Tweaking Our Design

By Glenn Fleishman

The Wi-Fi Networking News sites have been slightly redesigned: Most of you won’t notice any difference, or very little, but we’ve redesigned our six sites to make them more compliant to Web standards. For the not-so-technically minded, one advantage of our new design is that you can print any page from browsers that support CSS styles for printing. (Try it and preview the results.)

Another advantage is that this site should work much better in portable and mobile devices, as well as display on older browsers with fewer problems. Browsers released in the last three to five years should display this site nearly as we intend. (If you see something strange, hit reload or empty your browser cache: the CSS file is named the same.)

I should also note that the various news services like Google News that appear to scrape our site instead of using an RSS feed to determine new stories now produce the correct results for what’s new! Our RSS feeds continue available and unchanged from before, as well as the email lists you can subscribe to at upper left.

We’ve also moved the navigation among the six sites that comprise our various efforts at covering wireless data news to buttons at the top of the page below our nameplate and banner ad. Previously, we used a sidebar that contained brief snippets from the other sites, but we haven’t found that people are clicking through.
