STOP RIGHT THERE, DHARMA!

I lied before. Actually, I didn't, it just recently became a lie. HTML no long works... not hand-coding, anyways. I turned on the WYSIWYG editor for less HTML-savvy users and it now apparently ignores any tags written into the text field - that is, it treats "<"s and such as characters, and not tag open/close-y things, so it uses the HTML code to represent them and everything goes haywire.

The solution? You can use the editor, or, if you MUST code yourself, just be sure to hit the "View Source" checkbox. Then it will show you all the code for the text, and you can add any code you want while it's checked and it will show appropriately. Neat, eh? Don't forget!

And where's that layout, pal?! ::) Just kidding, I'm sure you're working on it... right?

Thank you for warning me before it was too late.

And as for the layout, as I posted before, I'm doing all that I can, but I'm suffering from major lack of inspiration... or rather I'm inspired, but not for that.  Would you mind if I were to get together a few of my graphics buddies to help out?  I mean, they wouldn't want any monetary compensation or anything, but they'd at least need to get equal credit.

kamakaziplumber

NO.

Oh wait, I mean, yes. Go for it! If you think it'll help, then, don't hold back. And, credit will be given where credit is due, so don't worry about that either. So long as it's great, we'll all be happy, including Jack. ;D

Bah, I submitted my news article... I'm not so sure about the coding, but that's your problem now, KP.

kamakaziplumber

APPROVED!

I split it up just because it could be, hope you don't mind. Front page is kind of stuffed with articles as it is, so, wouldn't want people to miss the rest!

Also, coding was fine except for the CRAZY font thing. I fixed that though.

Carpet Merchant

I'm a fair writer, so I'm told, but being a PS2 owner I'm not sure how much use I can be on Zelda game guides and reviews unless you let me do older ones. :(

Axel

well, if we're discussing layouts here, tb, might I suggest a black and red look???

Keaton

...black and red does not suit the Desert Colossus.

Think, Spirit Temple colors.

kamakaziplumber

Yeah, I think Jack was right on the money with the color choice. It's just a matter of making it all prettier.

... Tacheon, didn't you just say you weren't going to work on the layout anymore? Don't say that! :'(

And Merchant, I don't know how much we need game guides for older games... I think they're all accounted for, for the most part...

Yea, I guess your right. Maybe you could move some of the right handed stuff on the left, like have to bars a left and a right side. So it might look a little nicer that way??? Oh and a new banner would do the trick to... maybe... :D

DW

Moving the banner would make it like a lot of the other Zelda sites though. I've grown attached to this layout.

Or we could just make a more attractive banner?

You have no idea JDog

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

:sigh:

I tell you what.  Why don't you go ahead and make one with your 'gay Photoshop' and we'll use that one.

That is, IF it's better than the current one.

Zelda Veteran

No, no, we're working on something incredible.
Don't waste your time making a new banner, because we already have one.
Just sit tight for a while.
