Kinda done with the "all colorful" website... I want to change the layout and the basic look (till keeping it easy to navagate and good for dial up)... any sugestions or point me to a template U might like?

Also, side note... 61 inch TV huge price drop (PM me) and adding my couch (2 recliners, queen bed, built in phone).

Do you just use HTML for the site design or something else? I'm bored these days since Chris never schedules me to work much, so I could do some stuff on the site. There are A LOT of broken links/misplaced licnks/etc. on the site. Pm'ing you about the TV, too.

HTML and a editor (frontpage2K- I'm lazy). I don't see any broken links or misplace links. Where did you see them?

I didn't mean to say bad links but they are actually linking to the wrong place. for example, if you click _Anakin_Vader_ in the table, it takes you to thatsMISTERwookiee's user page. Clicking on 4 Sale at the bottom opens your default e-mailer and mails to danzelmo@danzelmo.com.

The direct link I can't add, Cat would have to request that, as far as I know.

Some of the links R fixed (no clue how that got messed up).

E-mail does work, but I can only get a few megs (attachments) via e-mail from that account... it' redirects to my personal e-mail. It also seems to re-direct very slow. I'll put my personal e-mail in the page cause it's more stable.

I will re-work the whole page (it was never intended to stay up as long as it has, it was just a place holder and got out of hand) but I need input as to what it should look like.

Looking at the other FF pages it's all nice but too busy for my taste. Too hard for a charity or a kid to find info fast.
One thing I learned doing professional pages and webmastering is keep it as simple as possible. Not always the nicest look but baisc and effective, that can change.

But I can do whatever is required.

OK, my bad. That E-mail link was going to tucson-fanforce AT cox DOT net not to me, I had a seperate "webmaster" e-mail.
I think this was done way early (I seem to remember Cat and I talking about it), as I said that page was meant to be a place holder, and never the finished product. I've made a few changes and it's easier to get in contact with us now via e-mail.

(click for larger image)

Beta for the "new" website... needs input.

Colors, fonts, layout, less graphics, more graphics, move graphics, change graphics, add pages, rename pages, etc.

The left sidebar will remain constant on ALL pages

Looks real nice and professional. Under "members", will it have our "character/costume" pictures, (i.e.; for you, red guard, jawa, for me, wookiee, Qui-Gon (better get him finished!))?

Sure, if that's what U want. In that case I would like to have the JCC profile linked (like it now is), pictures of our members with and without buckets (for those of us that armor up). That gives much more of an approachable and personable touch to anyone looking at the page.

Looks pretty good layoutwise, but even though a black starry background is so cliche, it would go a lot better with the graphics. Maybe we could get a picture of our backdrop(s) and use that as the background.
Another thing is we might want to have "Next Meeting" and "Next Event" stuff on the opening page, just cuz it would be a waste of space to make an entire page devoted to that stuff, and its really useful just to be able to glance and find it.
I realize that some pf us have dialup, but the site is really boring for us DSL/Cable-ers. Maybe we could have some opening page that could take you to a Dialup-friendly page, and also an awesome tricked out graphic-y version.
Just a thought. It might be a little too much work. But it just isn't really Star Wars-y enough.

I also thing Jack's idea would be cool. Have a "Bio" section or something...
