About that homepage makeover
December 22nd, 2006
We released stage one of a progressive College homepage makeover during the first week of November. I almost can’t believe I haven’t had a good chance to write about it until now. The overall goal of the makeover series is to clean up the page because it had become too cluttered. The big, clickable Flash slide show is part of that. Adding some audience-targeted navigation is probably the next step in the project.
The Flash slide show is provided by Flash JPG Rotator 2.1 by Jeroen Wijering. He’s up to version 3.1 now and has renamed it the Flash Image Rotator. I don’t like the newer version as well for this purpose and will stick with the old version, which is still available, for now.
