What kind of changes? I don’t mean a facelift to the existing homepage, but rather a complete redesign from the ground up. Anything goes. (Except excessive JavaScript and proprietary stuff like Flash.) Consider it a blank whiteboard.

well, it’s not ALL a complete redesign, as i like the easy spotlight bar on the left-the rest is brand spankin new. This hexagonal brick design was originally going to be my webpage design, but I really don’t need my own page, so here it is for all of us. notice how it’s shaped like a central HUB - Hahahahahaha! THIS IS ONLY AN IMAGE-I’m not skilled at all in web design code. I thought Shiri Dori’s pages were very helpful when I started, so I included them. Also, on a somber note, since we’re afol’s, we ain’t gettin’ younger, & someof us are already in the big brickpile in the sky, so i thought a ‘memorial’ link would be cool. I forgot a bricklink/2nd hand shop link, so that can be added

Enjoy

(...) TRY # 2 colors, bricks, poll, expandibility (could get taller as i made it 800x600 to start-this made it a little tight, but can easily be remedied) (URL) Enjoy Jeff (21 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: New homepage for LUGNET
Try # 3 thanks for all the imput. I tried to make it less busy, & identify the major groups of stuff for newbies. the left, top, and right 'bars' are the same, as i think they work well on the current site, i just spruced em up a bit (URL) enjoy!, (...)

Someone brought this up at BrickFest PDX and others agreed it would be an excellent idea: Rather than mainly linking to internal LUGNET resources, the first thing someone should see when they visit the LUGNET homepage is iconic links to other major (...)
