Ramblings of a pixel-pushing, barely-sane Sabbatical officer and Meeja Whore

I don't like to blow my own trumpet, buuuut....

... here's the new UPSU.net Media homepage:

New UPSU Media homepage

As usual, send comments, suggestions, and reports of any factual errors to somebody else, 'cos I don't care (ok, I'm joking - contact me here if you need to :o).

I know it's no work of art, and it's hardly pushing things forward for web design, but it's a colourful template for us to build on over the next 12 months, so to that end I'm happy with the result. Of course, you might think otherwise - tell me how you'd change it in the comments box, below.

p.s. Sharp-eyed viewers among you might have spotted the Google AdSense box on the left, under the menu. It's still being trialled (i.e. no-one particularly wants it turned "on" yet), so it only appears on UPSU.net pages viewed through my account. 

/al - bedtime!

Hi Tom, 
 
I did indeed do a degree of testing. I realised early on that using a purely DIV-based layout meant that, if content was added to the boxes, they would eventually grow longer than the others. 
 
I decided to set a minimum height so it would look "right" in a majority of browsers, and as a fall-back did my best to make sure it wouldn't look too bad in browsers where the boxes were different sizes - as you've found with your browser, it seems. 
 
Could you let me know what browser you're running though, just to be sure? 
 
Much ta! /al

Welcome

Welcome to my online ramblings repository. As of Friday 16th March, I have been sentenced to serve an extra 18 months in Portsmouth as a Sabbatical officer at the Union. Until then, I have to get my degree and train up to be a Sabb while running UPSU.net

"Grumpy, geeky old grey-head"

'Ello! I'm Alex, and I'm one of the mysterious and slightly-shady figures know as "Sabbatical Officers" - my job title is something like Media Whore, and I divide my time equally between upsetting students, annoying staff members, tweaking the UP ... (read more).
