[Josellis]

Just a little update, I am now creating the buttons for my website. This should take 1 to 2 days.

You know i was thinking a paper\pencil scetch and diffrentthemes put if suitcases with paper coming out....Kinda windoish but still should look good.As for the the name i think the ones posted were quite good.PlaneArt sounds catchy.

kk, I just did some final touches to my website, I will know upload it to the server, and do a few things there, and it should be ready

[Narure]

cant wait.

how much longer to wate? if you need a hand with anything just ask, im a good coder when it comes to websites.

[Josellis]

how much longer to wate?

Well, after a few problems with the host, my website is FINALLY OPEN.

You can check it out here. Hope you'll enjoy :

[miadon]

so your website, is really just a forum? I think people were expecting a proper website.

[Narure]

Yeah i was expecting a deviant art style thing just for planeshift art. Or maybe somthing abit more unique. I'm in two minds whether to use it though becuase i think there is still a better chance of my art being view here. (which reminds me i should clean up my art thread)

[Josellis]

well, you can always make feedbacks on what you would like to see. But I was mainly thinking of it as a PLANESHIFT fan art website, not a PlaneShift FAN ART website, if you see what I mean...

Also, a forum is much more interactive then a simple website ...

Well I think it's a good idea, and I think we should support this.

Well of course it will, every community project starts small, it's up to us to make the website worth viewing. And there's nothing stopping you from posting both here AND on the fan art website.

I would agree however that in order to draw more attention, I think a little more than a forum is needed. I'm thinking maybe a CMS like Joomla. I'll PM you with an example Josellis.

[Josellis]

Just wondering, how do you find the style of the website?
And also, what content would you like me to put on?
and how will people "share" their artwork?

by the way, A forum can be also used as Content Manager, I'm trying to create a "Knowledge Base" on the localhost, however, it becomes fairly tricky (and would have taken way too long). But because of the lack of interest in my website I stopped the development.

Also, register, and start posting It will continue looking empty until someone posts, and it's only then that it will look much more attractive

[Eliseth]

I like the style, it echos the planeshift forums in someways, making it seem fimiliar, which is good. I don't think you can really add to it. If you're going to stick to the forum idea then perhaps you should create a showcase forum, for all completed works to be posted, and where you're not allowed to post comments.

As for sharing content, perhaps you should make use of the creative commons licences, just a thought.

[Josellis]

creative commons license??, is that something like GPL or GNU? or whatever the term is ...

[Eliseth]

Yeah it's something like GPL, just a little more dynamic... have a look http://creativecommons.org/
