Site Format Changes

Comments

Read Now
 
I have changed to a newer "theme" for the Sound City Reading website.  The format is different but I'm hoping it will not be too difficult to navigate.  I had to make some trade offs as I've gone through this process.

A major improvement is that the area on the page on which I can display materials is wider.  This will allow me to place sound chart pages and picture-word pages side by side on the pages.  The pages appear to me to be sharper and clearer as well.  

After looking at this new version on my PC and Mac laptops, I can see that some of the charts and images are too tall to fit within the screen area.  To fix this, adjust the window to make it narrower.  This will force the images to become smaller.  Then they will fit on the screen.  On larger screens this won't be a problem.

The site construction controls include an ability to create sections.  This will make it easier for me to add new material.

I'm not happy with the blog format!  The new website version will not allow me to add a sidebar, which I had before.  However, it appears I can add the same pictures I used before within each post.  A little more trouble, but doable.  However, there is no workaround that I can find that will make the blog entries visible until you click on them.

If you have any display issues with the new version, please let me know.  My e-mail address is kathjdavis@gmail.com.
