Back At It

Some people might have noticed that the my.dsu.ca site has gotten a makeover. This visual overhaul was performed by the talented Andrew Shouldice. This overhaul has garnered a lot of positive feedback so far, and it is my hope that prettier site = more visited site.
Besides some obvious visual enhancements, some long standing backend items have made their way into the release. Notably, tags have replaced categories, meaning that individuals no longer have to scroll through a multitude of categories to select the one wanted. Additionally, there are a few more options for finding events, notably searching, and browsing by group.
There are still a few things that could be done better, notably with how categories are browsed (alphabetical as opposed to by order perhaps), how items are displayed on the front page (a month’s worth of events is hard to scroll through, though that is a sign that it is being used more).
All in all, this transition has made me want to do even more work on it a bit more often. As always, any comments and criticizms are more than welcome.
