Meta: May 2003 Archives

And, do you like the new look of the site? Drop a comment and let me know what you think of it.

I planned to do everything in the most logical order: first decide what has to be shown on each page, and then create the looks of the site. But playing with colours and images is more fun than programming templates, so in between I worked little by little on this new look.

I still have some more ideas in my mind, concerning both content as style, so don't be surprised if things change (a little bit) again....

Before I used to have a link on this page to the photo gallery. The photo gallery is not gone yet, and as soon as the site redesign has progressed further, a permanent link to the photo section will appear again. For now, you can use this message to find out where my Photo Gallery is.

03.06.2003: I have decided to replace the old gallery, so I removed the link.

As I continue defining the information shown on the main page, I find the list of archives by date way too long. I have been thinking about how to solve this problem. The nicest way would be to group all dates by year and make a dynamical menu showing the months when clicking on the year. This would requiere some advanced JavaScript, and visitors without JavaScript would still see the whole list.

I went to look for other solutions, and came across Brad Choate: Year Archives in MT. Brad describes a way of creating a page showing a year calendar. I guess I'm going to implement this the coming days...
