Title: The future frontpage.
Post by: Snorkel on July 13, 2007, 08:36:08 PM
What we have in mind for Valentrinne.com (the frontpage) is a blog-style thing that will feature for the most part random, intelligently written content.

Approval of this idea? Thoughts? Recommendations for the frontpage? Other sections that would be good?

Why not the default Wordpress theme? We could replace the header image with something nice and boom -- a perfect homepage.

Sure. When it actually becomes existent (the blog-ish frontpage), I think we're just going to give anyone intelligent who wants to write access and let 'em at it.

Or a better idea is to have them submit something for approval the first time, and if it's worthy, give them access.

I suggest a simple WordPress theme with a custom banner. (http://valentrinne.com/sample/) Maybe even make it rotate. We can make it look real nice.

NO, THE MENU FOR THAT THING IS ON THE RIGHT.

Also, I'd rather we go all custom here instead of just taking what someone else made.

I'd rather we keep it nice and simple for our early days. As we get more hits and and we move on to greater servers, we can evolve the entire website.

Dialup users like Steal need to enjoy our delicious content too.

"Bigger servers" once we get more popular, for the moment, seems completely unnecessary...  I don't really see why this one wouldn't be able to handle whatever we throw at it, granted it wasn't a torrent site or something.  caterpie;

Bassir, if you think you could make a default WP theme look really nice, and you actually do, sure. But I still like the Terminal idea more.

Let's try to get both of them working, and then decide... maybe even let users choose which they'd like.  psyduck;

I like my idea, but Bassir was right about Using PHP and flash.


It was setting the Homepage up to look like an OS and the icons would open different news articles in a Window.

I've seen that done before... while it can be done quite well, mimicking OS X would be hugely bandwidth inefficient, and really annoying for anyone with connections less than super-speedy. Windows would be easier, but Windows is ugly.

You're an idiot. Look at what you've done. (http://valentrinne.com/sample/)

I find it amazing that the only thing keeping you back from a simple WordPress site is the fact that it may look "generic". The Kubrick theme is a beautiful thing.

I dislike fancy layouts. I admire mostly text layouts.

It appears that neither the Kubrick theme nor the Terminal theme are going to work out, so let's think of something else (NOT OS X THEME EITHER).  hmm;
