	Okay, i was fairly sure there was a thread for this... but i couldnt find it so i'm making a new one Firsty, just wondering who's doing/ supposed to be doing this? How's it going? and secondly, in my boredom last night i jumped into dreamweaver and had a crack at a site. It's pretty basic, but i took the first page from the old one and formed the site around that. I've filled out some of the details that were excluded from the old site, and updated others, but it was just me filling time in my boredom so anyway, here's my basic site. Have a look and, as always with my geocities sites, close the advertising bar -----signature----- Dark Apprentice to I_am_Kooky [link=http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/21744086/p30]Here Lies The BEST Non-SW RPG EVER![/link]

	I think it looks great DV but I don't know who is handling the SAFF site or if it is being updated. I honestly do not know, I am thinking MS has an idea -----signature----- New Jedi Order Fan Club - Grand Admiral Wild Knightz Lead.

	The details for logging in, ftping, editing etc were passed on months ago... Good content DV The pros + cons associated with Dreamweaver are many, but it looks like you've come up with some pretty reasonable stuff. It would be very easy to put your content into the existing site and use the correct styles as per what's up there. If you like, I could pass on the details to you about logging in, updating, the CSS, what to do (and not to do) with Dreamweaver to ensure design consistency etc. Let me know. -----signature----- The official website of ROOT! the band - http://www.roottheband.com.au/ Support me during Movember 2009: http://au.movember.com/mospace/21391 Llamasoft make great games.

	I just had a better look at the site DV, it's really good, you've put a lot of work into it. You did also get my email address wrong though it's masterskywalker72@yahoo.com.au & SAFF's email is safanforce@gmail.com besides that it looks really good.

	Had a better look at what you've done. Two things stand out: 1 - You have a good sense of structure with your writing and photos / page layout. Easy to follow, good links to the relevant threads. It's this stuff that I always ran out of time or was too tired / busy to be bothered keeping up with, even though it's not particularly time consuming. Good job. I'd recommend that you be the person to update the site's content....in fact, I am . I'm sure everyone will be happy with that. 2 - I've had a look at the source code for the stuff you've done. As I suspected, it's generating page by page CSS rather than relying on one stylesheet. Not a fatal flaw, but a potentially issue filled one if visual consistency is wanted. Luckily there's already styles developed on one stylesheet (where the look and feel of the site can be changed easily if you so desire). I'll pass the 'instructions' onto you via PM or email so you can get started. The one rule to remember that if you want big changes is to not alter the way stuff looks directly in DW as you would in a word processor (like Word) but to edit it in the stylesheet. It sounds convoluted but you can effect (for example) a site wide change that could be a half to one hour job into a minute or three. -----signature----- The official website of ROOT! the band - http://www.roottheband.com.au/ Support me during Movember 2009: http://au.movember.com/mospace/21391 Llamasoft make great games.

	MS- i'll change the emails, that was from memory so yeah . Skipp- i could easily make up the CSS and chuck the link in, but i figured for the moment as it was just a basic version that i was just chucking together, it wasnt necessary. I will make some changes tonight (this morning really) and let ya know. Any tips/hints you could give would be appreciated. Thanks for the feedback guys EDIT- I've updated the site with the proper email addresses and put up the CSS. I'm still fiddling with it so i'll let you know when i update something -----signature----- Dark Apprentice to I_am_Kooky [link=http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/21744086/p30]Here Lies The BEST Non-SW RPG EVER![/link]

	thanks for that DV, I like the work that you've done. Thankyou. If it's going to be the "official" site though it will need to be transfered over to the site name on our banner: safanforce.info address.

I will make some changes tonight (this morning really) and let ya know. Any tips/hints you could give would be appreciated. No worries. I see that you've separated the CSS + HTML now But YOU don't need to update CSS or design. It is done, and done properly/well might I add . The content that you've done (and hopefully are updating) is what needs to go onto the official site. Don't stress about making your 'site' work perfectly per se, what's important is getting your content onto the one that's there. Which, given you've got a pretty good clue about what's going on, should be easy. A short and simple matter of putting the content you've created (and will create ) into the existing HTML (or I can do it, but you seem more than capable). Will pass on details to you asap. Ahh, I see I've hopefully answered your PM question here now. Edit: for a test, I've moved your content to the real pages for the Upcoming Events. DW still chucked in some styles and formatting that needed to be rejigged, but it only took about 5 minutes. So I guess we have two options - you write the stuff, get it to me and I put it in or I pass on the instructions for how to update it. The second one is more efficient, but try to keep consistency with the code/design. Edit 2: Intro and Past Events pages updated. DV - that took me 45 minutes...I'm more than happy for you to do it -----signature----- The official website of ROOT! the band - http://www.roottheband.com.au/ Support me during Movember 2009: http://au.movember.com/mospace/21391 Llamasoft make great games.

	_Master-Skywalker_ posted: as to what is happening with the site I don't know. DR & DR were going to upgrade it, now I don't know. Well, even though this is a few months back - I was waiting to be contact by Darth Revan to see about his involvement in the project. The method I had intended on doing was a transfer over to php server side includes, which would be just simply editing the content via html files placed into the main page by an include tag. However as to the design of the site, I was under the impression that the design wasn't wanted to be changed, so I was clueless as to what to do. Anyway, if someone else wants to take over the project, ie Jemzly/DV, then please go right ahead. Frankly, I've lost the ambition in waiting, as with just about everything lately. If anyone would still like to try the method above, i can supply a link to a tutorial to do it yourselves. However in my opinion lately, the method above is a crude form of a CMS installed system (Content Management System) which would require far less effort to do. If you would like an example of the CMS, try the one I have installed on my Clan Website, http://www.ivclan.com The CMS has an administration panel that allows news content to be added, edited, arranged, as well as blocks placed in particular areas of the site. One issue with this is that being we are using forums provided by IGN.com and the forum software may not be able to be integrated into the CMS. -----signature----- http://www.biohazegaming.com - Biohaze Gaming Community - "Spread the Infection." http://hyperblog.biohazegaming.com - HyperBLOG

	Okay. I'd be happy to take over with the site. But as far as i was concerned it was simply a content upgrade, nothing more nothing less. I made my site as a basis to show the content i believed should be in the site. If i were to take over i would be simply taking what is there and making it current. AS i said, i'm happy to update the site, but i'll need the details to do it. -----signature----- Dark Apprentice to I_am_Kooky [link=http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/21744086/p30]Here Lies The BEST Non-SW RPG EVER![/link]
