With this article, I've made a few changes on the website. The most obvious are the blue shaded links on the top of the page, a new entry "NA Weather", and some other minor cosmetic changes. The Weather page has some images and links commonly used to get the weather around Vancouver, and we check these before every flight.
A major change is the introduction of "categories". I use the words "categories" and "topics" inter-changably. I can now segregate my articles into different topics. All existing articles go into a topic called "General". For now, I've added only 1 new topic : "Aviation Tidbits". In the future, I will be able to add any number of new topics. The topic to which an article belongs is highlighted with the article. This article belongs to "General", and the same is highlighted on the green bar above, to the left of the date and time this article was published.
On the main page, all articles will be displayed, irrespective of the topic they belong to. It is possible to view articles from a particular topic alone, by selecting appropriately from the list on the top right of the page (just above the calendar). So currently I have 2 topics, General, and Aviation Tidbits.
If you only want to see a particular topic each time you visit, you can bookmark a direct access to that topic instead of having to open the main page and then selecting the topic. For example, if you only want to see the Aviation Tidbits topic, then you should first select the topic from the list, and bookmark the resulting page. This new bookmark will take you directly to the respective topic page, bypassing the main page.
The main page and any topic page displays upto 10 articles written during the current month. Older articles can be viewed by navigating from the calendar section - just below the topic selection list.
I made these changes in an attempt to enhance the website, by giving it better structure and usability. If while using this website, you should find any cosmetic or functional deficiencies, please do write to me (use the link above).
