Blog is getting a little face lift…

… and hopefully it will also be easier to get around in.

The photos at the top here are short cuts to the various systems / showrooms categories. These categories are the place where we can describe each system, its sound and evolution, in greater detail than we have before. It is unclear to me at this time whether we might modify this from Showrooms to Systems so that we might talk also about systems on ‘standby’ – because we swap in and out systems configurations (e.g. speakers) quite frequently when special requests are made to audition this or that component / speaker. This way one can read about, say, the Kharma Mini Exquisite-based system, which is not currently hooked up at this time.

Yeah, I think we will make that change… [ or maybe not ].

Anyway…

We have expanded the Category section over on the right —> to include a large number of subcategories, so that posts on specific components or topics might more easily be located. Yes, we still have the HiFi’ing Magazine page which does largely the same thing – and there is always Google – but this may be more convenient for some people. Here we may also make a modification – to the Shows category primarily in order to break it up a little into the specific shows that the individual posts are referencing.

This was tested with both IE and Firefox – which bothb work although FireFox will not have the blue swatch at the top of the Blog – this is because CSS sucks and was designed by people who cannot tell the difference between appearance, geometric and automatic layout properties (and with CSS 3, include behavioral properties in that list as well). And because of this confusion the implementations of CSS from browser to browser vary becuase it is needlessly complex and only serves to create another generation of people who get paid for doing nothing more than learning to work around the idosyncratic bugs.. I mean features… in each and every browser and its plethora of different versions and across the several different platforms. Oh, but I digress.
