So some of you might be wondering why those nifty little roll over drop down menus have disappeared from the main menu of PaperDemon.com. Well, I took them down for a few reasons.
One, a friend suggested I take them off because they were annoying.
Two, I have no idea what they look like in older browsers. It could be a big mess. At least with this menu it pretty much looks the same in any browser.
Three, the drop downs were a PAIN in the butt to control. It was a pain to control the spacing and centering of them and I was having a hard time organizing them in such a way that it made sense.
So I scrapped them and instead created two lines of navigation. The major ones on the top, and some minor ones just below the major ones in a smaller text. This works out pretty nicely I think. It's much simpler.
Don't worry, you can still access all of those links such as Newest artwork and the Crit Wall, etc. by just clicking on Art Gallery or Writing, and then clicking the appropriate link in the green column on the left.
By the way, a friend also suggested that I get rid of the scroll bars on the front page. Scrolls within scrolls are kind of lame and annoying so I'm wondering what I should do with the front page. I could come up with a new design that doesn't involve scrolls but that would mean less artwork, writing, and forum topics on the page. I'm also thinking of just taking off all of the newest art, writing, and forum topics on the front page and just leaving the news posts there and then maybe put ads for the new premium accounts or whatever new thing needs to be advertised. What do you guys think?
