Mega menus are essentially a dropdown content panel that can have multiple columns of navigation link lists, styled headers/category groupings, etc. — essentially anything you can define as web [...]]]> http://www.elshaddai-edwards.com/2010/04/megamenus-redux/feed/ 5 http://www.elshaddai-edwards.com/2010/03/thumbnail-index-page/ http://www.elshaddai-edwards.com/2010/03/thumbnail-index-page/#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:47:17 +0000 ElShaddai http://www.elshaddai-edwards.com/?p=1244 One of the features of my latest project, Contempora Corner, was the creation of a custom page template that is used as an visual index page for a specific category of content.
