Improvements to New YUI Blog Theme

Objective

Subjective

Overall I'm not sure using the exact website header is the right thing to do. Here's why:

  • You can barely tell you're on the blog, there's just a faint "Blog" in the header.
  • The search is not the same search that the website has. This is confusing because it looks like our site at a glance but doesn't function like our site.
  • The website's main navigation doesn't make sense for the blog, which is a separate website and has it's own main navigation items.

As the current website header stands today, I don't think it makes sense to whole verbatim on the blog. We should have a way to call attention to the fact that the user is on the blog, and provide an easy way for them to get back to the YUI Library main site.

  • Entries do not print properly -- they are cut off after the first page (FF/Win7).
  • Navigation needs to be consistent with yuilibrary.com or better distinguished from it.
  • Links to older/newer entries not properly aligned.

@jenny: Created the following tickets to track these issues. I'm meeting with Jeff tomorrow to discuss options re. navigation. @ericf, do you want to join in tomorrow as well?

  • Links to blog "pages" are missing

That's probably part of the navigation discussion. Looks like we'll end up changing the navigation bar at the top - it's just a question of what items we want to surface there.
