Re: Anybody know anything about web sites and URLs?

by **offroad_medic** Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:10 pm

I used utaht4r.com and the only ad was a register.com banner saying you could check for website names with them. It wasn't too big of a deal.

by **Kevin** Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:15 pm

Oh. Well, cool, maybe I'm freaking out over nothing then.

by Ty Fri Nov 08, 2013 8:03 pm

I went to utaht4r.com. Not the other. On my phone the ad is very small. A little larger on my ipad. I haven't looked on the pc yet.

Sorry guys, I've been slacking on the site - I'll get my butt in gear and get some pages going.

by **offroad_medic** Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:41 pm

No worries man. It seemed to be working great and it looked awesome when I was playing with it. Speaking of the new website I was thinking today I might make up some UtahT4R.com decals. If anyone has any good suggestions for fonts or design let me know. Also I get a good design I'll make some up if anybody wants one for their truck or whatever.

OK, did a little work on the home page tonight...

That looks awesome Andrew. Nice to the point description of the club too

I like it!! would it be possible to make the bar on top with the links a little bigger? Also link the bios to our build threads? Just some Ideas. You do great work Andrew!!

By the way I will quit making Naked Cowboy jokes if you the Dr. Suess comment off my bio! Laughing

Kevin is there a way to add a link to take you from the forum directly back to the home page?

X2 now that you mention it that was one thing that I found to be slightly obnoxious.

Add a link to the front page of the forum, you mean? Probably. Would it be better if Andrew set the Forum link on the web page to open in a new window?

Doesn't matter either way. You can open it in another window by right clicking so I don't know if its worth that. It was just a thought.

I put a link in the Nav bar, was that what you had in mind?

by Ty Thu Nov 14, 2013 2:22 am

Exactly!

by **Andrew** Thu Nov 14, 2013 12:35 pm

Site updated again. I think we're getting closer.

Here's what I have left to do:

1. Add another "trio" pic to the bottom of the homepage (like in the publisher example).
2. Find a better background image for the "Contact us" page.
3. Any other suggestions?

by **Kevin** Thu Nov 14, 2013 12:52 pm

Maybe instead of putting more pics at the bottom, add them to fill in the top? I'm at 1200x920 and there's a lot of space showing up top.

I think the text block would look better if it wasn't as wide, too - maybe give it a couple inches of margin on each side?

It looks good, though! I like that the background doesn't scroll, that was one of the things I was trying to figure out how to make CSS do and it was hurting my head.

by **offroad_medic** Thu Nov 14, 2013 1:22 pm

Just reading all of your guys abbreviations and technical talk makes my head hurt. Haha good thing you guys understand that stuff cuz I sure don't.

by Monsteryota Thu Nov 14, 2013 2:45 pm

Checked out the site and that rocks guys.

by **Kevin** Fri Nov 15, 2013 2:03 am

all the other outdoor pursuits our members enjoy. (because they are Toyotas

Got an extraneous period after "enjoy".

So how does the contact us work? Who gets contacted? Is that what hose weird emails I got the other day were?

by **Kevin** Fri Nov 15, 2013 2:46 am

I didn't get any creepy emails. I'm feeling left out now.

by Ty Fri Nov 15, 2013 3:02 am

I got a creepy email, you stalker!

by **Kevin** Fri Nov 15, 2013 3:09 am

Ok then, now we know where it points. Very Happy

I copied and pasted that from the Publisher doc you gave me...so Ha! Wink

You're right though, I need to fix that.

Yup, I've got it pointing to your desert runners gmail address. I did test it a couple of times to make sure it was working. You're welcome!
