Whoa, I’d totally forgotten about these... These are a few prototypes from
the last LUGNET homepage makeover process, which was May to August of 2000.
As you can see it was somewhat iterative.
I’m throwing these out here as food for thought. For example I am really
still fond of the national flags. Do you like flags? I can’t remember why
the didn’t make the final cut.
What I find most amusing about each of these, anyway, is that they all
actually function as alternative homepages... I was shocked upon viewing
to see current actual stories listed there.
I think the last one is essentially what we chose for the homepage in August
2000. Dang, I’m really font of #3c now (except for the demode vignetting in
the photo at the right). Oh well. A bit of history unveiled. Enjoy.

| Hi Todd, (...) looking through these now twice I think the current home page quite good (better than these alternatives), so don't change too much. Good: - Good looking logo in the upper left corner - Interesting or important stuff like top stories (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

Someone suggested they be linked to the individual .loc groups - good idea. I think my favorites are #2 and #2a, for a (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

| I like the blue headers on the #3 pages: (URL) solid colors across the page on the top gives the site a solid feel. The blue shades are inviting and friendly, and the flags are awesome (they also make the site inviting and freindly) ! I also like (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) The flags look good, but what are they supposed to do? Often when a row of flags appears on a website, it is for selecting a language. But instead, no matter which flag you click on, you get lugnet.loc. I think the flags only make sense if (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
