There are just a few things left to do before John On Food goes 1.0 and gets released with its shiny new domain name.

In the last few days the whole site has undergone a few CSS changes to provide the light grey background behind the content areas. It makes everything stand out a lot more and seem more clear, especially the front page. The only worry is that it also makes it all look a bit like a BBC clone, but I think that it is distinct enough.

It seemed like a good idea to do some cleaning up and rearranging of the recipe posts while there still weren’t too many of them. They are looking much better with the addition of styled ingredients boxes, and the change for recipe steps from unordered <ul> to ordered <ol> lists.

There has also been a lot of bug fixing for Internet Explorer 6, and while it doesn’t all look perfect, nothing is actually broken anymore. I wish that we could just forget the existence of IE6 but far too many people are still using it.

The ‘About John’ page has been reworked, and some more content will be added there soon. Both that page and this one, are actually not WordPress ‘pages’ but are category archives with category specific templates. The text on the left half of the page is the category description, and the right half contains category posts.
