Title: Layout v6.5
Post by: Jack on May 15, 2006, 03:49:10 PM
So, how are we feeling about the layout tweak. Is it better than the previous one? Worse than? Any other improvements you might suggest?

All opinions (good or bad) are appreciated!

It's going well so far. The navigation tabs up top look much fresher, and the Quick Links are in a better spot now (and you added a cool, different Twilight Princess icon to boot :)). I only have two suggestions, but don't worry about them too much:

1) It may be time for a new header banner, but it's not a necessary change. The one we have right now is still good, but a new one may be a fresh look.

2) As mentioned in my comment on the main page, I think that the Link-with-his-candle picture should be switched up, perhaps with something Twilight Princess-related. I know you were going for a Phantom Hourglass approach for it, but TP is far more anticipated than PH as of now (I believe...). It would be a bit more exciting, in my opinion. Key word my. It's your site  ;)

Just a few thoughts. Great continuous effort on the site, Jack  ;D

From just coming on here real quick and seeing them for the first time, yeah, I like them.  They somehow stand out more than the other ones and may make it easier for first-time visitors.

The layout looks much better.

EDIT:  The image of the Goddess of the Sand (if that is her) should at least stay if the banner is going to change.  Or at least get another pic of the statue.

I couldnt have said it better myself Blank! I agree the new icons for ask ezlo, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hour Glass, and Caption game catch the eye, and are a bit more colorful, or so it seems. However i also agree that the head banner could use a tweak. Possibly a collage of all the legend of Zelda games. Links look has changed many times over the years. I made something in art, with all of links different looks. Its just my opinion though. Small and insignificant. ;D Good luck jack

just a suggestion for the banner,
you could have an "evolution" thing with the original link on one side going through all the links to TP link on the right. and it the background you could have a desert area from each game blended together to tie it all in.

Evilbob, that is an excellent idea.  I second that motion.

I certainly hope so, seeing as how this is his topic!

I like this new layout. It's clean, refreshing, and, look! A clock at the top of the screen! ;D

For improvements, I don't really see the search text box (I'm not blind, am I?), and it would be cool if you had more easter eggs in your site, like the Leever at the top of the screen that says something when you move your cursor over it. That would be sweet!

But, other than that, I'm satisfied. Nice job, Jack!

Will that Leever ever tell us how many Tingle's it takes to screw in a lightbulb?  Put in an answer, please.
Title: Re:Layout v6.5
Post by: MagmarFire on May 24, 2006, 04:42:08 PM
Oh, we already know the answer to that one: three; one to hold the lightbulb and two to spin the ladder. ;D

Crud... I need to change that.

You should also change the Link with candle thing. Switch it with a Gerudo. It is more traditional. ;D
Title: Re:Layout v6.5
Post by: Jack on May 25, 2006, 01:14:52 PM
I've never been able to find a Gerudo picture I like for the front page. Maybe TP will have some cool Gerudo official art (doubt it though).

Either way, agreed, Candle Link will go soon.

Have you checked Google, Jack?

Post by: Hi no Seijin on May 27, 2006, 02:35:10 PM
One of them looks like fan art.  Jack would probably have to get permission to use that picture.

I deleted the message because it streched the page.  I can't make links short like when shadowlink13 was refering to Solid Snakes warnings, he only had 1 and 2 as the links instead of the entire sight name.

To do that, you type:

(url=http://www.thesiteurl.com)Linked word(/url)

But with brackets instead of parentheses.

I haven't checked the other sites, so for me to say that this one is the best, would be a little naive.  But I feel safe here, and I never leave a place that I feel safe.  That's why I never leave my basement.
