UPDATED: Main Page Redesign...
It's going slowly, first module is up. "Featured Blogs."
To get into that list you must have a blog rating of 4 or above from 5+ bloggers OR I have decided to make it a feature :)
Happy voting! I'll try to get the rest of the redesign done over the next few days, but I thought this was important to get up ASAP. Please let me know if it needs more whitespace, line divisions, etc. I can't decide what would look better :) So it's up to you!
Oh, you MUST BE LOGGED IN for your vote to count toward the feature list, remember that!!
I like it! It looks good so far. :)
I added the second module. I can't tell if it looks too busy down there now. What do you guys think?? Check out the main page
Its a little busy, but I might get used to it.
Ok, How's that look Ms. Evie? I kinda like it now :)
I like the "writers" part a lot. My suggestion to de-busy everything else would be to remove the preview pics from the "recent posts" column, so it's really just a straight feed of post titles, without all the white space or lines. Especially since not everyone puts in a preview pic, I think it would help make that column look more clean and unified. This is basically what I had in my mock-up, in case I'm not explaining it well.
How about this, if there isn't a preview image I'll stick in the person's profile pic? Or make a flask icon as the default. People are drawn to pictures, at least I know I will click on a link with a picture before I'll click on a naked headline. That's just me though :) What does everyone else think?
The more I think about it, I think you're right Becca. There are just too many pics down there. I'll fix it in the morning. :) goodnight everyone!
Ooh! I really like it the way it is, good job dude! Im also partial to pics in my clicking choices, Im for leaving the pics in. I like the default/blogger pic idea if none is entered.
I think it's looking good, Brian. I'm one who lkes a little breathing room between columns, so maybe increase the white space between the main column and sidebar at the top. And/or maybe but a simple container/border around the sidebar. I do like the "From the writers section", though I do think taking the preview pics out of the recent posts section might be good.
Pictures! Pictures!! I love the one w the pictures! :)
The other looks empty to me.
Totally Love the new look.
I really could go either way on this one... Everyone check it out and tell me what you think. I'll get the "Most Commented", "Best Rated", and "Most Viewed" sections up later today.
