Changing the Curtains

The folks at MME call it changing the curtains when I redo any of the graphics on our site. At this point, they might accuse me of changing the curtains if I just updated the content on the main site. On the other hand, our sports car forums are alive and well. Of course, if you were to click over there, you'd see that the site is in horrid need of some freshening. But that's OK. We like fast page loads and all that good stuff.

But that's enough about the web site people actually visit...

If you've visited here more than once, you've certainly noticed that it's just remotely possible that we keep our recipes here. And we do. It's a darned handy place to keep them. Heck... I wish all my friends would start keeping their recipes here!

And to that end, it's awfully handy to have an easy way to print recipes. I try to keep up with the content management packages floating around in the ether, and in my latest traversal of software tree, I found the package that I'm using now. And what sold me? I accidentally printed a page off the bitweaver.org site and noticed that it printed only the content - none of the headers or navigation menus. I liked it. I'd set that up once on another system, but I'd never gotten around to creating a style for our previous system that was conducive to such magic tricks. For you techies... I'm a big fan of tableless CSS site layouts, and this, by gum, is one. And an easy to modify one, at that.

And so, after some education, teething pains and graphic work, here's our new look. And, to be honest, I'm rather fond of the new look. At least until I get bored with it.

Thanks for stopping by!
