New Website

[Malin]

As you may be aware GhostDancer has kindly agreed to host a new Website for us.

Killerhorse has agreed to undertake the construction of the site for us but I'd like you all to add your views as to what would be cool (Within reason) along which if you've seen any really good websites please post up the URL so we can have a look and steal any ideas.

I reckon we should all send in scannned photos of ourselves, so we can do a proper roster sheet...problem is, not every1 has easy access to a scanner, but it shouldn't b too hard to blag one for a while

Pics and bios are nice...

Keep an eye out for web sites to incorporate ideas and/or emulate. Post here if you see something...

You could check out this one- Its the best one in the ADL, some of that Flash would be cool as an intro,

GD, I would like to use a flash intro....maybe with some pics that fade in and out....killer kinda knows what I want. Somthing showing charging horses. ELH web page should include the following. News section..roster, recuirting, links, commo section should include e-mail,fourm,battle com info. History and info page to tell peaple about us who we are and where we play and how we do it.

Pretty cool intro and a nice clean design. A bit lenghty on the intro though...

Guys,
I am not a web designer... I only do the server and software compiling, install, and configuration (the server, apache, php, forums software, internet domains, e-mail, stuff like that). I am NOT a programmer or developer. I have connections though.

PSSSSSST! you got connections buddy?
i might be able to scrape something up for you REAL CHEAP! (opens trench coat and shows stashed ELH parifinalia....) (and YES im wearing cloths you pervs!!! lol )

actualy i can use frontpage 2000 well enough to get a site layout. plus i got some other programs that uses a text based link layout that is realy nice. it makes a huge amount of pages though but as long as there is no complicated graphic content it loads them realy fast since they mostly simple text. the bad part, the way it names its pages makes it dificult for others to edit the pages. im sure we got the recorces to make a realy great site in this unit. all of us combined realy do know alot of things. lets see if we can pull this out of the hat.

Not mech related but the load up of the page is stunning. (Yup stoned again)

Let me know what you think

I do 3-D art as a hobby, and can make some decent photo-realistic renderings for Control panels, or even site artwork if needed. Let me know.

You can go to http://www.spaceyards.com and check the gallery for some of my stuff.

Rock get with killer or GD let them know you have the skill. Ties rocks shoelaces togather when he was not looking then calls him over.....hehehe

[Hammer]

Rock,
How about a replacement logo for that silly phpBB thing right - up - there...

WAIT! <thud> your shoelaces are tied together...

[ELH-GO-Rock]

Cool, I'll see what I can put together to remove that phpBB thing..


Question, does format matter? Does it have to be .gif, .jpg, .png, or .tga?

If it's gif, I got a great idea for an Erdani Animated logo........

<fires up the old Graphics Machine>

Damn, wish i had an Indigo box....

[Hammer]

Rock,
I think a .gif is quite allright! .jpg is good too... This thing runs on php 4 and Apache...
