New website - latest news

I've been working on getting the design of the website to my liking in the past couple of weeks and have been tweaking some display issues along the way. Although the site is designed for 800x600 resolutions and above, it should also resize okay in smaller windows.

I've changed the look of the navigation so that it looks clearer and better then before.

The main challenge now is to prepare the rest of the content for the new site. I haven't touched the World Media section in a while now, and I need to be making progress on it.

World Media

Having completed the Travel section aside from images and photographs, the next priority is the World Media section. I'm going to modify this section to reflect how my own listening to international broadcasters has altered recently. This will give focus on broadband internet content, which I'm currently exploring, but will continue to feature shortwave information and developments with Digital Radio Mondiale.

New site design update

Due to the number of pages this site has and the amount of time I've spent updating the site in the past, I've made the decision to use frames in the new site design. Although I'm quite aware that many in the web design community aren't keen on the use of frames, until such time that I'm able to create a database driven site, frames will allow me to ensure the whole site is kept current as efficiently as possible.

So far I've been testing the site in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox with good results. I'll be trying out Opera as well soon, so most of the major browsers should display the site as it is intended.
