Redesign

The website is being redesigned!! To improve ease of access and rapid posting we are redesigning the site completely using Movable Type software. Although best known as blogging software [their public product is Typepad], MT is basically just a database-driven content management system. All entries are stoed in a SQL database and can be updated through a web-based interface. This includes new pages [or posts] as well as the layouts and CSS for all the pages [the look and feel of the site]

Please bear with us during the transition. Most pages will be moved within a few days but there might be some pages still withthe old layout for a while. You can tell the new layout by the 800pix centered column, the sidebar on the left and the menu choices [portfolio, stories...] to the right of the David Sanger logo.

One of the more difficult aspects is making sure all the pages work in different browsers on different platforms. Browser makers don't make this easy. Although web standards have been developed by the World Wide Web Consortium There are still many minor quirks in how differaent browsers implement some features... and there are still people using Netscape 4.0 believe it or not.

Your comments are welcome. If you see unusual layouts or behaviours, they may be errors so please email me.

Thanks !!
