Needs More Than A Coat Of Paint
As I get deeper and deeper into applying the redesign to the site, it becomes more and more clear that this web site needs more than a coat of paint. Besides the fact that I’m not happy with the text (which I can fix later), I’m finding more and more areas where a script is needed or more rough work done on the CSS.
Take the Articles & Reviews section of the site. Many of the articles have photographs associated with them at the end of the entry. To see an old example, select this link. How should I handle these photographs? In the past, I created new pages in which to house each photo and thus provide navigation back to the article. Now that I’m using MT though, that doesn’t really work in the overall design of what I’ve done.
So do I install a photos section and move the photos there? I’m planning on having a photo gallery and then link meeting photos to the gallery. Maybe I should do the same thing for articles? Since it’s not installed at the moment, I don’t really know exactly how I should handle it. For the first article with photos, I’ve left them off for the time being. I figure I can figure it out after I get the photo gallery installed, etc.
Part of the hurdle is that I’m converting something that is already created. Had I started this site from scratch, then I think it might have gone easier. I would have worked around whatever limitations and gone from there. It’s just a little frustrating when you start into a new section and see just how much work it’s going to take to get it where you want it to be.
Such is life eh?
