New Website Live – 2010-Mar-17

A new version of the museum website was implemented 2010-Mar-17. The user interface is pretty much the same as before (but more consistent across the website) with a few exceptions :

• a scrolling marque has been implemented at the top of the home page announcing new features.
• mystery photos – clicking on a thumbnail view blows it up for better viewing – click again and it shrinks back down
• BC150 grants – remarkable women – each woman is on a separate tab – clicking the tab activates the writeup of that woman
• BC150 grants – poetry – same tab arrangement as remarkable women
• BC150 grants – video clips – implemented in a different manner that makes them faster to load and start playing
• Powell River people – click on a thumbnail image at the top and the description appears below.
• Links – implemented in the same sort of tab structure as the BC150 grant sections
• Powell River Facts – all the fact categories are expanded and shown on the left sidebar when ‘Powell River Facts’ is clicked. The categories are collapsed when another item other than facts is clicked (in the sidebar).

Blog Implemented

As of 14-Mar-2010, a blog letting everyone know what’s happening at the museum and what is new on the website has been implemented.
