Stating the obvious, Version 5 of RohJuh.com’s got a fresh, new look. If you’re scratching your head, then you’re either new to the site, have a bad memory, or need to hit “Reload” on your browser. Here are some key highlights of RohJuh V5:

• W I D E S C R E E N! I kind of went against convention and made the site pretty wide (1100px to be exact). For most people, it should be fine as long as you maximize your browser window. If not, get a bigger screen.
• New logo in preparation for a worldwide marketing launch to further brand awareness. Or not. The logo now also serves as the site’s favicon (that little icon to the left of the web address in your browser). You’ll need to clear your browser’s cache to get the new favicon.
• Hot new nav bar. The links change when you hover over them; that’s pretty typical. What’s unique is that the reflections of the links also change. Cool!
• RohJuh Shuffle is now on steroids - 6 random pics instead of one for your nostalgic pleasure. In addition, the four latest Featured Adventures are displayed.
• The scaled gallery pics will be are nice and big at 800px wide instead of 640px (it will take some time to update all albums to the new size).
• Site-wide, unified search. RohJuh V4 only had search for the “blog” portion of the site and not the “gallery” portion. RohJuh V5’s search will combine these into a single search. Unfortunately, this will take more time to implement. For now, the search will remain for the blog only.

I’ve done a lot of testing on my development site, but can’t fully vet through everything unless it’s on the production site. So expect some things to not work for a while as I clean everything up.

UPDATE (Mar 19, 2008): I think I’ve got pretty much everything cleaned up. There are still some IE (6 and earlier) issues related to PNG images, but I’m so tired of kludging things for this lame browser that I’m inclined at this point to just say screw IE. If you’re using IE 6 or earlier, you really should upgrade to Firefox, Safari, or IE 7. If you’re using one of these browsers and notice any strange anomalies, let me know!
