Site Updates – menu

Posted by Prashant - 16/11/09 at 11:11:15 am

Made some changes to the menu;

Old Menu:

New Menu:

I always felt that the top menu was in a way cluttered. Lots on info which the user will hardly use, but has to see it every time user visits this page.  So I have used the dropdown menus to hide it. Now the user can click and navigate to the links. These menus are created using basic HTML and a bit of simple Jquery. I am still a newbie with Jquery, so I have implemented it in a crude way. The code looks lot ugly than the end result. But hey it works (hopefully).  I checked it on Mozilla 3.0.15 and IE 8. Mozillar it works like a charm, but IE there is a small glitch (duh!! Its IE stupid) . I am not sure what is causing it .

Otherwise it works fine in both the above mentioned browser.  Need to check with other browsers and browser versions. So thats the update for now. Drop in an email in case you find a bug. Until next updates. Adios.

Reduced the size of slide show on home page

Some of you had an issue where in the size of the slide show. It expanded beyond the screen and hence had to scroll to the right to view the entire photo and yes it is a pain to do so. Anyways I have changed the size  and hopefully you will have a better experience now.

Also I have enabled anonymous comments and have disabled the process of admin approving the comments before they appear on the blog.

Done with most of the changes..

Done with most of the changes..really sad looking feedback form was the last straw . But I guess I will have to live with it for now. Its in situations like these I get to realize how small my imagination is , ideas just dont flow. I had lot of space in the feedback form to play around with, but had absolutely no clue what to do with it..state was such that I even modified a Calvin and Hobbes strip and though of sticking it in there.

But then better sense prevailed.

Am working on adding some more functionality to the feedback page. Will take some time but will be there soon.

In to my second post now..
