Hi Everyone,
I am the Administrator the Classic Castle Sets and Building Instructions
sections.
In Sets, we will keep you up to date with currently available LEGO sets as well
as custom castle creations. We will also have castle libraries of discontinued
and out of production sets. Discuss sets in the weekly castle set review.
Building Instructions section links to BIP Castle and articles on creating
instructions. Submit a link or article to me and I will post it on the
instruction page.
Have questions or comments about these sections? Drop me a line at bene at
classic-castle.com
We need your involvement and input for these sections! I hope you enjoy them as
much as I do. More updates to the sets section will be made this week.
Ben

I just wanted to indroduce myself formally as well. Anthony Sava,
Classic-Castle's Webmaster. But wait, there's more!
I'm sure most of you are aware of at least a few of my MOCs, but we'll get to
know each other even more if you want to upload a MOC or Story to the site!
That's my gig. So feel free to send 'em on over!
I'm also temporary Admin of the How-To section, so feel free to send your stuff
on over to there, too!
Have fun!
--Anthony

Guys you did a great job on the site, I'm very impressed. The layout, design
and content is outstanding and comprehensive of everything castle. Even though
I'm not really a castle-head, I'm sure I'll check back often. Best of luck with
everything, you guys are off to a great start.
-Keith

Wow guys. Very cool! :-)
Not a castle-head either, but I signed up for a forum account and I think I'll
be checking it out on a regular basis.
A couple tips on site navigation: When you're on a sub-page "city," etc, it
would be good to display links to all of the major sections of the site, not
just the 'back' link. Also, text navigation at the top and bottom of the page
would be very nice as well.

Just introducing myself.
I am helping out Leonard Hoffman as the assistant (or co-admin) administrator of
the Castle City Display Standard.
Anything important that is noteworthy from the Classic-Castle.Com, I will post
it to the side-bar of Lugnet.Castle, as I am co-moderator of Lugnet.Castle.
Thanks, Ben.

Hi Tim,
I am glad that you like the site. When designing the left sidebar, we wanted
space to be used for sub-sub categories:
City - 1)Medieval Marketplace 2) CCC Creations 3) CCC Displays
You can click the titlebar to return to the main page. Text navigation would be
helpful. Your ideas are good and I will bring them up to all of the admins and
we will discuss it. Thanks for your feedback!
Ben E.

Hi Lenny et All,
Great work, this is what the castle community has been hoping for. I stayed out
of the whole Castle World argument, but I am glad to see something very positive
came out of it. I look forward to adding a few MOC galleries in the future.
Right now my brickshelf account is a little out of date. But I should have some
time to update soon. Thanks for all the effort guys.

Nice - a great place for all things castle-related! It looks like a lot of work
went into putting this together. I look forward to seeing it grow.

What an Outstanding job you guys have done. Makes a Castle-head proud. I have
been redoing my Castle collection to fit the Classic Castle Standard. So glad I
was able to attend Brickfest and meet you guys.

Gentlemen, very well put together. Looks like I'll be spending a good amout of
time pouring over stuff here. I'm with Tim - navigation could use some
tweaking.
This is definitely a Good Think (tm).

Hey Tim,
Glad you liked it :) I'ved gone ahead and spent about five hours going through
the website adding more navigation links. I've added button navigation on the
side bar of every page (hopefully) and text navigation at the bottom of each
page.
Whew...

Just took a look - looks great! The links on the side make it a lot easier to
get to the larger categories, and I like the sub-categories contained in the tan
table.
Keep up the good work!

Wow! Excellent work gentlemen! The site looks great and has great content too.
I'll be checking back often!

Hey Anthony et al,
The site looks awesome - especially liked the HowTo and Forum sections. There's
a lot of great building ideas on LUGNET, but it tends to get lost in the noise.
I try to keep up on the castle threads, but there's sooo much to read :)
Executive summaries by the C-C.com admins (or contributors) would be a great
accet.
For whomever maintains the navigation links at the bottom, the set link is
broken:
The bold text links at the bottom that link to "Sets" is:
http://www.classic-castle.com/sets.sets.html
Change the dot to a slash...
Keep up the great work!
Stephen
