just a reminder; if you're going to link to TWG, you should probably use an image that spells "official" correctly

[Spriggan]

that's just a test graphic SE, to see how those side boxes would look holding a graphic.

Also I got from 42 font and font color, but I'm going to probaly need some sizes and such.

I've got basicaly the main site redone on the link I gave you in my previous posts.  So I need all the info on how you want the blurbs/text to look.  Because I don't think any of it looks that good.

EDIT: I went ahead and switched the two around so the old main page is "index2.php" and the new one is the default.

I'm thinking the main font needs to be one size smaller.

[Spriggan]

ok, I e-mailed EUOL on his thoughts on that, but I can shift it down one size right now.  Also 42 are you at home or work?

edit: ok I set the size to an overall "small" size.  I think it looks much better.

[42]

home at the moment,where are you?

I love that red dude. Very TRON like, but also not entirely TRON. The banner is interesting too. Are there going to be little banners made for those who want to link to BS.com?

[Spriggan]

yes and no Gemm.  There will be banners for BS.com but they will not be little becasue it is a great privialge for the common person to  be able to link to BS.com because it is full of BS greatness.  The banners will be 1 gig in size and will crash all undeserving computers.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Ahh, going for a PA ad. I see. Hail BS!

[Spriggan]

42's working on some new stuff for the site.  So Once he gets those done I'll finish the front page.  I'll also forward the part of your e-mail that talks about the introduction thingy.

[Spriggan]

Can you non-IE users check out http://www.brandonsanderson.com/ and let me know if there are any unusual spaces or grpahic gliches.  Oh, I allready know about the one below the blurb box.

[JP Dogberry]

Works fine on moz, as far as I can see.

[EUOL]

lol.  I can see that the link bars at the top all lead someplace now.  You're a crack-up sometimes, Sprig.

Hey - does someone speak Latin, or did you use a Latin translator program or something to put that jibberish on the site?  I'm currently in need of Latin translation services myself.

[42]

I common technique in layout design is to go find some Latin jibberish and place it into the text areas. The idea is that words are a distraction to the actual layout.

I know from my own experience, that most people can't seem to focus on the layout if there is something they can read there instead. So when I'm trying to get feedback about the layout and design, it's really counter-productive when all I get is, "there's a typo in the second paragraph and you mispelled..." I didn't mispell anything, that's the writer/editor's job to worry about not the layout artist or the web-programer.

So to answer you question. Spriggan and I just did a search for jibberish in latin and threw it into the text field. No clue what it means. Well, I have some clue, because I can read portuguese, but nothing accurate.
