| NEW UPDATE!! | ||
|
Welcome to the news page. Originally the site contained all the news on the front page, which lead to slower loading times and very little content on the front page. This has all changed in the new site design with the latest news item being the only news on the page! The front page has had numerous changes, I'll try to list them all here: 1) the background image. The old image has now found its home on the news page (was very fitting I thought :) 2) the random quote. Some you have heard already, some you haven't heard. every time you visit the site, theres a random quote on the front page. feel free to refresh the page and see a new quote (it won't alter the counters!) 3) the new news system. Instead of having all the news on the front page, there is a little section for the short version of the latest news, with a link to take you to the full thing.. thats how you got here! 4) the voting poll. I will try to update this regularly (regularly being after its had a good number of votes, so use it often!) 5) the important announcement. With only a small space for the latest news, I wanted a small section that could contain an important announcement for everyone (such as petitions to sign, companies to call repeatedly, etc :) this is just below the picture on the right. 6) the information. The site now details on the front page, what each of the sections contain, or will contain in the future (such as the guide), and the visitor information (the counters), and the little w3 logo saying the page is properly coded (yay!) so that's the front page, what else is there? 1) the E-card Service. Currently in its beta stage, I hope to make it look a little better later (updates first, minor aesthetics later!) allows you to send a free card to people via email, give it a go, send yourself a card if you want to see how it works, christmas is coming up soon, send christmas e-cards to your online friends! 2) the guestbook. This goes without saying, I don't have high hopes for pages of signatures but it would be nice, please feel free to sign it and make it look a bit more interesting! 3) the news page. Well, it's here! finally a page where you can read the news, and post your own comments on each news item! ever wanted to point out the spelling mistakes or just want to support a new idea, feel free to leave comments and respond to others, just no abuse please! 4) the gallery. While the other features are all new to the site, the gallery is the first dramatic replacement of a feature, with tracking stats and folders to group the photos, the gallery is a significant improvement over the previous 20 pages of pictures in no particular order. 5) last but not least, I added a new site to the links page, www.scifinews.net, in the honorable mentions, if you have a look, you'll see advertisements for this site at the top of the page and on the right if you scroll down! well, thats it for this stage of the update, more is on the way! |
