Krylar, I like the new layout for the home page. I think more people will look at the articles by having it set out that way.

But where will you put any interesting news? I suppose this is what the forum is for.

Great Stuff.

Vaid point, where would you put the news? I don't know, I guess that is what Krylar's job is

On the news front, for those blitz basic people out htere, I think I read that Blitz Basic 3d was done, or at mostly done I think. Should be interesting to see what can be done with it.

Thanks! I started noticing massive drop-offs in article reads after they left the front screen. Just in that change from yesterday, the reads went up a lot for even older articles.

As for the news, it was getting stale very often. The same news pieces were sitting there for days or weeks...and I just don't have time to stay on top of it. So I figured it'd be better to get the articles in. If there's big stuff happening, the boards will probably be a good spot and will, if nothing else, spark discussion

Thanks for the feedback!

Cool new layout - to be honest I hadn't previously found the articles section. Liked your perl tutorials - gonna have to try that stuff sometime.

Just a thought.

When a new article is posted in whatever category, maybe you might want to put a big bright "NEW" next to it, so that it catches the attention of the viewer.

That way regular uses can see any new additions without having the scroll through all the time.

Otherwise you can make a mixed category up the top just with "New Articles".

When an article is more than a month old, it then ceases to be in the "NEW" Category.

Just a couple of ideas.

Good idea. It'd be much cooler if we had tons of articles coming in (HINT HINT) As it is we'll have that "New" on an article for about a month. But it's easy enough to hook up, so I'll put them in there.

Thanks!

Yes, I know you are always hinting for more articles.
I am working on Guide Number 2 - We can believe the Bible.
I am about halfway through it so hopefully, next Monday you will have it.

Yeah, I have another Christian article too. I just need to make some changes and do the formatting thing for Krylar. But I won't be able to do it until school's out. Kinda pressed for time here...

Okay,

The "NEW" graphics are up Thanks for the suggestion.

And, yes, I know I keep dropping hints about articles...but I don't wanna leave "NEW" up on stuff that's been around for 2 months (which some of those "NEW"'s are right now !).

Thanks!
