Downtown Live! "Discover Downtown"

[TheArtist]

  I figure there is already a thread on this somewhere else but couldnt find it right off lol.

I hadnt looked at the website since its "soft opening" a while back. But just looked at it again.  WOW, that little website is looking great. Its much improved and the features on it are fantastic. The web designers have done a great job. I remember, not long ago it seems, sitting in a room with a bunch of folk tossing around ideas about a map and a possible website, and now here it is. And I must say, it looks quite nice and very professional. 

Remember, this isnt something paid for by the city or some corporation , it was something dreamed up by a rag tag group of TNers and done through the hard work of volunteers and with donations.   

I really encourage everyone to explore it and add to it,,, and sign up!  Add some pics and comments, help us keep it up to date, and keep making it better.  This can be a great way to promote Tulsa and help its downtown area begin to thrive. 

I would like to suggest that in that dead, dark blue space at the top of the TN page,  we put a link to the Downtown Live! "Discover Downtown" website. We get a lot of hits on here and the Downtown Live! site would seem to be an important sister site for us to link to.  Especially since we created it.

Check it out and tell us what you think.

Maybe at some point you can add support for event listings. For instance, it would be nice if the music venues (i.e. http://www.downtownlive.org/details.php?id=277) had a listing of upcoming shows. This information could be added by willing visitors (I already add a lot of local shows to last.fm).

That is coming in the next few months.

Borked on Firefox

.left-col .the-show {
   background:#2E2922 none repeat scroll 0 0;
   margin-bottom:5px;
   padding:14px 0 13px;
   text-align:center;      /* remove this line to fix it */
   width:666px;
}

Edit... OK.. there's more issues than that:
<div id="homeSlide" style="height: 14px; position: relative; width: 2px;">
(the slideshow image dimensions are definitely greater than 2x14)   either remove the width and height from this container, and/or toss position:absolute from the div around the slide image....  (same div also has the wrong small dimensions)

It works on firefox for me but I know they are still clearing up some issues. I just passed this along to the coders.

Site looks very sharp Griz. 

I'm not seeing any bugs in Firefox, Safari, or Explorer.  Consistent in all (and that's usually a chore). 

Good work.

Can't take too much credit, I'm just the customer on this one.
