TGB Landing page?

Hi everyone.

What do people think about having some sort of front end to TGB?

We set up a quick page below, feedback is welcome...

(some links may not work as expected at the moment but most should be ok)

Wow, it's what I hit when going to thegreenbutton.tv. It's great!

Perhaps you should add .tv to Welcome to TGB

I suggest changing the font to match the font of the forum. I also suggest putting the recent forum activity section on a new line below TGB forum links; it looks squished where it is currently located.

Thanks for the feedback.

I need to tweak the code that pulls content in from phpBB in order to alter the layout.

It's pretty ugly right now I know, function over form :)

Plus I'm not the best man for this job really!

It is a little plain.

I'd say the header image is a little large for how simple the graphic is.

Consider putting the recent forum activity in the sidebar rather than the footer.

So I've tweaked a few things on the landing page, it's still a work in progress!

Hi Rob, am liking but there is a lot of wasted white space under Welcome to TGB.tv... etc and TGB Forum Links etc. Would be cool if the TGB User Info 'pane' could be lessened in height I think. Oh and change the antiquated font eh??? :D ;) :lol:
