Mosaic Musings...interactive poetry reviews _ Suggestions for Improvement -> Cuneiform Chronicles _ New Graphical forum Index

Hello all. sun.gif

Bsed on the answers to our survey question #8: [Do you find the board easy to navigate?], I've added an ALTERNATE graphical index page to all 14 skins, using plain HTML code.  It's not overly fancy and I think it needs more info in the ALT tags, but it's just a START.

Here is the link to it: http://www.mosaicmusings.net/ALTindex.htm

James {Jox} had sent me a draft of something similar a few months ago but with one difference: He had thought I could have new pages that sit behind each (category) box so when you clicked on any one of them, it would bring you to another page with another graph of the forums that sit inside that particular category. He had it laid out differently, but the idea is there.

Right now, I have just started to design that extra level of detail. DO you think adding the individual forums that sit behind each category would be helpful? I've added the six categories to the new index page and also included the most popular forums beneath them.

I'm thinking of changing it to be in more in line with James' (& Peter's) ideas to have pages expand out when you click on the category box. Currently, when you click on BOTH the category heading NAME AND the image itself, it brings you to that category's URL.

I am going to modify it so that when you click on them, it'll re-direct you to another graphical page with images for EACH forum within that category.

I'm making it sound more difficult that it is, so bear with me as I design the poetry one now....

Stary tuned and thoughts welcome!

Hi,

Lori's new avatar is Lori's old avatar.

And one of the site index pictures is Fran's avatar.

Like a maypole dance of the avatars.

Lor,
much better, access should improve and be faster. Give it a
little time for all to adjust.

Thanks Perry - I was going for simplicity.

Does it meet your needs?

Cheers!
