    • Although it is not fully finished (images in older news are still missing, I am not done migrating from my old site yet) and a few content issues are still present, I thought I'll show you the website created with the Technozine template. :)

      www.wcsaga.com

      What do you think? :D

      No errors, no random CTDs, just pure fun and proof of why getting hit with missiles is a bad thing.

    • I loved the Wing Commander Universe! I might have to check this out.

      Not a bad job on the site, but I have a few suggestions:

      1. The fonts are a bit small. I know that is the style for gamer sites, especially that tend towards the harder edged sci-fi styling, but it has always looked a bit cramped to me.

      2. Where is the intro text? Having the latest news on the front page is great, but a must for any site is to introduce itself clearly and succinctly, on the home page, so that the surfer knows what is going on!

      3. The WCS logo in the upper left hand corner is very nice. It looks like it should be a link. Finding that it was not a link made me sad.

      4. Favorites icon should be changed. I've been guilty of this as well, and will be again, but I'm trying to do better!

      5. The date looks good in the navigation bar, but unfortunately the start of the home button does not quite line up with the lines for the left column, which is a bit distracting.

      Nice site! Keep up the good work!

      Yes, it is bothering me as well. Right now, text size is 11px, height is 130%. Setting it to 12px makes it look a bit clumsy though. I am not sure what I should do.

      A good point. I might consider it! However, If I do that I'd have to add another menu link. There is not enough room for that, so I would have to increase website width. And since I can't use center tags on some sites (due to some template problems) all pictures will be out of size again (media/screens/...).
      3. The WCS logo in the upper left hand corner is very nice. It looks like it should be a link. Finding that it was not a link made me sad.

      I see your point. I assume it should link to www.wcsaga.com ?

      I have a problem here however:

      this area is specified within the index.php
      <div id="logoarea">

      and template.css
      div#logoarea {
 
     width: 200px;
 
     height: 183px;
 
     background: url(../images/tz_logo.png) bottom left no-repeat;
 
}

      Is there an easy way to add a link here without specifying new module there? My knowledge of css is limited...
      4. Favorites icon should be changed. I've been guilty of this as well, and will be again, but I'm trying to do better!

      Yes :)
      5. The date looks good in the navigation bar, but unfortunately the start of the home button does not quite line up with the lines for the left column, which is a bit distracting.

      Good find. Random image was causing this issue. Reducing image width by two px fixed this. :D

      Thanks for the feedback! :)

      Especially the version where you could fire on your own ships and they would do nothing. ;D
