Well, as you might have noticed, we’ve changed the look of the site. Several of you had mentioned that the grey background looked a little … Atari circa 1989 … desktop computer circa 1994 … Netscape circa 1996 … IBM, forever. So Chloe, our design consultant and aesthetic prognosticator, came up with a rad new design that you now see before you. Okay, yes, all we did was change the background color, add a gradient, and switch out the tabs for rounder versions. That said, I have to say that I’m darned impressed at how well it all came together. If you have thought or further suggestions, you should let us know.
In addition, reading and definition practice now has a little more style, and the prompts display more information. This is particularly evident in Japanese practice, which now shows the writing in the prompt where once there was only blankness.
Let me pause for a moment and note that both the new look and the prompt improvements were implemented by our very productive interns. Whoa, they’ve only been working with us for about 2 days, and they have already contributed to the site. So let’s hear it for Blair and Garrett! They’re rocking hard.
Current projects we’re working on include this month’s newsletter, a new login interface, and >finally< a tutorial to help people that are new to the site.
Here’s a visualization of today’s accomplishments:
