Gliffy - Glyphs in a Jiffy, I suppose


Look familiar?

You may or may not know that I just love this sort of thing. I've done several of these, for the Children's Room, the Adult Section, and the Children's Workroom (to plan how to move things around). This looked like Gliffy would be prettier than doing it in Publisher, which is what I had been doing. I've even done this with paper, a ruler, and scissors. But, a mini-Cad that's online! Wheeee!
Well, I find it annoying. By "it" I mean the free version. You can't see all of the work surface because there's a ruddy great banner urging you to upgrade to a paid account. And you can't get rid of it. You can do other things with this, such as flow charts (which I don't love quite as much as floor plans), but it's not worth the effort/annoyance if you already have Publisher and are used to working with that. What it has: a grid for layout. What it lacks: nudge. One more annoying thing: I confused my internet toolbar with theirs because both Edits were in the upper left corner. That could confuse a stupid person. Oops.
