Previous Incarnations: The Modified Original
November 10 to December 9, 1997
In November 1997, style sheets were implemented throughout the site to create a white "canvas" for the text to rest on. It degraded to a white cell, for older browsers.
The dHTML used for a period in the current saila.com was completed in this revision, and degradability was improved.
The new logo bar was added to give users a textual indication of where they were in the site. On the left side of the green bar, the section head would appear in white.
Although I liked the intention behind this site model, it’s been changed because it always seemed slightly grimmy.
With the next look, saila.com was cleansed, but maintained some of the cues from its previous incarnations.
