What You think

Blog?

http://mess-hall.co.uk/

[DJ-Daz]

I like both the old and the new templates.

Just needs some content now.

[Symonator]

not keen on the white, it makes it look the same as any other blog.
Nothing unique to it at all.

Have to look at it with some content.

[InfiniteStates]

I like the style and idea, but I'm with Sy - be nice if the colour scheme matched the forum and the old home page.

[theENIGMATRON]

Well thats good, More feedback than the last template

You say Unique, Have any ideas without any moving Animations,
I was attempting to keep it Minimalist for speed.

Nothing worse than a blog thats laggy and takes ages to load?

But am open to all ideas!! What do you think?

[redVENGEANCE]

for a start we need a nice decent logo

[Symonator]

wheres rich pot noodle when you need him! lol.

As for theme dave, get a darker theme...the layput is alright actually, just the boring nothing of colour

[DJ-Daz]

I agree, lets try and keep it themed like the rest of the site.

I do like the idea of switchable backgrounds too, like the image I posted a while back...



With the blog in the middle.

then we can add something like shopto.net as a target for said title.

^Trouble with that is, it's one giant image to load. And if it changes, caching it won't do much good either. Might be better to lose the thin strips across the top and bottom so it's 2 vertical banners and immediately cut your load time by about 60%.

What about now:

http://mess-hall.co.uk/

[DJ-Daz]

again another nice theme, just needs some content to give us context.

[theENIGMATRON]

Well i can pad it out with all sorts of content, and get some nice plugins working for it, like Game Ratings and so on, so Pending on the ratings we give the game it will be in top 10 - 20 - 50 or w/e

But dont want to start adding anything unless everyone is happy with the theme..

Ill upload a pic of the final look of it

[theENIGMATRON]

[InfiniteStates]

Hmmm...those pics look nothing like the link I just followed.

The pics look good - the link looked crap.

[theENIGMATRON]

Well if you like that Design, then i would Aim for that.

It was a starting point, but i never wanted to spend hours and hours and people say then did not like it,

So if your happy with the image i uploaded, that will be my final Goal
