About Sandbox

  • This is a place for a few people who work at a newspaper in Kitchener-Waterloo to share stories and pictures that wouldn't necessarily fit in newsprint.

    Think of Sandbox as an online magazine that collects extraneous journalism. If therecord.com was a DVD, we'd be the special features.

    Current contributors: David Bebee, Colin Hunter, Ben Gelinas, Chris Wilson-Smith, Karlo Berkovich, Ryan Chen-Wing, Dan Belgue and Amy Fuller.

Making more interesting buttons

I posted a slideshow from game 2 of the Rangers series with the Soo. For Rangers slideshows we have been using the same boring button.

18oldrangersbutton

It is the same for each slideshow, so the buttons don't differentiate the content. It is the the visual equivalent of linking the word "here" (not a good thing).

I tried making a button unique to this slideshow using on of the photos in the show.

18newrangersbutton

It still could be improved, but now you'll be able to tell the media apart by the picture. THis one is the one with Spaling attempting a wraparound.
