Construction is Ended…How to Use our New Site

Hey, Everyone.

As you’ve already noticed, we made another change to the website, but we think this will be better.  It seems like having the homepage confused a lot of people about how to get to the blog, and we lost several loyal readers and commenters along the way.  We never meant to; we thought that helping individually with emails would work while everyone got used to the new look and function.  But, we are still missing some people and have read comments about feeling left out, so we decided to try to put some things back to the way they were.

That meant making the blog front and center, so we took the homepage down.  It isn’t gone, but it’s a separate page on the left hand side of the screen, “Introducing ilvoloflightcrw.com.”

We also wanted to clarify how to use the blog since this one looks a little different than the other, and there seems to be some confusion with that as well.

1.) When you come onto the site, you see the blog now.    

 

 

 

2.) Scroll up and down to read the posts that you wish.  To comment, you can do 1 of 2 things:

*  Click on the Dialog Bubble at the top of the post   

 

 

 

 

 

*  Or click on the title of the post (which is the same as in the old blog) 

 

 

 

 

3.)  Those options open up the post for commenting which is on the bottom, as the old blog.  

 

 

 

 

4.)  To easily move from post to post after commenting, use the left and right arrows at the bottom of the post

 

 

 

5.) Links to videos and other pages/stories we didn’t want to lose are on the left.   When you hover over the link, you will get a drop down menu.  Slide your mouse over to the link you want, and then click the link


 

 

 

 

 

6.)  To do a keyword search, use a word from the title of the post you’re looking for in this box:

 

 

 

 

I think that is everything we received questions about.  The links on the right under, “Topics” are links that you click on.  The calendar is a rolling calendar that doesn’t allow any navigation.  It shows about 10 dates at a time with the oldest dates falling off as they pass, just like on the old blog.

I know a lot of people miss Elizabeth’s art, and I’m working on that.  The problem right now is that when I load the background, it washes everything else out, rendering the site unusable.  I’ve reached out to some people, and I have found that the problem is probably in the way that the style sheets are programed to lay, and to manipulate that programming takes skill beyond mine.  I am working on finding someone who can help me do this, and hopefully, that will fix the problem.

I hope this helps.  Please let someone know if it doesn’t.
