ISCA Website

Joined: 10/18/2008

I was recently elected to be webmaster for the International Society of Christian Apologetics (ISCA). Check a preview of it out here: http://isca-apologetics.bravehost.com

Right now, some of the content is for testing purposes but thought I'd get some feedback before going live.

The curvy corners is jQuery so that it would work with IE. The theme is a modified pixture_reloaded which I'll probably convert to a Zen theme later. I've pretty much modified the base theme so much it would just be cleaner via Zen.

It's a strange thing about determined seekers-after-wisdom that, no matter where they happen to be, they'll always seek that wisdom which is a long way off. Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.

I like it!

Very sharp looking!

I think I might make the body (and menu) text a little bigger, but I'm looking at the site on a high res monitor that's pretty wide so I may be more sensitive to this than other users.

What's the purpose of the gray bar below the header and above the menu? I played with Firebug to remove it and thought the header region looked much better.

Finally, based upon some experiences I've had with similar themes, I'd add a little bit of margin on the page to separate the header and footer from the browser window. I found that a small margin made my sites look significantly better. YMMV.

Nice job,

Nice start!

The site is off to a good start, BishopBooyah.

I get a pop up error:

The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This could be because the API key used on this site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/

Whenever I click on the "Meetings" tab. I'm on a Mac running Firefox. Same error on Safari.

Looking forward to seeing updates! Thanks for sharing.

Curt - I'll have to try your suggestions and see how they come out.

Will - Opps, I forgot to update the gmap key!

GMAP keys

About two weeks ago I found the Keys module that allows you to store domain dependent Google Map API keys in the database. It's very simple to implement and is great when you operate a site on multiple domains, like testing and production.

Good luck,
Curt
