Site Maintenance Page
I’m starting this page to keep track of improvements or changes to the site. Nothing about cicadas.
To Do List:
- All changes are complete for 2009. Time to give my carpal tunnel syndrome a rest.
Changes in November 2009
- Created Genus/species based site map to allow folks to find information on site based on Genus or species.
- Updated the Are the Periodical Cicadas coming to your town? page.
- Improved titles of the images in the gallery.
- Added social media widget to Gallery pages
- Updated Tibicen species names on blog and html pages (gallery not done)
Changes in October 2009
- Create “Free Image” page to allow cicada fans to embed select images on their own site, to keep me from going crazy when the site gets 1000 hits from some random Facebook page.
- Improved header of page in Safari
- Fixed issue with audio player and videos where the global navigation was appearing to float under them. Classic Flash issue. Had to add wmode=”transparent”
- Made the menus the same relative size on all pages.
- Added a Site Map and added it to the Error page, to help people find files I’ve moved.
- The big one: New image gallery using Gallery 2. I still need to work out the titles of the images (about 1000! – lots of work), and I’d like to add a widget so folks can bookmark the individual images.
- Removed about 600 pages and many images from the site, all of which are now in the gallery.
- Rebuilt the Message Board. It has a cleaner look now, although I kind of miss the comment box on the right side.
