Redesign Continues

Another update. Site looks good in the following browsers: IE6/Win, IE5.5/Win, IE5/Win, Firebird 0.6/Win, Opera 7.11/Win, Mozilla 1.4/WIN, Netscape 7.1/Win, IE 5.2.2/Mac, Safari 1.0/Mac. While adhering to web standards certainly eased cross browser trouble-shooting, there were still bugs. Bugs that wasted time. IE5 was the biggest culprit.

The text on this page, and every page here, is now fully re-sizable in IE6. It was always re-sizable in every other browser.

I instituted a secondary blog strictly for static content following the lead of Brad Choate. The About page was created this way. In order to make the site as modular as possible, I used the MTOtherBlog plugin. This let me use the custom templates from my main blog in the static content blog. I did not want to have two custom header templates in each blog. The MTOtherBlog plugin eliminated that.

I changed the URL hierarchy as well. Though, it's a work in progress. To give you an example of what I changed, individual entries like the one I posted on August 23rd had a URL of http://www.jetrow.com/mt/store/archive/000288.html#000288. That URL is now http://www.jetrow.com/2003/08/23/pardon_our_dust.html. Aren't clean URLs great?
