We have a frontpage!

Postby **admin** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 1:37 pm

I'm proud to announce that after 1.5years of hard work and theexceptional contributions of a large amount of volunteer webdesigners, we have now a spanking brand new frontpage.

It can be accessed at http://diestoremoval.com/frontpage for now, this may change once we have more published content.

We have one volunteer editor (thanks imopen2!) but we are looking for other volunteers for managing the frontpage, so feel free to express your interest.

If you want to contribute with an article, post a thread here and we'll go from there.

Thanks and Godspeed

I can be the other editor for real

also I will be contacting WOTC again about that spoiler

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 3:03 pm

I've stated I don't mind editing.

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 3:05 pm

I only offer because we all know that Kait is busy doing EVERYTHING for this site and I don't want him to be overwhelmed

I don't trust you to know how to read or write

I can't read this post, but I only can assume that it's some shitty retort.

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 3:10 pm

Change the site announcement to a link to this post?

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 3:19 pm

Yes. When people come to the forum, WE HAVE A FRONT PAGE is a much more important message than Razzies

I'm doing the razzies this w/e lets wrap this up first no need to be in a hurry

To be precise.

Should we upload MTGO footage? It would be very tedious for the frontpage editor too work on solo though... (its tedious even for me just too place them on Youtube

).

Col. Khaddafi · Postby **Col. Khaddafi** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 3:30 pm

We can put whatever you guys want as long as it fits in an html page. what exactly is a task for our forum strategists, so lets discuss ideas. We can also link to the best channels we may have in twitch, etc...

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 8:49 pm

People really like watching videos with discussion by the players. We could do a VS. series or just DE videos like MDU does

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 9:26 pm

I'll record some solo 8mans instead of streaming them on twitch for yolos. I'm sure someone wants to watch me make infinite angel tokens...

Kaitscralt · Postby **Kaitscralt** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:15 pm

i will guest star on everyones videos

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:18 pm

I'll do a VS, video with people if they lend me the cards

Postby **admin** » Sat Jun 14, 2014 10:43 pm

A few things: the frontpage has a 'score' system that decides the order the articles are shown. Articles with a lower score apear first at the top while higher numbers "sink" to the bottom. Its very easy for an editor to rearrange the frontpage articles.

2. Don't forget to add at the end of the article: discuss the article here: link

and make the appropriate thread

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 2:50 am

How are we advertising the frontpage? I'm imagine most of our frequent forum users have it bookmarked which bypasses the frontpage completely.

Postby **admin** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 9:58 am

Once we will have more content and feel confident enough with it the frontpage will be diestoremval.com and the forums will be forums.diestoremoval.com

I'm curious if you guys are ok with updating a topic daily (Monday - Friday) - or if you can somehow give me permission too do so myself.

I'll like too continually update the WonderMeow Animation page whenever I release a good one (which won't happen until another 2-3 weeks) and too start up a page called:

That seems exactly like the kind of stuff we want to promote in the frontpage.

Look, lets make a deal: If I make a tutorial post on how to post and edit an article here, would you agree to maintain your article in the frontpage? It seems so much better than having a middleman you would need to aske everytime you need to update the page

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 3:58 pm

That works for me

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:39 pm

Working with HTML is fairly straightforward once you know a few things (how to nest tags, what tags are, where to look for help). I can help by PM or in this thread.

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:20 am

If you search "Mono Blue Tron Primer" on Google, we're the 5th result. We should update that primer since the deck is becoming more popular now since it's a cheap deck to play in Modern

Some quick design comments on the frontpage:

The browser tab icon/favicon should have a transparent background. It looks weird to have a white square with the skull in it. (this icon should also be translated into every sub page of the website.)

diestoremoval.com should be white or smaller, it competes with the logo too much for my eyes attention. The tagline "healthier alternative should etc" should be brought up closer to the diestoremoval

The outer glow on all the header text NEEDS to be removed. It's a complete eyesore, and does nothing but "cheapen" our aesthetic.

Also, the drop down menus when you hover over each header, all breakout in different directions, I recommend making these all consistent.

Hi, nice to meet you, I'm GR.

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 2:42 pm

Thanks for the recommendations but we don't know how to do that!

Postby **admin** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 3:18 pm

No, no these are valuable comments.

Some things I can fix, others would need a dedicated webdesigner, but I'm gonna look into at least implementing some of your comments into the css design. Thanks for the feedback

DroppinSuga · Postby **DroppinSuga** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 3:45 pm

Get to work admin!

1) I've put the
logo in white as you suggested.
2) I've tried to get rid of the outer glow, I gave up. If someone with webdesigner skills can check the css of the page with firebug or something, let me know which are the proper .css tags to be modified.
3) I've updated the favicon

that's it for now

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 9:02 pm

I saw the tut, I'll attempt too update the page on Friday (in future-land), which is basically your Thursday

Postby **admin** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 9:15 pm

Awesome! thanks for contributing

magicdownunder · Postby **magicdownunder** » Thu Jun 19, 2014 7:09 am

I'm really Noob at this sorry

But I can't find the menu which allows you too "add content" this is all I can see after logging in:

Postby **admin** » Thu Jun 19, 2014 1:12 pm

Huuum, maybe its not your fault, but just that you are not seeing the same menus by not having administrative rights.

Try this direct link to edit articles instead and tell me if it works (replaces step 2)

I really do hate that glow on the font, why do some things not have it while others do?

Can a non-admin member try and post something random so we know it isn't just me?

Postby **admin** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 9:01 am

I'm gonna admin you and that will solve the problem for now

edit: done
