My Navigation Kinda Sucks
After reading an article on "Web Navigation", I realise my fundamental flaws in my site's design. An update to be scheduled soon I think.
The article in question is Where Am I? by Derek Powazek. Even though there are some obvious points in there, it's amazing what you forget, don't think about or just plain ignore.
Whilst reading through the article, I kept referring back to these pages on kapiti.geek.nz. As it turns out, I need to update a few things:
- whilst I tried to provide some sort of "Where have I been?" using the stacked menus of the left, it fails miserably
- the breadcrumbs (which I must admit, I've always liked) have a "Navigation>>" line above, but nothing happens in there - why?
- the original design also had the above menu options highlighted when you were in that section - I didn't do it
- and I am lazy since I don't un-link the links for the page I am currently on
So overall, I give myself about 4/10 and a note from the teacher which says: "Andrew must try harder and not let himself be distracted by others talking at the back"!
