Home Page changes

As I looked at the homepage, I thought that we might try to dampen warring colors a bit more. So, I amended the link color so that all the links are the same color basically. Then if we feature something, it might stand out a little more.

I saved both the homepage and the stylesheet with different file names so we could compare.

Styling changes made

I made some style changes on some converted pages to a standard style that can be used by everyone. examples:

• http://library.austincc.edu/gen-info/lending-about.php
• http://library.austincc.edu/help/remove.php

See the styles that I added to csslayout-page4.css below.

Remember that you can always view the styles pages by putting the url to it in your browser address bar and then using View Source if you can't see it as a web page. (http://library.austincc.edu/scripts/csslayout-page4.css)

Note: I made red styles to fit different occasions. Mostly for title kinds of things, we want to consistently use #800000. However, there are some times when one just wants to make a statement or a phrase plain old red so I made instances of that, too.

If you need for me to add other styles like this, let me know.

span.Red { color: red;}
span.RedBold { color: red; font-weight: bold;}
.styleRed {color: red;}
.styleRedBold { color: red; font-weight: bold;}

span.Red80 { color: #800000;}
span.RedBold80 { color: #800000; font-weight: bold;}
.styleRed80 {color: #800000;}
.styleRedBold80 { color: #800000; font-weight: bold;}

.indentboth28 {padding-right: 28px; padding-left: 28px;}

hr {color:#ccc; background-color:#ccc;height:.1em; border:1px solid; text-align:left;/*this will align it for IE*/
margin: 0 auto 0 0; /*this will align it left for Mozilla*/
}

#hangright {float: right; margin: 4px 5px 20px 20px;

Styling checks to do

Some styling things to do:
==============================


span.Red { color: red;}
span.RedBold { color: red; font-weight: bold;}
.styleRed {color: red}
.styleRedBold { color: red; font-weight: bold;}
.styleRed80 {color: #800000}
.styleRed80Bold { color: #800000; font-weight: bold;}

=================================

.indentboth28 {padding-right: 28px; padding-left: 28px;}

=================================


Change the instances that Adrian uses her red styles to one of these.

Check for the "indentboth" in all files to see what's where.

Check Teresa's box to amend "hangright" a little. [i.e., Use some of message-box, but keep to original concept for consistency.]


=================================


#message-box {
background: #fff;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
font-family: helvetica, sans serif; color:#000;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
line-height:18px;
text-align:left;
}

#hangright {float: right; margin: 4px 5px 20px 20px;
/* border-top: thin solid silver;border-right: thin ridge silver;border-bottom: 2px groove silver;border-left: thin solid silver; */
border: 1px dotted silver; background-color:#E5ECF4;
padding: 6px 6px 6px 6px; font-size: 90%;line-height: 1.6em;
}
