Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Quiet City website updates...

11.10.07

I thought I'd start a thread in which I can post every time I update my Quiet City website - albeit it's not that frequent!

Anyway, the first of a couple of updates have just been done.

I have updated the news section, several of the album pages, and I have added Retro Future and Metal Beat to the discography.

I have also changed the layout very slightly by getting rid of the white lines. They were starting to feel a bit boxy and restrictive, so I have set it all free!

However there are a few typographical glitches that seem to be beyond my control, mainly the leading. I build my website (rather clumsily) in QuarkXpress. Looks fine on screen... then I export it and all the text has squashed up! I'm yet to find a way around this, so you'll just have to bear with me. And because I do it on a mac I have no idea how it looks on a PC, so fingers crossed for the best results!

Anyway, I'm hoping to get new photos and stories etc uploaded over the next week...

I've just sppotted some stray text in the menu on the news page! Why do I always spot these things when I'm at work and unable to do anything about it?!

Quark?? I coverted to InDesign two years ago.
Much more lovely...

I work in both.

I have to work in Quark in my day job. But last year I converted to InDesign at home. And it is vastly superior

I'm still trying to convince my manager to change to InDesign....

But when I came to make the site, I already knew how to make a basic webpage in Quark, rather than learning how to do it from scratch in InDesign (if you can?), so it was the quicker, easier solution!

Quark? InDesign? Pah! I work in Notepad. Only raw CSS and XHTML is good enough for me.

*does 3 million press ups and punches self in stomach to demonstrate hardness*

Notepad,you dont know you were born.

When I were a young I.T. lad i used to edit websites using Unix VI...that was painful....

Notepad?
I used to dream of working in Notepad...

Hmm. Looks like I'm gonna have to start a new thread in which I can post every time I update my website!

I hereby rename this one the "what do you make websites in" thread!

Hi Alex,
The Quiet City looks good on Windows PC.

You certainly have put together a good and informative site.

Well done

Peter

Thanks Peter - I really like the photo of John you took at Cargo
