A Very Big Announcement

Aug 17, 2008 09:55

I've been slaving in the CSS mines, punching out shopping carts, finding better shopping carts and getting terribly excited, cackling with glee, crying at Photoshop and deploring my lack of artistic ability, and the end result is:

Zee site is very pretty!

One suggestion (not CSS-related, sadly) is to provide, if you can, sample photos of the various types of product you can provide (the different sizings in actual size, and badge/mirror/magnet, made from the same product) so people know what they're getting.

The first interview is very keen - keep up the great content!

Also,

*hugs*

I totally plan to do piccies with hilarious objects as size-comparisons, but I need lighting, possibly a tripod, and some skill in photography. I will try very soon.

I don't know why the link would give me no love, I tried every bloody permutation but it kept spitting the dummy. Boo.

In other news, *hugs*.

Shiny! The site looks nice and linkage is intuitive. Loads VERY slowly for me, though, which is a surprise considering absence of Nasty Flash Animation (tm).

Soon as I have thought of a suitable background design I think I shall give you my custom for teh awesome "I'm not a geek, I'm a lvl 70 necromancer" badge I want. What size do you suggest for this amount of text? Will it fit on the smallest one? I'd like a small one...

Good luck with this! Awesome badges ftw.

Catherine is proud of her tech knowledge: The process on the web server that runs the site resets every night at 1am Brisvegas time. That means the first person to visit the site after that time gets the iiiiiiiincredibly slow load. I suspect that due to the wonders of time zone dfferences that todays' sacrificial victime was you. :) The rest of the time it loads pretty well!

The tiniest badge will probably not size the text very visibly from a distance, but I can do a quick mockup and see if you like it?

That would be really cool, thanks! Only if it's not too much hassle though.
