Building a Better Website Day #5
January 19, 2009 4:20 am What's Cool?I made great progress the last 2 days on the updated comicbooknews website. I had a good couple of hours this weekend to work on it.
I’ve got the navigation pretty solid now. Rule #1 when developing a new website is to make sure you’re testing in IE and FireFox the whole time instead of going down a long path, only testing on one browser. The navigation is solid and I’ve added an enhanced "Featured Stories" section. The functionality is similar to the existing site, but I added a little more SEO and fixed the randomly pulled story.
The Google Ads are in place, although I may swap out the ad list on the left side for something else, but the rest of the ads are in place.
Tommorrow I need to see if I can fix the main story popup ajax window in IE. It works great in FireFox but not IE. After that, I’ll add the next 9 stories to the right of the main story.
