New Shoes for Ftrain
Today, Ftrain looks a little different. For those of you using older browsers, it likely looks like shit. For those of you using newer browsers, it features more of the color gray, and easier-to-read type. The site makes full use of CSS and is designed to look good on Internet Explorer and Mozilla. Since readership is down due to my non-participation in the audience/author relationship, I feel it’s a good time to introduce new variables and the possibility of failure.
Two things are notably different:
-
When you print Ftrain, the style changes automatically and the navbar goes away, leaving you with plain, wide-margin pages that look dandy on sheets of paper. This eliminates the need for “plain” and “fancy” versions of the site; links into this site beginning with “plain_” will no longer work.
-
is gone. It had to go - it’d become unmaintainable, was hogging disk space, and worked for only about 1/5 of the folks fiddling about with it. When I can rewrite it and start over, I will; the idea is still tenable, and useful, just not as implemented. I’m hoping to get things rolling again by September, but who knows.
