Still re-aligning?
Are people still calling it 're-aligning' when you slightly re-design a website to improve functionality, usability, etc. without drastically changing the style? It was all the rage last time I re-designed this site as the phrase had only recently been coined by Cameron Moll. Whatever it's called these days (does three months later count as 'these days'?), I've done it again. The new re-alignment shifts the main menu up alongside the content and, depending on what resolution you have your browser window at, a new bar with a random selection of my flickr photos too. At smaller screen sizes, the flickr photos will just shift down. As is often the case, Internet Explorer poses a bit of an issue with its lack of min-width support, so in IE the menu will shift down as well if you go small enough. The new design isn't entirely finished yet - for a start I need to add in a couple of 'skip to...' links at the top for accessibility - but it's basically there. UPDATE: Seems the 'flickr badge' code does a good job of destroying the validity of the site HTML by using straight ampersands (&) in URLs instead of the HTML version (&). In newer XHTML specs ampersands are viewed as object references. Grr. Guess I'll have to look at writing my own flickr random display thingy at some point if I want the pages to stay 100% valid
