home page

wow! it was a busy week at NGL.

I did manage to have a great conversation with Kelly Muldoon of SilverKey in Chicago about the user interface. Specifically we talked about the home page and what needed to be done to improve the user experience.

I worked on it some last night and intend to post the new version today at some point.

I created a new module for "Newest Events" that shows the last 10 events that have been added to the database.

I also got rid of the statistics (too depressing) - haha and the login module. I'll change the Register Link to be Login/Register on the top menu bar so people can log in when they need to.

Kelly also brought up a good point about the geo-coding/location-awareness of the system. that is to say it needs to be. So i'll go back to the drawing board on it. :)
