Testing the new website
Helloooo CardMeeting ppl,
The new website is up! Check it out @ http://CardMeeting.com
Whew, that was a tough upgrade! A lot more work than I thought it would be. Anyhow, CardMeeting appears to be hosting meetings appropriately and working ok. Gosh, I'm proud of this new website! This is definitely some of the most complex CSS work I've done, felt like I was folding proteins by-hand there at times. I'm just glad I'm starting to refine the product's message and tell a bit of a story.
On the main page, I lead in with my new slogan: Team, Time, and Talk. Each word is hyperlinked to a page where I will connect the benefits of CardMeeting to those aspects of your life. I'm still working on the content for those pages, so the links are blanks right now - stay tuned.
Right from the main page, you can login to either your meetings or your community using the form that's located in the upper left. Meeting ID's are formatted as Mnnnn and Community ID's are formatted as Cnnnn The community's meeting list page is so much nicer now that I've styled it and culled some useless columns.
Also on the main page, are two brightly colored buttons. One to take you to a demo meeting (the old Sandbox meeting, right now), and one to let you create a new, password-protected community. SO much simpler than the old website, I love it!
I also made one small enhancement to the card editor in the meetings with this release. If you type more text than can fit on a card, you will now get a scroll bar! Thank you power user Ed, (who also inspired me to redo the website, incidentally), for the good suggestion. I don't let you scroll a card when it's not in edit mode, but at least now you can access the text that flows past the bottom of the card now by calling up the editor...
I've made many changes and a bug could have slipped past my watchful eye, if you spot any trouble, please let me know at the email provided below. Thanks for using CardMeeting!
Cheers,
