Do you have any features or additions to the current website that you would like to see?
-
I like your idea for link page, whether or not it is seperated out by cities or neighborhoods (although that would add that much more to it.) I think the site is pretty good for now though, all the key things are covered.
-
Jared, can you update the thumbnail for the Hollister Building project page? I already updated the rendering on the page itself.
-
The homepage for develop, a wordpress blog, isn't really updated often due to the question of where to post development updates. So, my question to the public is, how should the homepage for the site be used?
Some ideas are:- Upcoming Events
- Columns written by people in the threads
- Development updates
- New project announcements
- Innovative planning ideas
On a side note: I have also taken off an unnecessary warning when trying to apply for membership to the forum, there is no membership approval required, so please join and then comment on this thread.
Let me know what you think about it by responding to this thread. -
I think the content of the homepage has been good so far, although it could be updated with the same type of news, just more often. Also, if someone posts a photo tour or set of construction updates that would be a good thing to post also. As an added item, maybe in it's own little box or something, have whatever could be considered the "hot topic," not neccesarily the most recently commented on thread, but the newest/most important one. For instance if a major announcement is made, the thread regarding that could be the "hot topic."
-
Hood, I've made the changes that you requested. What do you think of them?
The blog has been moved to another section of the website, allowing me a little more freedom to use it more as a blog and not as the first content that visitors may receive on their first visit. -
I like it, it really improves the "front door" look of the site. I also puts a lot more information right there on the homepage. Anyone else have an opinion on it?

The Hot Topic of the Week blurb on the home page is pushed over too far to the right and gets cut off. It kind of looks like it's an error. -

I think it depends on your screen resolution. I run both 1280x1024, and 1600x1200, and I don't have any problem with it. Lower resolutions might though, I don't know. -
I fixed the Hot Topic of the Week so it's not too far to the right. Can you see if it works for you LMich?

Jared, would it be possible for you to add the blog tab to the discussion page? To get to the blog I have to go to the main page to get to the blog link. Not a big deal, just FYI. -
fixed.

I like the new look, but I also like some of the info on the bottom of the blog page, with the newsfeeds, popular tags, and flickr images (which are currently being lost by the number of blog posts on that page). I don't know if it is feasible to incorporate those elements on the homepage without rendering it unusable, but including some might give the homepage an even heavier info-portal feel, which I assume the site is leaning toward.
By the way, I am a long-time lurker and now registered user. I grew up there in what some jokingly refer to as L.A. and entertain visions of heading back there someday soon (I currently reside in Chicago). It is fantastic to see that there are a few good souls concerned with design, planning, and sustainability in that neck of the woods.
Cheers,

Yep, you guessed it. I'm planning on moving that content to the home page, maybe tonight if I get time. I'm going to try to make it so the home page doesn't feel too heavy.
By the way, welcome to the site reversiblehatt. Lol, you're not the only one who's heard people refer to it as L.A. (Lansing Area for everyone else). -
I've made the change now. Let me know what you think or if you notice any problems.

Jared, can you correct the error that occurs when you try to insert a link? What happens is that if you've typed anything prior to creating a link the link not only posts the url on the site, but then everything before that you wrote, again. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure you must know about this. It's more of an inconvenience than an error, but I'm still not sure why it does that. -
I know exactly what your talking about Lmich. I guess I just got used to it, so I didn't bother to say anything.
-
Hmmm... I'm not sure exactly how to reproduce what you're talking about. If you're using the editor view, and you just simply type in a web address, it will convert it to a link. You could try that.
