New look for the site

[rstueven]

I'm working on a new layout for Beer Me!, that you can preview at beerme.com/newsite. Be advised that a lot of the links on the main page don't work yet, and some links may even refer you back to the current site. But the Regional Brewery Guides and the individual brewery files should look OK. Let me know what you think.

I'm just about ready to upload the new version of the site, maybe tonight or tomorrow. If you haven't checked it out yet, the working copy is at beerme.com/newsite. There's also a side-by-side screenshot in the previous post in this thread.

Let me know what you think!

I've revamped the look of the site! With luck, I haven't broken too many links. If you find any problems, please let me know either via the comments page, or in this forum thread. I'll be hand-checking the links and functions as well as running Xenu's Link Sleuth to find any errors.

Let me know what you think!

Known problems:

• The beer list isn't formatted correctly.
• Beer In Airports isn't working at all. (This one is my top priority at the moment.)
• The update form isn't formatted correctly.
• The Alphabetical Brewery List is showing some weirdness.

Except for the Beer In Airports section, aAll of the functionality seems to be intact.

Beer In Airports appears to be working now. It's the new XML version; let me know if you prefer this one over the old monolithic list.

I got a message from someone who says he uses the site all the time to plan trips around the country so he can add growlers to his collection. He missed the "Show/Hide Closed Breweries" function from the old version of the site and asked me to put it back.

I got the code working again this afternoon, and at the moment (17:25 GMT-6) I'm uploading the new files. The checkbox should be back in its place on the left side of the page within the hour.
