Updated: Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide

E-mail this page Print this page

Posted Apr 1, 2008

I’ve just updated the Big Medium 2 book with some minor changes and clarifications.

Big Medium 2: The Complete Guide is a comprehensive guide for writers, editors, designers and administrators. The new edition includes these changes:

  • There’s a new “Quick Start” section in Appendix A, “Installing Big Medium,” that provides a compressed set of installation instructions. It’s a useful quick reference for old hands who have installed Big Medium before and just need a checklist to get going.

  • The diagram of the <%navigation%> widget’s HTML structure and styles has been updated and corrected in Chapter 10, “Widgets.”

  • The PDF book has always been thoroughly cross-referenced with links to related sections; alas, those links had no visual cues, so they weren’t obvious. All links are now colored and underlined, web-style. One exception: The book’s table of contents is not underlined, but you can still click any item to go directly to that page.
