How to add context sensitive help (CSH) items to TYPO3 extension modules
Software documentation is often rare and developers are lazy, when writing manuals instead of code. TYPO3 comes with a built-in help system which can easily be used to explain items directly in the backend. Dear lazy coder, let's have a look at it!
Added some Description in german
People sometimes ask me about a german version of this website. Although I am a native german speaker I do not plan to translate this blog to german. Nevertheless, I added a page with descriptions about me and this site in german.
Why OpenOffice.org and Zotero are not communicating
For my thesis I use OpenOffice.org in combination with Zotero (Firefox) to manage my references. (I already posted an article about Zotero over a year ago.) Both are powerful tools, but sometimes they are troublemakers...
How to create a page browser in TYPO3 extensions?
Hugh data listings can be confusing and hard to understand. That applies to search results as well as news collections, members directory or todo lists. Page browser divide listings into several parts, which make it much easier to keep track of the data.

About Steffen Müller
Since 2002, I am a user and developer of the TYPO3 content management system. I understand content management as an interdisciplinary task under the terms of a knowledge society. This task combines technical, economical and social aspects as well as profund analysis, planning and implementation.
Therefore I do not focus on plain coding, but on various aspects like usability, accessibility, customizability or empirical analysis, following actual findings in communication science. I am also very interested in the subjects of knowledge communication in open source communities and knowledge management in general.
Since the very beginning I am a strong enthusiast and an active member of the TYPO3 community. I have been a member of the official TYPO3 security team from 2004-2008. Since April, 2010 I am a supporting member of the TYPO3 Association and since May, 2009 a TYPO3 TRYDIVER ;-).
