New website design is launching! Behold the pretty!

[seanan_mcguire]

So after months of hard work, discussion, and objections to my questionable belief that orange and green are always automatically complementary colors, my new website has launched! All credit to taraoshea for gorgeous graphic design, and to porpentine for skillful implementation. Take a look:

http://seananmcguire.com/index.php

You will note that most of the links don't work, and that the text in the 'Appearances' box is still completely out of date. We're working on that, and I'll be posting here as things go live. (We should get the disclaimer and appearances updates done today, and then Chris is going to work on swapping over the Songbook and setting up the first of the FAQ pages.) All shame for missing text should be directed towards me, as I've been terribly lax in actually turning it in before the site was ready to go live. I need to actually be able to see how it's going to look on the page. This is the danger of having a visual mind.

But isn't it pretty? I'm just as pleased as punch, and I'm only going to get happier as more sections of the site go live. Chris is even fixing it so I can update more parts of it myself, which means it'll get fussed with daily, just like everything else I can put on a to-do list.

Squee.

Life is good.

Further experimenting: okay, this is interesting and somewhat encouraging.

Just mousing over a menu or dropdown (books, music, etc.) works properly; the dropdown disappears again when I move the mouse away. If, however, I click on a non-implemented dropdown item (ex: "The Toby Daye Series"), the dropdown does not go away when I move the mouse clear. And once I've got one of the dropdown menus perma-visible, every subsequent dropdown I open stays open, whether I click on anything or not. This tends to suggest that once all the linkage is fully enabled, the problem may go away. It is, however, distinctly odd....

Yes. That is exactly what it is doing on mine. And our security settings are the same.

Eureka! That is definitely odd, and definitely replicable on my end. It also looks to be an IE 7-specific bug with their rendering implementation. Thankfully, it's also got a work-around that's pretty simple. I've updated the style sheet, and things should hopefully be working properly for you at this point. If not, let me know and I'll take a second look!

Fixed!
