Morning Jed,
Very first impression upon seeing it was well done; simple and organized. First paragraph summarizes its purpose, and first page summarizes the content to be found. No BS distracting one's eye from the real info... good job! -Mark From: Jed Rothwell [mailto:jedrothw...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 7:48 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:Wordpress mockup of LENR-CANR.org See: http://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/ What do people here think? I honestly do not see any advantage to this compared to old-fashioned HTML screens, but maybe I should give it a chance. This took an hour to produce. It is easy to work with, I will grant. Some of the pages and links here are functional. Hold the cursor over "Special Collections." Select "Special Collections" (or click here): http://lenr-canr.org/wordpress/?page_id=57 And try clicking on "BARC Studies in Cold Fusion" Note that on this screen I removed the Google search and "Recent Posts" from the left side. I think I can put back something like a menu of special collections on the left side, instead of "Recent Posts." Or if the section is too long I can put a list of headlines there, which would be a good idea in the section "A look at experiments." The LIBRARY menu item goes to the new library screens. In the News section, I set the number of news items to 3, so the arrow appears at the bottom saying "Older posts." In a real system I suppose I would set it to 10 or 20. This is a rudimentary, no-frills theme. There are thousands more available, ranging from bad to atrocious. See, for example: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ They all waste a lot of screen space. Most of them feature distracting and gratuitous graphics. I can instantly insert one of these other themes to change the overall appearance. - Jed
