This afternoon Steve handed me a bundled of HTML goodness for the website, I've just finished hacking together something (temporary) to give you a feel for what it looks like, currently this is all done "on the fly", so if anything is updated on the alug site, it should automagically happen to this 'rethemed' version.
Thanks for making the first retheme competition entry! What I like about that one: - uses the browser's default colours for the main body text - detached stylesheet file - clever tech to make the preview Could your system demo other proposed designs too? Things I think need fixing: - not valid xhtml, and px measurements in the css - nothing identifiably east anglian about it - in the left menu, the whole box should activate the link rather than just the text, using the biggest target possible Questions: - do any of the CSS validator warnings cause anyone problems? - should donors be credited on one page or all pages? -- MJ Ray (slef), Lynn, England, retposxto cxe http://mjr.towers.org.uk/

Well, of course.
- detached stylesheet file
That's the only way to do CSS dammit! ;)
- clever tech to make the preview
It's not that clever, it's just an evil chunk of python, and the template split in to 3 sections (in this case)
Could your system demo other proposed designs too?
Fairly simply, yes. It'd need a bit more work, like actually making the template a template rather than the botch that it is at this precise morning in time, but basically, yes.
Things I think need fixing: - not valid xhtml, and px measurements in the css
Yeah - will be fixing that later tonight
- nothing identifiably east anglian about it
The map is supposed to be on there, just haven't bolted it back in yet, will try to do that tonight
- in the left menu, the whole box should activate the link rather than just the text, using the biggest target possible
Fair play.
Questions: - do any of the CSS validator warnings cause anyone problems?
I've not tested it in IE (not having a copy of IE to hand) so there's a possibility it's completly broken there...
- should donors be credited on one page or all pages?
Depends on how big the doners are, I guess. In the case of blackcat and php4hosting, they should probably be aknowledged on every page, not sure about the others. Currently in the retheme they're not there at all, I'll try to attack that tonight as well. Cheers, -- Brett Parker web: http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/ email: iDunno@sommitrealweird.co.uk

Well, it appears that I've fixed the xhtml issue, the css issue I might get a chance to work on later, but I don't know yet ;) Warning to people that visit it: if it gives back a 500 Internal Server Error it's probably just me editing the code and getting it a tiny bit wrong, nothing to panic about, it'll usually only last for 5 minutes, then it'll all work nicely again.

IMO (with my Black Cat hat on if you want) I think that a single page for donors, linked from the front page, is fine. I don't really see the point in having to list any of them on all the pages.
