[MLA] MLA web site

[Grimm | Eelco]

Hi Kevin,

It’s a madhouse here, sorry for my radio silence. 

> Thanks for getting the links that I was able to recover put up on the Links page. We haven't heard from any other members about the ones I was not able to recover so we'll just have to go with what we have there.

The links that are there seem fine to me. We can always add more later on, let’s not wait with releasing the current version.

> I do have the correct text and links on the Home page now. If anyone sees any problems or potential improvements there, let me know. I had to move the content out of the "Left Column" content area so I could add the hyperlinks (perhaps I can type HTML code in the Left Column text box but that doesn't seem right). This puts the content in the middle of the page which is fine. All the text is centered which is not so pretty.

I’m actually fine with it. And I _love_ the logo!

> Let's go for left justified or something. Also the styling on the links is too subtle - they show up as underlined only when you hover the mouse over them. Let's have something a bit more obvious to indicate these are clickable.

I agree. What about the simple solution: only make the ‘here’ words clickable and underline it always. And the title of our paper should be in Italic. 

> The links on the Links page and paper on the Papers are in the "Left Column" content area. We'll need to find a way to make layout consistent with the Home page.

Yes. I’d say: just choose the same background color as the background of the “Papers” text. That way it looks more like the home page. In the Contact us page you may also choose that color.

> I get an error when I try to open the Loudness Normalization paper on the Papers page.

It works for me. 

> In addition to getting this working, we want to have a direct PDF download link.

Perhaps. It works for me like it is already. 

> The Loudness Normalization paper has a tidal logo. That is not appropriate for this paper. If we want a graphic associated with this paper, maybe use this

Why not the MLA logo? Perhaps with a certain background color.

> We do want to include a link to Eelco's paper (https://octo.hku.nl/octo/repository/getfile?id=qLlZPGSVXFM <https://octo.hku.nl/octo/repository/getfile?id=qLlZPGSVXFM>) on the Papers page

Yes, with another background color maybe, in the right column. 

> We have decided not to have an About Us page; all that information is on the Home page. You have removed the About Us link from navigation at the top of the pages. We still have an About Us navigation at the bottom of the pages.

It’s fine with me: some people search for a ‘home’ button. Others for an ‘about us’ page. They will all arrive at the same page now...

Let’s get this site on air as soon as possible. It is already much better than what we have now...

Cheers,
Eelco
