5 Great New Ways To View Elepharts!


Elepharts has some pretty exciting news to share with you now about... Elepharts. Yes, we're taking a momentary break from reporting on the biggest entertainment news on the planet to talk about the great site that brings you... all the biggest entertainment news on the planet. But really, the news is all about YOU. More precisely, how Elepharts is now bringing YOU the power to easily choose how YOU want to view our amazing content!


As of right now - you can click on one of the five new options in the current sidebar to determine how you want to browse the latest, greatest celebrity gossip, movie and music news. Maybe you prefer just to flick through the latest pictures. Maybe you want to scan all the headlines. Maybe you want to have it all at once! Well, now YOU CAN. So here are some more details on the viewing options (just click on the titles to give them each a test spin):

1. Sidebar: creates a left-hand menu bar with all of the articles listed. Clicking on a title opens the article to the right.

2. Flipcard: This visual view places square photos side-by-side in neat little rows. Hovering over any photo reveals the name of the post and the date it was published. Flipcard has the unique option of reorganizing posts based on recency, date or label.

3. Mosaic: takes the photos related to each of our blog posts and turns them into a visual experience — a mosaic of photography. Hovering over any photo with the mouse increases the size of the image and displays the title of the post in question. Clicking it will open the post as part of the mosaic.

4. Snapshot: turns our photos into a Polaroid-esque scrapbook with the title of the post clearly visible. Hovering over a Polaroid displays a short snippet from the post.

5. Timeslide: This is a three-column layout that displays recent posts. The left column shows photos and short snippets of our most recent articles, while the middle column displays only summaries of less recent posts. The right-hand column is simply a list of titles of older articles. Timeslide essentially encompasses three different time periods and makes them accessible.
