on by us from our favourite JavaScript comic generator tools. Select the round links above the comic to change the layout and styles. The X link disables the comic for this page and session.

All of the comic strips have a question mark icon - use it to view the "raw" underlying text. The comic strip can be viewed as a slide. Click the Slid icon (camera) and you will be presented with each comic panel in the strip. You can advance to the next strip by clicking the slide or on the next/previous buttons on the control bar. A count is shown of the slide navigation state. The comic slides can be turned on by default in the User Preferences.

Instruction Button

On some posts, you can select the instruction button (the question mark icon) to show a pop-up page with what you can do specifically for this post.

Go Button

Select this link (the play icon) to start/stop configured media for each post. This may mean the poem being read out and some animation music playing in the background.

Analysis

Select the Analysis link to see analysis tables and graphics created from the current page - you can then find posts containing its top words (and select one to follow).

Image - play audio as though it were just a record sleeve
