Although more work remains to be done, DI is making progress on its site reconstruction, as you can see. Many of our navigation features are now functional and the site mostly “works.”
Tonight, “Alistair” of Solostream [1](the company that created WP-Vybe [2], the WordPress template I’m using) helped me figure out what I had been doing wrong, thereby enabling the artwork to pop into the header. That artwork really helped to jazz up the place, I’d say.
Based on my personal experience (and based on my review of the company’s support forum) Solostream is a terrific company that provides first rate support. They offer several “magazine” style templates for WordPress websites, and their prices are incredibly reasonable. Check out Solostream’s [1] website for details and tutorials.
I’ll end with a bit of trivia: the “dangerous intersection” you can see in the header is a real-life intersection located at 8th and Cerre, downtown St. Louis, just south of the baseball stadium.

Just for fun, I’m including a map containing a daytime satellite view of the intersection and the raw photo I’ve been using for the header (I took the image about three years ago). It’s not the world’s most dangerous intersection, but I took this photo late at night when it looked dangerous to me.

More changes to the site are on the way, hopefully all of them good and hopefully no more crashes, which can happen when you stir 3rd party “plugin” into the site (these plugins are above and beyond the WordPress base and the Solostream enhancements).
If you have any comment or suggestion regarding design or navigation of the site, drop me a comment.
