Blog - /Website

I decided that Marc Tommasi was right after all and that menus should come before the h1 element of the page. What this means is that now menus are embedded into the right part of the page title. Hope you like the new look.

In addition, the bottom of each page has a more consistent navigation mechanism. Clicking on Front takes you to the Website section, which is considered the "Front Page" of my site. Clicking on Home takes you to the main page of whatever section of my site you are currently in. Index brings up the section-local index of page titles. You can check out the source code of the template of the current page by clicking on Source.

For a while, the modification date at the lower right corner of each page was out of commission. I re-implemented this using Emacs Lisp, so it should be consistent now. The footer of each page is more compact now, which makes me happy since I had been trying to achieve this for a while :^) . Images should no longer have a colored border around them either.

Other small changes in link presentation have been made across the site. Links between different sections of my site omit the "Wiki" part, which I like better. It avoids confusion in that people used to think that my page was a real Wiki and would ask for me to remove the write-protection. It is not a true Wiki. It is something that is sufficiently Wiki-like for me to keep using it, but is not at all collaborative.

If you use or have ever consulted my CSS stylesheet: it has been vastly improved. You should take a look at it by going to Projects: Website Settings and clicking on default.css. For one thing, I have limited the use of px and use mostly fractions of em units.
