Agreed. I'll tighten that up. It's only settings.

Yes, I had accidently used Heading1 for the section titles. I'll
change that to Heading2 which is much more appropriate.

In all honesty, I'm MUCH more in favor of white on black for the
aesthetic and how images display. After all, this is a photography
website. But the current aesthetic is black on white and with the new
retina class displays, it looks quite nice. For OLED type of displays
the white background does use more power, but for all backlit displays
there is no difference. With my 1st gen iPAD and my computers, the
white on black is nicer because of the visible LCD pixel frames, but
on the newer displays they aren't visible.
> Curious about the twitter connection btw?
The T3 Framework is the underlying technology behind the "responsive
template" that is used here which adapts the website to any device.
The template is built on the Bootstrap code which is developed by
Twitter. The font engine is provided by Font Awesome. All three items
are tied in together with various licenses that require that slug of
information to be displayed somewhere on page.
I've been developing the new website in both Drupal and Joomla. Drupal
is faster, more efficient, more SEO friendly and more/better. But
we're at the end of Drupal7 and Drupal8 isn't quite ready. Drupal8
would be the preferred way to roll, but I can't wait much longer. The
other advantage of Joomla is that it's easier for me to bring over
existing articles from the original zone-10 site and the basic
structure is the same as the original site which is built with Mambo.
I am having some issues with the template and how the menu structure
works in it, though, so I may end up with Drupal. Either way, the site
has to be built with this style template. I'm still running into
issues with the online page editor in Joomla, where it fights your
formatting. Old bug in the software that's been there for 15 years.
What about the general structure of the lens information? What
sections to add, change, etc.? Also, could I get a volunteer or two to
help with the building of those pages?
As to the comment about advertisements on the page, well, it's life as
we know it for free websites and apps.
