Well? what do you think?

this certainly isn't a finished product so don't look at it that way. this is one of hte simple blogger templates that i had to widen a little so thats why its a bit off. i'll throw a few up here in the coming weeks so that we can all get a feel for some different stuff. i kind of have to say that the forum idea isn't going to work with-in bloggers capabilities. in order to do it we'd have to host our own site, maybe pay a few bucks each month and actually put some effort into a site design.

i can already say that i don't like the way comments work on most templates like this one, i don't like having to read the comments in the comments post section thing. i just don't like it. the poll and the small talk thing aren't gone forever so don't panic, when i can get a decent finshed look i'll bring them back. right now its not worth the time or effort to switch the code in and out of each template i want to try out.

so what do you think? this one was slick and easy so i tried it.

my team by team break down will be coming along shortly. it seems there is demand for my insight so i shall provide it. sorry brian. i'd talk hockey but there isn't anything to say, i wish they would at least start talks between both sides so that maybe next season won't be fucked up too.

I like it Matt. Needs a poll. And a tagboard. And more movies/pics of naked women. I would like to have one internet page for all my internet needs.

Well, we tried the naked pics, but that didnt last. It was too... well trashy. Nothing like a big puss staring at you from your favorite blog. Anyway, i like the colors scheme, and profiles. I'm not sure i like the format of the comments. I dont like being redirected to another page to read them. The profiles, wasnt exactly what i was envisioning, but it could probably work.

the comments suck. the color scheme is good. matt said the tag board and the poll will come back so that cool. the profiles dont work because only like 3-4 or us are actually making our profiles public.

no naked pics, its just not the place. links, sure but everyone knows the one stop porn place is hands down al4a.com.

yeah, we've been through the porn thing already. i've now fixed the comments so they pop up, should make them a little better. the tagboard and poll will be back when we finalize stuff. the profiles thing is interesting. if this were only one person's blog if wouldn't be a list of names, it would be just that one persons info. since this is a "team" blog its just links to all of us.

can we condense the txt any, maybe fit more on the screen at any one time?

I think you're on to something here matt. Good job doing the popup for comments. It's better than a whole other page. Good colors too. Keep experimenting.
Text size can usually be changed with the View pulldown menu on a browser. Firefox at least. prolly Explorer too.

i also like the pop-up comments much better.

yeah i can widen the text box to fit more horizontally but i run into the problem with what resolution people run thier screens at and how big you make your browser window. technically speaking, most web sites are designed for 800x600 viewing, which sucks. i can make the text smaller over all but as macunas stated that can also be changed in the browser itself.

i like the new color scheme, comments in another window are kinda shitty but its not that big of a deal. widening the text to fit the full screen is a good idea, or something to fill the empty space. Keep up the good workermonkey
