Showing Off Wasdale Mountain Rescue

Hi,
Just looking for feedback on http://www.wmrt.org.uk. Particularly from anyone using IE9 since my PC is running XP I can’t test it in IE9.
Thankyou for an excellent theme!

It looks good in IE9. In fact, it looks the same as it does in Firefox 6. I love what you have done with the top-nav bar and the footer. A very creative use of what is otherwise usually blank space. Please tell us how you did this.
Thanks,
Ken
Thank you Ken,
For the header I hooked onto the graphene_feed_icon action hook and used numbers greater than 10 (the default) for the order. Since all three added bits are floated left I gave About Us 11, Contact Us 12, and the Rescue Counter 13. Then I cloned the CSS to match the nav menu.
eg:
<?php
/* — Adds About us link to top bar — */
add_action(‘graphene_feed_icon’,’wmrt_about_us’, 11);
function wmrt_about_us() {
echo ‘<div id=”wmrt_aboutus”><link a href=”‘ . get_site_url() . ‘/about-us/” title=”About Us”><span>About Us</span></link a></div>’;
}
?>
I added link to stop the forum software mangling it.
Hope this makes sense, and thanks for the feedback.

Using backticks is your best bet for this.
Action hooks! I was just looking into this today and seeing how they could be used and then here’s a perfect example. Talk about serendipity. You’ve definitely given me a lot to think about here.
Thanks,

Looks good! Maybe add little icons for the sunset and sunrise time? Also, it’ll probably be better to define a background colour for the header (eg. black), so that it won’t be see-through while the header image is loading.
It looks amazing 🙂
How did you add that ‘Want to join the team?’ text at the bottom of the site?
Mod
Not sure, but that looks like a custom menu added to the footer menu area. I haven’t messed around too much with the footer menu, but it is one of those other under-utilized areas.
Jon, you are really making good use of everything that Graphene has to offer. Well done!
Ken
