My computer magazine "jump site" originally built over a decade ago! The site is one I have used for years to go to other sites without having to build a voluminous bookmark file locally. It receives regular updates. It will only render on "modern" browsers because of the way it is built.
The original was just a part of a single page site that grew into a site by itself. It still exists and can be seen here, with all its broken links. An updated version with the same design and some links repaired can be found here. These should render in older browsers because they have limited CSS and are constructed using tables for formatting.
The site continues to be "a work in progress" because magazines are constantly being consolidated, change names and focus, move from print and online to just online, go out of print, and change URLs. The most difficult ones seem to be the Arabic ones; because they do not have an actual presence, or the URL changes or vanishes. The only requirement to inclusion is simply to cover some area of technology and computers as their main focus. Most publishers of traditional print publications are headed to uniquely digital versions. IDC was one of the first. With the coming of the new year, Ziff-Davis has headed strongly in that direction (I will have to watch their URLs to see if they change.) Many sites have never had anything but a digital presence.
Many of the large publishers continue to add sites to their array of information covering different areas and tied together to form a portal for that particular company. The portals comprise the best part of this site; has the new face of the landscape since consolidation and mergers have changed what used to be. Jupiter Media joined the parts of more than three separate portals. Others changed ownership or names, or both. Fortunately, content did not suffer; it did in fact benefit. Portals updated 12/02/2010.
This is the new one, validated in XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.1; hope you enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: Gone is the JavaScript to give the date for Last Modified and replaced by discreet HTML since it would read the date the server rendered the page and was not correct anyway. Opera does not recognize the script correctly. Some pages do still have "frame-breaker" JavaScript to prevent others from enclosing my content within their frameset page. A change is to add this variation of the site with Javascript to each external link to open a new window so that you do not have to use the Back button to navigate.
