Blog & OPAC Modifications

It is the start of the work week and it is off to a mad rush. I made a couple modifications to my personal blog (the one you are reading) and the Medicine Hat College Library Service Blog. A weather widget, courtesy of Environment Canada, was added to each. If you want to build a WeatherLink for your website, click here [sorry, Canada only].

To make OPAC entries clearer in the browse-results lists, the results' numbers were aligned right, highlighted in a light green with a dark green right-hand border. You can view a sample by clicking here. I was hoping to create a different effect, but the CSS does not allow for it. My hope is that this new highlight will make it easier for patrons to see where an entry begins and ends. A couple of other minor changes were made, but they are minutia and not worth discussing.

A couple of minor fires were put out along the way - information desk questions (two if you can believe it - one of which was a complex question about wireless networking in the college) and we discovered how to edit PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Standard and Professional.

And so the day continues...
