Re: FIRST Website

I am finding it slow to load and harder to navigate than the old page. At first, I wasn't able to get to any sub-sections of the website because the Javascript hadn't loaded properly. Also, I am a bit worried about the main page's mousing over images changing the video link, since that seems entirely unintuitive with nothing labeled.

It seems that now that everything is actually loading properly for me that the page is pretty nice looking and not too hard to use, but I wish the contrast on some of the text was higher and that the site wasn't so completely reliant on Javascript. I don't see a site map at the bottom and I am worried how my Wii will handle browsing it.

Eww, and the Javascript navbars prevent me from ctrl-clicking links to open them in a new tab. It just uses Javascript to change the current page. I really dislike when sites do that. It makes them a lot harder for me to pull down massive amounts of information from at once, and really is completely not necessary.
