• Changes Are Afoot

Mon, 12 May 2008 21:23:01 EDT

So joshmadison.com (jmdc) has been redesigned. This is about the seventh major redesign of this site, and it’s the biggest one yet. Besides the obvious visual design changes, the back end was completely redone using Expression Engine as the content management system.

I’ll be updating this post with issues and concerns that might be occurring.

Issues and Concerns:

~~There seems to be a problem with the RSS feeds. The ‘asides’ links aren’t linking properly, going to the jmdc entry rather than what was linked to.~~ Forgot to include isPermaLink="false" in the guid def. Oops.
~~Some images aren’t showing up.~~ I think I got them all. I’ll be keeping an eye on the error log to see if any 404’s come up related to images.
The ‘Humor’ section has not been migrated at this time. There’s a small technical issue with it, but I didn’t want to hold up the benefits of the new design while those details were being dealt with. If the issue can’t be resolved quickly, the previous version of the ‘Humor’ section will be used until it is fixed.
Some of the most recent comments from the old system need to be migrated and cleaned up.
~~There’s an intermittent issue that’s causing IE6 and IE7 to periodically lose the navigation bar.~~ Have I mentioned how much I hate IE?
