FERDY CHRISTANT - NOV 18, 2006 (08:10:10 PM)

With the girlfriend away for the day, today I had some time to work on version 3.0 of s3maphor3.org. I picked the right day. Everything went smoothly and I was in a very productive mindset. The result is that v3.0 of s3maphor3.org is already live as we speak.

Let's discuss the improvements. I went from this:


...to this:


I hope you like the new 3 column layout. I personally think it looks a bit more professional now. There's a whole lot of other improvements as well:

  • Improved directory structure, optimized for search engines
  • Some texts are rewritten. Outdated information is removed
  • There is now a news section and RSS feed, both at site-level and product-level
  • A Paypal donate button is added, for the generous among you
  • A download counter is added for the product downloads. Only visible for me!
  • I recreated all Blogo screenshots so that they are in sync with the current style of this blog
  • Google ads added. Non-intrusive, in the right column of top level pages

Starting to look like a real open source site now, don't you think?

Note:In case you read yesterday's post and wonder how I fixed my nagging CSS bug: A nasty javascript onload event triggers a redraw in IE6 that fixes the layout. You can see it in the source if you want more detail.

(You may have to refresh your browser in order to see the new design of s3maphor3.org.)
