Website Waffle

Will’s faithfull K9 companion Sam has died recently and along with many others who have either met Will or listened to his podasts I offer my condolences. But why is this sad event relevent to a blog about revamping the BritishMac.com website you may ask. The relevence is that part of the restructuring which has been carried out ‘behind the scenes’ has involved creating a landing page and another separate main page.
Most of the time, the landing page (where you are taken if you type http://www.britishmac.com or http://www.britishmac.com/index.html for that matter) looks identical to the main page or home page (depending on which term would make more sense to you) linked to from within the website. However at times it was anticipated that it would be relevent for the landing page to contain information for only a short period of time (ie anouncements about upoming podcasts, listener meet-ups, etc). The reason for creating a structure with two separate pages in this manner was to make it easy for Will to alter the landing page without it impacting upon the overall structure of the website. This is something he has done recently to create a page which pays tribute to Sam (whose soft howls featured in a fair few podcats).
