I've added the Font Awesome library to the site. This enables better icons throughout. New icons for logon, lock, news categories, settings, location, and icons on the menu buttons. This change also solves the issue where browsers may convert some symbols into emoticons. The menu received a redesign with the icon addition…
The Search function has now been moved from many different and inconsistent places. It now appears in the header, by the date and time. Click the magnifying glass to switch between an internet search and a site search (just brianjd.com). It will default to an internet search... that's probably what you want…
The Login System has been revamped. You can now login or logout from any page on the site. Just click on the small user icon below the date. If the user icon contains a green check mark, then you are logged in…
Nothing major... Top level heading (with the shading) has been removed. A bit more available screen space now. Forums and Gallery had minor updates. WebMail has had a few updates. Small issues with the new code have been fixed. On the backend, security has been stepped up a bit. Required minor rewriting of the Links engine. Everything should be in good order.
In addition to many minor updates to WebMail, the big change is the elimination of HTML frames. The site has not lost this functionality, it is now managed by CSS code. Note the little lock icon in the title bar. The lock will "lock" the title bar at the top of the screen. If you are using IE 5 or IE 6... you won't see it. This new coding requires Safari, Firefox, Opera, or IE 7. I will continue working on adding new features to this site, it's just taking a bit longer than I had hoped. :-\
A new button style is being used for the navigation system. The look is a bit more modern and crisp. Additionally, the Coding page has been replaced with a Design page. Please email me if you are interested in web design services.
