what about shrinking the imslp logo on the top left? Crop some from the top and bottom to make a rectangle and you can display more...

or what about redirects? Then you don't have to delete?

well one way to optimize the google searches would be to delete those redundant pages so they don't show up any longer.

Haha oh ok i was reading too lazily (and excited about the page being up!)

I agree collapsible menus on the sidebar would help a lot. Especially with stuff down by the bottom that is mostly admin tools.

I appreciate the sentiment as I too think the search box would be nice if it could incorporate the categories easier. HOWEVA, for the love a god let's not put a giant long line of text on the page explaining the search box. I really can't think of a worse thing to do to the main page than to put mor...

couldn't you just use this in the header of every page: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- if (top.frames.length!=0) top.location=self.document.location; //--></SCRIPT> With this you search - have google load in a frame - then click a result - then the result loads in the same frame but po...

oh yeah i keep forgetting to mention that. And is there a way to have it return the google results within a frame? Or some way so the visitor isn't immediately taken away from the site? I remember that was weird feeling the first time i used it. Usually that sort of navigation is code for "oops...

ok should be good now. That actually let me get rid of a few unnecessary divs in the process.


What's the next problem?

ARG! This is the font-size problem rearing its head. For some reason Firefox now handles the spacing differently than Chrome, opera, etc. This started after the font change, but i imagine it can be fixed by using "line-height" commands and that should read the same among all browsers.... I...

really? the color looks exactly the same to me. I messed with contrast to see if it was slightly off but they're exact. I changed both images since the original gradient so maybe you have the old color image cached somehow? that doesn't really make sense but it's my best guess... Anyone else experie...

ok - full font backups in place. I've run out of things to clean up/check/double-check. Page looks ready to go...

also looks like the font-size:xxx% issue of large text over-lapping itself is fixed. just by chance or intentional?

you mean for the body or for the title? I'll just drop the font tags in the body since it looks like we've converted everything into lucida now. (I actually find the new font hard to read as it is very spaced out. Maybe it looks better on non-windows OS though...) If it's for the title Garamond font...

modified design to match accordions: http://imslp.org/wiki/User:Icactus/sandbox2

I think we're finally into the home stretch...

Thoughts?? Anything left?

Yeah, the accordion can't handle multiple elements in the heading so the RSS buttons are messed up, but they can be added to the footer of the boxes since most visitors will have no interest in an RSS feed and don't need to see it first thing. Also, are we now using a different font for all text? As...
