For the page, it is a cha-angin'!

Bad, I know. It's 3:48am; what can I say? :)

The new index page is up and running, and it's a beaut, I think, even if the bottom nav bar is still too wide and rather unwieldy. The SO is working on a huge server change for 9 of the company's biggest accounts (and my little site), and that leaves him no room for helping me. He's logged 80 hours in the last 4 or 5 days and is cranky. YOU ask him, if it's all that important to ya; me, I'm good with waiting. ;)

The server change is goin' down (happening, not actually crashing) sometime late Saturday, so if you have any problems with accessing this blog or the site, that's the problem. It should only take a few minutes, but I have the worst feeling there's a form page somewhere on the site that I missed, and if so and you try to access that particular page, well, then you should let me know. :)

But I digress. You know the best part of the new index page? It actually fits perfectly on an 800 x 600 monitor! :)

Actually, you still have to scroll up and down, but that will be resolved when the bottom nav bar is consolidated with the top one, and even if it isn't, that's not a big deal. It's the horizontal scrolling that is a pain and which I have gotten rid of. :)

Also, comments are back for anonymous posters, but you will now have to pass a Turing Test. If that doesn't work, I'll kill 'em for a while.

I also need to do a bit of redesign for all the other, informative-type pages on the site, so that they fit the new, slimmer design, but I can do that bit by bit, a page or two a day. I think it's mostly resetting the table widths, and finally remembering to place the right-hand navigation on all the pages...I think. I haven't decided if I like that. I'm open to suggestions.

So there you go, and I am now for bed. I managed to completely screw up my sleep schedule again this week. Not that it was hard. I am and will always be, a night person. Alas.

Nighters,
Jenie

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new index page. And I really like those link earrings, too. I've been looking all over for some metal links like that w/ no luck :-( This is the part where I hate you for having a better-looking website and cuter jewelry ;-)

I'm feeling immature today (probably all the kiddie TV of the last few days) so I just have to respond with the classic: "is too!"

then i must counter with the only acceptable response, which is to stick my tongue out and blow a raspberry. :p
