New day, new day

The swap for registration seems to have yielded dividends against bots. So that's always good. :) Less admin to do.

Reign, D, and I (and any others who want to) probably need to look at the homepage and graphics soon, before it becomes a standing issue for us all... I can't believe it is beyond us to do these things.

Well, I can look at 'em. Can't offer solutions though! :P

That's the issue.

I think we need something to occupy actual www.horrormoviefans.com which currently is an infogator login homepage space. So I know that is going to need addressing. Once we figure out how to put a homepage in place there, we need a homepage with buttons to the forum and any other thing we intend to undertake, or just to the forum if better. Very receptive to any ideas here.

We also said (a long time ago) that we want to bring back banners and things. I know there's an option to customize graphics, but the one thing we didn't work out is how to add graphics to our stock of them, so that we can pick and choose them. Jason has done more than anyone on the look and feel, but I think we've hit a wall here.

Once we do those two things, HMF will officially be up and running, and will be a lot easier to promote etc. As it stands the url being a big no-pager is a bit of an issue.

Reign and I need to sort out how to log in and edit that side of things. D, I presume, would be suited for graphics, but he's not the only person I think should be burdened with things like that. Will help to make it clear what we need and how we need it once we get into the site.

Any other help and ideas will be welcome, but I think Reign and I in the first instance should work out what we can do at the first point of call.

I can purty things up. That's about it. I probably won't illustrate, as I've been feeling burnt by that lately, so I'm continuing taking a break.

Not an issue. Won’t ask you to make anything. If you’re not feeling it then there’s no reason to force you. :)

It's about you and your lady. Not the size of the crowd. Dan Band works at any wedding. The reactions will be priceless!
