So if there's going to be a full-fledged website here, someone or everyone is going to have to step up to fill that role. I'm not convinced Todd is on board for writing up more pages, much less filling out an entire website. That said, I'm here to facilitate everyone in the process of building a community website.
Correct!
I am not good at all at making a website...the original stuff is completely hacked together in an old version of frontpage. As much as I enjoyed making the original stuff, I knew it garbage, and would likely either get hijacked, broken or just turn people off quickly.
With that being said, I like that Holy is moving the main site/tutorial/manual etc into a uniform setup via wordpress. The graphics need some work, and we can all help out there...but the concept is going in the right direction.
If you are using IE8 you can disable the double vision if you want via the compatibility option at the top of the browser...maybe holy could be persuaded to add a turn on/off option under your user profile later down the road.
Kilroy, youre a great graphic artist, if you would be willing to work with Holy and some other folks on perfecting the main site theme with some upgraded high res graphics (holy we should go over the 'grid' style thing we talked about sometime with everyone) then we can get all the theme work out of the way and work on making the individual page information a LOT better than it is now.
I would like to ask for some volunteers down the road to help fill a section of the main page with a blog style news section, so that folks other than myself can update the main page with news about program releases (like your pumpkinpaster) and game demos and things like that. I think its important on the main page to make it look like the site is being updated and is alive.
More to come, lets keep the commentary on this post clean and helpful, and offer solutions and opinions to improve stuff here.
