I Think We Made It!

December 17, 2007 | Filed Under Blog 

Well now that the smoke has cleared, it looks like we’ve made it. The new site is up and running. Thanks for bearing with me as I made the live changes this weekend. In fact, it really did take ALL weekend! And now at 12:35am on Sunday night, with all the major fires put out, I can close my laptop and get ready for a nice day in the shop tomorrow. Please feel free to contact me if you have trouble finding anything. But I tried to make all the new changes as obvious as possible. So nothing is really “hidden”. As always, please let me know if you find any major issues. I did hear that the site doesn’t look its best in Internet Explorer 6. No surprise there. If you are running IE6, and you can handle the newer browsers, i highly recommend upgrading to IE7 or Firefox, if only for your own browsing security. Seeing websites the way they were meant to be seen will be icing on the cake. :) Ok off the soap box. Thanks everyone and enjoy the site.

    Overall, the new site looks good!

    I’m not sure if this is correct or not, but in IE7 this page is 3 columns with the Contribute heading in the top right and then Other Stuff, Galleries, Rockler, and Sponsor Ads are at the bottom left. Is that what you want?

    nope. definitely NOT what I want. Working on it now. THanks Roger.

    Works fine for me. Nice job!

    Just curious… what is the “login” part on the bottom of the page for? Thanks…

    WHAT! I step away for like 2, maybe 3 seconds at most and this is what you do! To be honest it’s about time the site got upgraded. I never wanted to say anything, but the site was so old and out dated that it really kept me away. BUT NOW…. Now I’ll be on here all the time.

    For real Great job. Thanks for keeping us laughing.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think we are in the clear (unless you run IE6).

    Kendall!!! Where the heck have you been young man! I was worried sick! ;)

    Marc, An update on the design change, after trying it for a couple of days: It’s harder to separate the blog posts visually now. I mean the part that says “Posted by thewoodwhisperer | Filed under | …” isn’t clear if it goes with the post above or below. Not a big deal - just something I noticed.

Got something to say?
