Well, after not even wanting to think about re-doing the site for several months, I finally sat down and cranked out a layout that I'm mostly happy with. Point yourself to the newest mockup and let me know what you think.
Things that still need to be done:
Link up to the "good" favicon that everybody but IE can use.- Make the translucent PNGs work in IE.
Find someplace to put the search box.- Create a print style sheet, just in case anyone ever wants to print this.
- Decide whether I want a sidebar in non-BF pages.
But other than that (and the only one that'll be a pain is the PNGs) I like what I've got so far.
Oh, and that whole thing where I totally rework the back-end. Cakewalk, right?
Since you can't tell from the mockup, the banners will rotate randomly. So sometimes you'd see this one (a piece of the fountain at the National Art Museum), sometimes you'll get Ginger, sometimes the Capitol, sometimes the air show from last weekend. Basically, any time I take a picture that looks good when you can only see 125 vertical pixels of it. For my definition of "good".
Edit: I see nobody ever got around to correcting the difference in image display between Mac and PC. On my MacBook Pro the banner looks great; on PC it's barely visible. I'm sure that when I get the banner to the point that it's viewable on Windows that it'll look washed out on the Mac. Seriously, the two platforms have been out for more than 20 years now; why is so much to ask that my images look the same everywhere?
