Well, I've decided to redo the media section again. since people are having trouble with the frames versions of the pages, and it's just too much work to make four versions of every section, I'm just going to do html. So, I'll be redoing the media section, one section at a time, with plain html. There'll still be large and small versions, though I'm going to see about just doing one large version that'll be easy to use for people with both large and small screen sizes. It simply means the main content (and left sidebar) will bew the size of a small screen, with the possibility of a right-side menu. I'm not sure about that right-side menu, though. I'll see about that, I'm not sure yet.

Besides that, the frames-version has turned out to be too much of a headache. So I'll be going back to the html version. Also, there was a problem with media subdomains, which I think may have been the reason why some of the music pages weren't loading. So I'm ging to just use the main site domain instead of the subdomains.

I'll update when I get the layouts worked out.

More soon.

Media section update, asking for opinions on the fiction section

I apologise, that last entry was supposed to be postdated for the 11th of December. That was when it was written, but I couldn't get it posted due to troubles with livejournal.

As for tonight, I've gotten the 1986 movie pages done and ready for upload, I have the main media index and music indexes done, and I went ahead and activated the links for all the media sections so I wouldn't have to go back and do that once the sections are done.

The html version of the pages are almost identical to the original frames-based versions in that they all have the left-side media index with all the different media sections listed.

They do not use frames, so there should be no troubles in getting them to work. There was also a problem with the media and music subdomains, so I've reprogrammed all the new pages to simply use the site's main address. There should be no further problems from that now.

Right now, I'm working on the pages for the 2007 movie soundtrack. I have the index page done, and the first couple of pages. I'm sorry to report it's taking longer than expected to get those pages made, though.

I'll be making a smaller version of all the pages sometime in the near future, though my biggest concern right now is just getting the large sized pages made and uploaded. They should be small enough that someone with a smaller screen (800 pixels width) should be able to see both the leftside menu and the content. The tracks list for each album is to the right of the content, so it's not blocking any content but is still accessible.

I apologise again for past problems with the site, and I will endeavor to produce the highest quality pages (and best browsing exerience) for visitors.

I also would like to make a poll on the fanfiction section, as I've noticed nobody has submitted anything to the archive. I've personally taken notice of a couple of formatting issues with it, and just wanted to know what people think. Dreamwidth doesn't have a poll creator unfortunately, though. So if you want to comment, annonymously or otherwise, I'd really appreciate the input.
thanks in advance!

more on the site soon.
