Ah, k.
I thought Whits had started on the site (don't know why  :? - i guess i'm wrong.)

I deleted then edited it BR.

Thought I was seeing things for a minute.

Whits took over the forum, but as Sonic said the person who was going to design/set up the website buggered off.

I'll do a course in Web site design and knock one up :)

I started on designing the website and putting a few bits and bobs together,but i've been struggling with time at the moment.

I've also had a lot on my mind in past few weeks which has meant i haven't had much chance to continue (see thread in gen disc called yesterday). i'm back in hospital next week and all things going well that will be the end of it but i honestly don't know whats going to happen.

If anyone with web design skills would like to get involved please let me know.

Cheers
Whits

I don't know too much about designers - but i thought an up and coming webdesigner would jump at the chance to get their name on a site with a forum as popular as this one?

Designing and building the site isn't the problem, I, and a few others on here, could do that no probs.

But... as I've said before, content is the issue. To maintain and update a site with all the stuff the TEF members would be expecting is a hefty, time consuming (and unpaid) job.

The forum is alive and kicking. That would always be the heart of a fully blown website anyway, surely?

I think something might be nice.Even if it was just something that was updated  at the beginning of every season with a breif outline of the squad  or some general league 1 / 2(next year) piss taking

Dogging or having Cancer is no excuse for your laziness.

I don't think much is needed either.  The kind of things on thisis don't need to be duplicated, just a bit of piss-taking like Yeovil said.

I'd be willing to do the content, I said it before and I'd quite like to do it but college work would come first.

Surely at some point you could incorporate doing stuff on here into your Media coursework?

Whits my man - I hope all goes well today, best wishes.

Post by: Whits on Wednesday, October 12, 2005, 11:52:19

Good.  The game was obviously pap again, but if you had a good day out and got tanked up it's not so bad.

Was the atmosphere any good?  Couldn't really tell on the tv.

I'm gonna have a go and doing a front page this sat afternoon and evening whilst watching soccer saturday.

Anyone got any ideas for the front page?

Obviously some sort of menu/linkage for the forums, fake profiles, prediction league - what else would people want on there??

Simple, nice layout and an intuitive navigation system.

My original master plan was to have all of the updated front page content just streamed straight from the Forum.  Admin could just whack in the days news in the relevant section, sort a short summary on the front page with the story being linked to the thread in the forum.

You can then go pretty much the same way with similar content.  Just an idea but I’d mirror pretty much the breakdown of the forum.

Match Day Action/Reports
News (Covering players, management and other football stuff)
Stadium Re-development News/Opinions
Away Travel
Columns (Smeeton’s view from the Watchtower?)
Letter/Rant
Official Poll

Each section on the front page could be updated as and when required.

Stick in the obligatory ‘About’ section perhaps with some standard info such as ground location, getting there, history, who’s who for visiting away fans and your laughing.  Nice touch again would be to do what the adver do and have the last five most recent forum topics linked to the front page.

And if anyone can get the active topics to sort into order by Forum Section then date/time (see adver) then I’ll perform an ejaculation into my own mouth.
