I'm through for the day. The following has been done in my Perforce branch (and a full build is running so that it will be available at http://dragonfly.the-bofh.org/~dodell/en/index.html) o Total cleanup of HTML. The site is now <div> based. All colors and whatnot are given in CSS. o Removed the left navigation column and put contents in a `dropdown' menu up top. This menu could be fixed up to look a bit nicer... Ideas? o Moved news and press to the bottom of the main content. The main content could use a change. o Moved icons under left bar; they look better there IMO. o Stylized the footer. o Corrected a small error in the include.header.xsl which caused any XSL part of the site to have a nasty header. o Made two separate color themes for the site. More themes can be made styling the site in pretty much any way imaginable. I think that's about it. The include.header.sgml and include.header.xsl still need to be updated to use <div>s and so do _many_ of the subpages. This is a big piece of work. I see why nobody's jumped in yet ;). I know the dropdown menu has some quirks in Safari, but it should work in Firefox and IE. If you've a Perforce account, feel free to commit changes to my repo, but you won't be able to see the changes until I sync and issue a build. Further experimentation with colors would be nice. I expected this version to cut down on page size a bit, but it hasn't as much as I had hoped. The page is only 3K smaller at the moment, and the stylesheet adds an extra 4K. It should be possible to remove some unnecessary things and save a bit of bandwidth as well :) More to come soon! --Devon
