User:Eitch/Main Page
The main change is putting everything in hide/show boxes, with the result that on the initial load all the sections can be seen without scrolling down ( Does it work? Discussion started here).
Still to do:
- Fix TFP and Sisters - for some reason, the template I wrote doesn't like hiding tables. I've left the old TFP up for comparison. I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. Can anyone figure it out the problem in my code?
- Write a version of User:Eitch/Main Page/Framed hidden that supports multiple columns (so far, it supports a single column with multiple boxes, each of which has the same coloring).
- Can someone figure out how to make the heights of the blue and the green tables independent of each other?
- The width of Sisters is less than that of the sections above it (you can't appreciate this, since Sisters isn't hiding. The width of Languages is even less. Can someone figure out why?!?
Done:
- Broke things up into templates:
- Framed hidden easily makes things that look like TFP, Sisters, or Languages - hide/show boxes with a frame.
- Hidden2 easily makes things that look like TFA, DYK, ITN, or OTD.
- Welcome banner makes a welcome banner - customize the stuff to the right of and below "welcome to wp"
Hide/Show trouble: why is there too little space between the "Today Featured Article" headline and the FA; too little space between the "Today's Featured Picture" headline and the FP; there's too much space between the "Did you know…" headline and DYK.(disussion started here
The sister projects and other languages boxes should have the same color scheme - they're different to show two possibilities (discussion started here).
- I moved the "other areas" links to the top banner - nubies are the ones who won't know about the links already, and so they should be prominent.
I need someone with better table skills to figure out why there's an a little white square below the Today's Featured Article and Today's Featured Picture introductions (the whole line the square's on shouldn't be there; discussion started here).
Can someone figure out why the "Recently featured" links aren't hiding along with Today's FA?(fixed!)
The search box was written by Trevor MacInnis.
Many thanks especially to ChyranandChloe for programming help.

Wikipedia articles of the highest quality are declared Featured Articles. Today's featured article The oyster dress is a high fashion gown created by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen for his Spring/Summer 2003 collection Irere. McQueen's design is a one-shouldered dress in bias-cut beige silk chiffon with a boned upper body and a full-length skirt consisting of hundreds of individual circles of organza sewn in dense layers to the base fabric, resembling an oyster shell. The dress originated as a reinterpretation of the "shellfish dress" designed by John Galliano in 1987, which McQueen had long admired and sought to emulate. Contemporary critical responses to McQueen's oyster dress were positive and it is considered an iconic piece of McQueen's work. Only two copies are known to exist, one held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and one by media personality Kim Kardashian. McQueen returned to the oyster dress concept several times over his career, most prominently in his Autumn/Winter 2006 collection The Widows of Culloden. (Full article...)
