Rolling Dog Farm Blog

This weekend we rolled out a redesign of our main sanctuary Web site.  Among other things, it’s wider, has a simpler interface, improved navigation, and a "fresher" look.  As usual, the credit goes to our fabulous graphic and Web designer, Terrel Armstrong, who does  all this work for us pro bono.  Terrel also designed our new BlindAppaloosas.org Web site. 

In the redesigned site, we added a new feature called a WidgetBox that publishes a live feed of our blog right on the home page, photos included.  The WidgetBox is displayed in the center of the home page under the three thumbnail photos of Widget (who thinks the WidgetBox was named for her), Wobbles and Lena.  We tested this feature on both PCs and Macs using a variety of browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari) and different versions of those browsers.  We think it should work on virtually all platforms, but if you see white space instead of the blog feed, please send me an email and tell me what kind of computer you’re using and which browser and what version you have installed.

As with any Web site redesign, there’s usually something odd that sneaked through, so if you see anything that doesn’t look right, please let me know.

We also posted on the site this weekend our latest quarterly print newsletter, the Fall 2007 issue, and individual Web pages on some of our recent arrivals.  (Others, like Blanca and Kasha, will appear in our Winter 2007 newsletter and also on the Web site at that time.)  The Fall 2007 newsletter went in the mail last week and should be appearing in mailboxes over the next 10 days or so.
