Ok folks, the new site almost done and ready to be uploaded - the aim is to get a lot done over this week and upload most of the new layout this coming weekend.
It's taken ages and it's been a one man effort but it's ultimately a labour of love so i can't complain.
In short, this is what i'm looking at incorporating for the new season:
1. First and foremost, the content will all be original - I spent ages writing articles and features when i first started the site, but tiredness and tardiness crept in over the years so i started replicating stuff from various sites. From now on, the aim is to get as many people on board as possible to write original news stories, match reports and everything in between.
2. The Squad stats and player profiles will be in more depth and detail for the coming season
3. More player profiles featuring goal recaps, downloads, wallpapers etc.
4. The homepage will be less cluttered and more organised - That news scroller is going in the bin and a new one might be introduced. I want to try and have a new ticker instead with more up to date news as it breaks - thoughts ?
5. I want to get rid of this Echo system in favour of something like disqus which seems quite good - Again, thoughts and feedback wanted - Tpick , whatcha think ?
6. A new forum similar to something like Vbulletin - I want to try take all the comments from the homepage and put it into somewhere we can discuss things live and without the restrictions of using Echo or a commenting system
7. Most importantly, i want YOU - I want articles, stories, features - whatever you want to write about, i'll publish it - WHATEVER !
Honestly now folks, I want an outpouring of ideas and thoughts - Whatever you want, tell me and i'll do my best to add it in. |
