You rock. These changes are really terrific. Thanks for much for your work on this. I’ve been singing the praises of the webteam and you in particular over here in Admissions.
Enjoy the weekend. I’ll see you next week.
Yours,
Christian

Subject: Notes - questions
I’ll accumulate a few now instead of sending a stream.
1. The gray of the footer text. I think that maybe too dark, the contrast isn’t as good as I’d like. Got to be mindful of those with visual problems. I won’t use white but lighter gray.
2. Question – subpage navigation? How are we going to translate this into the design? You know the pages that were going to be the sections.

3. You can now (or rather you will be able to) choose your subpage layout (well you can change the home page too. In a word don’t).
– we can discuss which columns do what – it doesn’t necessarily need to be what’s below
Normal (1 column) is a standard layout
left column = left callout (look to be decided)
right column = right callout (look to be decided)
normal column=main content area
border column=border callout (look to be decided)
2 columns
left column = left callout (look to be decided)
right column = the right side of main content
normal column=the left side of the main content
border column=border callout (look to be decided)
3 columns
left column = the left side of main content
right column = the right side of main content
normal column=the center of the main content
border column=border callout (look to be decided)
4 columns
left column = the left side of main content
right column = the right center of main content
normal column=the left center of the main content
border column=the right side of main content
home page
this calls the html template for your home page.
I do not know if this will work in the mount point when viewing your subpages through the mount point. I suspect not. But I have a temporary subpage under the mount point I can show you on.
I’m in the process of getting the layout totally flexible (change width of the columns dependant on whether or not you have callouts in place). And styling all the various flexible layouts.
So now for a break, I’m out tomorrow and next Tuesday. I’ll be there on Wednesday but do have a meeting sometime that day. If you need anything you know where to find us….
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
