The New Format

The TAJwatch blog has a new format.  Google's Blogger calls it "Dynamic Views" because the viewers are easily able to change how the posts are displayed by clicking on a selection from the drop-down menu that is found in the upper left hand corner of this page, just under the Blog Title.  The different looks have functional value, as some make it easier to glance through past posts, while others show pictures better, etc.

Also, don't forget that there is a search field in the upper right hand corner of the page.  Enter a search term there and watch the blog respond -- especially when it is in "flipcard" format.

Across the top of the page, underneath the Blog Title, there are words that represent different pages.  The pages are HOME, WELCOME, MANAGEMENT OFFICE INFORMATION, MAPS OF TAJ, and  USEFUL LINKS.  Select a page and you will see different information provided to you.  Click on HOME to return to the posts.

One draw-back of the new format is that "widgets" and "gadgets" no longer work.  All the links that used to be on the sidebar of the previously formatted blog are no longer there.  However, you can find some of those same links (the most useful ones, in my opinion) through the USEFUL LINKS page.

I am interested in feedback.  Feel free to email me or to comment.

By the way, the official Townhouses at Jacaranda website can be found by clicking here.

  2. Don't give up or be discouraged. Keep trying and you will learn the new button combinations and routes of getting things done in the "dynamic view" format. Try clicking on the home button that appears in the upper right hand corner, and sign in from the blogger dashboard.
