Pardon Our Dust...
...as we grow to serve you better. Still working on the redesign. The never-ending battle between work and play has left Jet Row on the burner behind the back burner. The easy part was switching out the stylesheet for the new look, which I'm still tweaking. Only the front page is presentable at the moment. All interior pages on the site look funny, and not like funny ha ha. Now, I've rolled up the sleeves and am doing quite a bit of work under the hood. Including, but not limited too...
Switching all of my pixel sized fonts to font-size keyword sized fonts. This will enable those using IE6, to re-size the text size to their liking.
Ripping Movable Type apart, only to put it back together again. There's been a lot of hot action lately regarding the use of Movable Type for commercial projects. This has brought new challenges and new solutions. I found enlightenment in the form of Brad Choate's - Doing Your Whole Site in MT and the MTOther blog plugin.
Simplifying Jet Row URLs. This has many benefits, helps search engine visibility, makes URLs informative and generally keeps 'em nice and tidy. More info on this topic can be found at Brainstorms and Raves.
Adding search functionality. One day you will need to quickly reference something brilliant that I've written here, but you'll need site search to find it.
Hopping on the bandwagon that is RSS. RSS didn't make a lot of sense until I started using NetNewsWire. NetNewsWire is now as indispensable an app as any that I use. I intend to get the RSS feeds for this site cleaned up and working.
I've already done all of this for a project at work. Now, I bring this knowledge and experience to Jet Row. With any luck, I'll get all of these fixes implemented sooner than later. I intend to write up tutorials on each subject.
