JokesHive.com - new look and feel, an all new refreshing look

It's four months since I updated the www.jokeshive.com last. Although there has been no updates on the application, I have been working on the new version albeit slow enough to take 4 long months. Here are the highlights of the upcoming release -

1. Revamped Home Page with new color scheme. Earlier it was too bluish.
   
   JokesHive.com: Old Home Page
   
   
   
   JokesHive.com: New Home Page
   
   
2. Got rid of jQuery tabs. They were not easily manipulable. I was having problem enabling/ disabling the jQuery tabs based on user login.
3. Introduced “Menu” on the top bar. It was probably obvious evolution once I got rid of the tabs. But was not eye-catchy. I had a fear that user may miss the 'Joke Box' and 'Crack a Joke' links in a big way.
4. Hence came two big click-able image icons – one for 'Crack a Joke', second one for 'Joke Box'.
5. Revamped the footer look and feel & added content to the urls that includes making this blog available as one of the links.
6. Changed the data-type of the Joke Content to GAE - “Text” type. This would allow JokesHive to allow big format jokes which seems to more popular on western hemisphere. However, it is not yet supported, need to work on UI changes to accommodate this.
7. Introduced 'show more' link on the scrolling pane on the home page.
8. Started using qtip2 (http://craigsworks.com/projects/qtip2/) for UI tooltips.
9. Changed the color scheme of the mobile app.
10. Refactored the codebase of make them more modularized.
    
    I guess I still need some more time to tie few loose ends.
