Twisted
Sorry about the last post. I got interrupted and I was just about to upload it but a friend came over.
Anyways, here's a new post. Working on another webiste (that's funny isn't it. How many website have I said I've been working on?). I did finish my last one. I just didn't feel the need to publish it. It's there if I ever want to though.
My last website was a guild/clan website. In the end, I didn't want to publish it. I love the look of it though still.
Anyways, my new website. It's a fan site. In fact, I have a sneak peak of it here [link removed]. Looks identical to this site. I copy and pasted the code and edited a few things. I'm trying to do a few things with it though.
You see, it's hard to find a lot of information in one spot for Twisted Metal. The closest thing is www.tmalliance.com, and the site is poorly laid out, sections are outdated (Small Brawl hasn't been released yet according to them... it has been out for awhile). I mean they update it obviously because they tal about Twisted Metal Head On Extra Twisted Edition (it just came out this February).
They have done a great job uniting Twisted Metal fans. So I give them that. And what information they have is good and detailed. So yeah.
But you have to scroll down a few times before you get to the information you want. They like to use pictures big just for words (Local News, FAQ, etc.) Not to mention the backgrounds are attrotious (i think that's how you spell it... they're bad). The main, broken glass background, isn't too bad, but some of the backgrounds used in forum posts are horrible. I shouldn't have to struggle to read text.
So what I'm doing is creating a better designed site.
Now if you are a Twisted Metal fan, you may have noticed the "TM 3 & 4" and probably got mad. For the record, I hate Twisted Metal 3 and 4. To nonfans (or people that have never heard of Twisted Metal), real fans hate those two games because of various reasons, but the main one is because it was developed by a different developer (989 studios). I added the section because people who get into Twisted Metal for the first time because of Head-On or newer Twisted Metals, might be curios about previoys Twisted Metals. They should be able to get information on them, and come up to a conclusion that, yes those two games sucked, and now I know why. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I type way too much. Back to the site. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with the site. I've jotted down some ideas. Few details need to be kinked out. I wonder what I want to do with the sidebars containing Latest News and Poll. Me thinks that I will put the news and poll sidebar only on the homepage. I have more space then (less scrolling) for the rest of the site. Makes sense.
Like I said, I don't know fully what I'm going to do, which makes it hard to create a layout because if I decided to add another page to the navigation, I have to add that link to all the pages. I missed one that I added on the about page for the twisted Metal site. So yeah. It's possible that I might mess up somewhere. Alright just wanted to let you get a sneak peek.
Laterz.
