Version 3.0

Version 3.0
Released: 07/02/05: Successfully moved from CityDesk to Movable Type, as well as minor changes to design (header is now much smaller). CityDesk was a good content manager but I could not afford the upgrade from the 50 item limited free version; in stepped Movable Type, a more comprehensive system with no such limit.

]]> More changes can be expected for v3 of 23rdOctober.com, but the first big step was to move to a sytem that could handle over 50 items.

Version 2.4

Version 2.4
Released: 11/01/05: Streamlined the Latest Photos display on the homepage to one thumbnail which is now clickable and removed photo galleries from the main list. Also added previous and next buttons to photo galleries.

Version 2.3
Released: 07/12/04: More tweaking of the look and feel, most notably widening the main layout by 100 pixels.

Version 2.2
Released: 07/11/04: Rearranged and updated the site, introducing an Archives section, for old wedding information (See The Big Day Link). Also updated the site to reflect the fact our wedding is now in the past! Oh and fixed Yvonne's previous fixes ;o)

Version 2.1
Released: 23/10/04: Important fix by Yvonne on night before wedding.

Version 2.0.3
Released: 21/09/04: Minor tweak to css. Links can now be discerned in the Important Panes.

Version 2.0.2
Released: 03/09/04: The main banner graphic has been chopped in size from 26k to 4k. The colophon and about pages have been updated. The timeline information within The Big Day has been consolidated. The important panes have been made more visible.

Version 2.0.1
Released: 01/09/04: The blue background has been modified as it was appearing as gray on a lot of monitors. The shading on the main content area has also been improved.
