    Clap Our new Home Page (LIVE)

    Well I just decided to integrate Lightbox into the new Flash home page, screw it.

    What needs to be done:
    1. Scoll bar for the galleries to allow more then 6 pics.
    2. Fix the Contact Us form, not working right now. (Not sure why)
    3. Modify the meta tags to keep kiddies out and search engines in!
    4. Do the thumbnails better, maybe crop the pictures rather then reducing them.
    5. Wait for final approval on some member's pictures.
    Check it out here:
    http://www.insearchofchicas.org/isoc.html

    Tested with IE6 & Firefox. If anyone can check Opera, Safari, and IE7 please post a response, Thanks.

    Update: Fixed the Contact Form, BUT PLEASE DO NOT TRY IT OUT unless you are testing an alternative browser listed above, and then please state so in the message. (It's currently set to send to my personal email account and I don't want 100's of messages!)

    I am on the right path for the Scroll Bar with the Galleries. You can see it in the Chica Gallery. Yes I know I just repeated pictures but as you see it works!

    Looks Really good DT!!

    I tested it in IE7...no problems that I could see. My res is 1280x1024 (32) and the page fits perfect...no scroll on main page. I love the galleries and the way the pictures come up. The links work great and Wiki is really looking good.

    Thanks for the hard work.

    Re: Our new Home Page (almost)

    The main pictures are 800X600 and you need to do a little scroll down with resolutions 1024X768 or 1280X800. I could make the Lightbox smaller but most people have big monitors now. Just have to worry about laptop users.

    Any thoughts on the content itself?

    Re: Our new Home Page (almost)

    After talking with Jimmy and allowing him to add/remove pictures in the future EASILY! I have decided to go the route where there are hidden pictures available through the Lightbox slideshow. You just need to hit Previous/Next. Now there are a total of 12 galleries, with one thumbnail starting off each. I have anywhere from 1 to 15 pictures in each gallery and this way it allows me or Jimmy to add pictures very easily by just uploading them and editing an HTML file rather then editing the Flash file and re-Publishing.

    I have also added additional text to the two Gallery pages which I feel is self explainatory, if you have any comments please let me know.

    DR Pics / Chicas
    Colombia Pics / Chicas
    Caribbean & Central Am. Pics / Chicas
    South America Pics / Chicas
    Asia Pics / Chicas
    Africa & Europe Pics / Chicas

    Not to nitpick, but I think photos 2 and 3 in the Colombia section are actually from the DR.
