Removed Awards content. Added an explanation and pointed to https://sovrenracing.org/awards/.

https://sovrenracing.org/membership-handbook/

Added link to the standalone SOVREN Competition Rules and Car Eligibility section of the handbook. This is a convenience for people coming from the Rules page.

2023-03-06

Have reached out to many SOVREN photographers to ask for assets, terms of use, etc. Ongoing dialogs to get specific photos, but everyone amenable.

Added inline-buttons CSS class to theme’s Additional CSS. (Use by specifying “inline-buttons” class in the Advanced settings of a row containing buttons.)

https://sovrenracing.org/media-credentials/

Added photos from Patrick Krohn. He approves of this usage, with photo credit and link. Will continue the pattern.

2023-03-08

Eliminated default green links in some restyled pages by changing the body link color in General Settings / Typography to match the hardcoded blue (0x0000ff) in various HTML. (Stylistically, don’t love it since it doesn’t match the site theme, but it is more usable. Think more about this.)

Flipped to first cut of redesigned home page.
1. “Racing the way it used to be” banner.
2. New multi-image sliders for Race, Volunteer, Experience.
3. Restyled next event, including photo credit link.
4. “You Should Know” blurb with some of the suggested enticement for getting Historics attendees to do the Spring Sprints. (Layout could be improved.)
5. Announcements.
6. Classified Ads.

Flipped to simplified main menu.

Doesn’t have problems with text overlapping the logo, wrapping horribly, and having a weird overall organization.
Enabled Search.
Seem to have found a bug where a white hamburger mobile menu won’t show up, so using yellow instead on mobile.

Added more content to global footer. I believe that between new main menu and footer there is no significant loss of navigation from the old menu.

2023-03-09

Added Instagram and Classified Ads to global footer.

Revised global main menu after discussion with Sherri and Brian.

Enlarged logo in global header.
