A very subtle change occurred on campus today. No, it wasn’t the mysterious JunkMail Digests that appeared in our inbox, rather a step forward toward a better future.
At the request of Public Affairs, we updated the Public Facilities page. With the ATI we’ve been cleaning up some of the pages on the campus web server as we go just to make sure we’re covering our basis. I noticed that the Public Facilities page was using a University template that appeared to be from the late 1990’s.
So, I cleaned-up the page and made it accessible and valid HTML, etc. In addition, I tossed the content into one of our “beta” templates that’s built upon the YUI Reset/Fonts/Grids foundation.
We hope that this foundation will eventually be made available to other web contributors on campus. Right now, we’re still finding corner cases and looking for ways to abstract CSS into components for more of an ala carte option.
