Lo
bobs. :D
Here is what is known as the 'changelog'
for SpRoNKeY's Portal v2.1
At
the moment, SP v2.1 is still undergoing
extreme planning and everything like
that so I'm not entirely certain on
whats going to be here and whats going
to go, but below is a list of definates
and possibles. :)
DEFINATE
CHANGES:
-->
NEW navigation (possibly a Macromedia
Flash-based navigation system), which
will allow me to add MUCH more content
into the Main nav, instead of having
you guys die while clicking throguh
each section.
-->
TOTAL renew of all SP v2.0 sections
(proposed new sections are listed below
in possibilities)
-->
NEW cleaner content system. Considering
that most websites change from initial
versions of a new design to bug fix
versions etc, its EXTREMELY suprising
that i'm STILL using v2.0 - i have never
updated the main core of SP since i
released this version in September last
year! SpRoNKeY's Portal v1.0 lasted
for about 1 week before i updated it
to 1.1, then 1.2, i even managed to
get to 1.3 before i settled on the design
and started work on v2.0 (which im sure
most of you will agree is a much more
advanced website!).
The new content system will make use
of all the lost space that doesn't get
used most of the time - i have about
3 title bars, 2 of which stay exactly
the same throughout every page (no that
wasn't planned - the design sort of..
went that way :P)
-->
LONG AWAITED dynamic content is going
to appear (i.e. FUN, games, animations,
short video clips etc.)
POSSIBLE
CHANGES:
-->
PHP-BASED content management system
will probably be implemented for testing
in v2.1 (maybe not) - if it is, that
means MUCH more frequent updates (and
we all know that you want that :D),
as i dont have to go through all the
hassles of bloody
-->
COLOUR SCHEME might be reworked slightly
-->
NEW TABLES (they should be invisible
to everyone, however im going to implement
a new CSS-based table system along with
CSS-based typeface management - so basically,
im updating some elements to XHTML from
HTML4.01
-->
AEEAF & SOT (my animated comic that
im planning on developing) may arrive
in v2.1. If it doesn't, maybe 2.2. I
personally really like the v2.x design
(in terms of graphics) so ill probably
keep it as long as i possibly can. Expect
v2.1.x versions if i end up going through
versions quickly.
-->
NEW SECTIONS may be used instead of
the old section lists:
-
Home
- Fun
- Games
- Music
- Files
- Tech
- Misc / Links
- About
In
other words, new FUN section will probably
be added, which will include animations,
jokes, perhaps a comic strip (if i can
be bothered making one - perhaps not
if i cant :P). The Games and Music sections
will stay, and new sections to appear
will probably be Files and Tech. Links
will also be added in the Misc. section.
For the observant of you, you might
have noticed that the Reviews section
has disappeared from the new list -
thats because reviews are now contained
in their respective sections, and Reviews
will become a sub-menu feature in my
new navigation. Please note that the
new website will PROBABLY make use of
frames (the new navigation will most
likely be Macromedia Flash-based and
in order to have a dynamic submenu feature
i'll have to use a static frame for
navigation. This should be fine for
everyone, although for some reason a
lot of Netscape 3 users seem to be stumbling
upon my website - im not sure why, but
im guessing ill have to cater for these
guys, so i'll try and make it NS3 compatible.
