Dear ExplorOz Reader, Notice something different recently?
The ExplorOz website has had a face-lift!
New Site Layout |
|
Look above at the header in this email (if you
receive this in html) and you'll see that the major change is the
menu structure. The Forum, Shop, Trader etc is still all there but
the major change is that all the content has been re-categorised under
3 main topics - which says it all don't you think? |
Trip Planning | Vehicle Requirements | On the Road |
When you use the menu from the website, each heading also has 2 levels of menu beneath it.
The first level names the topic (such as Navigation) and the next
level lists the pages within the topic, so now you can go directly
to the page you want with just a glance and one click.
These changes enable greater room for content growth
and now advertisers can choose in which page they want to advertise
based on topic headings, so it's better for you and for business.
Note - because we really "bend the
book" with our web programming, you will get a superior
experience on ExplorOz if you use the latest browser versions. The
new site layout has been tested with various versions of Microsoft
Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The best results come from
IE 6.0.26, IE 5.50.4132 and Netscape 6.1, although Netscape 4.78 is
also fine. But not without heartache from the web programmer and his
poor family (yes, many late nights... sob). |
