Site to be revamped!
I’m sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted here. I want to let everyone know that I haven’t abandoned this project. I haven’t been able to post any news in quite some time, because I’ve had a few other projects that have been keeping me extremely busy. I am at the point now, where I can take a break from these other projects for the time being.
When Widescreen Advocate was first created, I was a novice when it came to creating page layouts, so Eric was in charge of that aspect of the site. He used frames and tables to create the layout, so it was hard for me to maintain and update. I have since learned how to create effective layouts, using CSS (stylesheets). With my newfound skills, I have been working for the last several weeks to re-code Widescreen Advocate using CSS and valid xhtml. When a site is built with CSS and xhtml, it becomes so much easier to update and maintain. I am very close to completion of the layout, but it still needs some minor tweaking. I hope to have the re-coded site online by Monday or Tuesday. You will not notice any major changes to the site, since the design is essentially the same, but there will be some enhancements and additions to the site. In the next few weeks there will be some more noticeable changes. As always, if anyone has anything that they can offer to the cause, please let me know, and you will be accommodated. I would also like to thank all of those who have added Widescreen Advocate to your list of affiliates.
In the last few months, there has been confirmation from a few of the Studios that several DVD’s that are only available in Full Screen, may soon be available in OAR. Two that come to mind are Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and A Christmas Story. I think that this is very good news. I will be keeping you posted on any official announcements concerning these, and other titles.
