Exilian Website

In case you haven't noticed, a basic navigation bar has appeared on the website. Positioning etc is not sorted yet, as I put it in at 2 in the morning. I am also trying to solve the glitch with the M&B page, and am in the process looking for advice to improve the layout and design of the website. Go ahead.

Fixed the M&B page, and changed the link colours so they stand out better.

Looking good - any chance of an ETW section?

I've also been a nitpicking git and changed all Jubal's semicolons to colons. :P

Yeah, I'll make a page, if someone else will write the content.

A technicality, but should I make the navbar link to the forum open a new tab/window by default so people can still view the site? A lot of sites do this.

I like the style but the site could use a nicer design, everything seems really basic ATM such as instead of having a solid 1 color bar, maybe make a jpg with a design on it and just make the site more aestheticaly pleasing :). Also, i had a problem switching tabs between the forum and the site, it slows fire fox down alot, the lag between switching tabs was unbelieveable...

Odd, I've noticed no slowdown. There's nothing incorporated in the site that would slow it down.

Ironic, I've always found it faster. :P

About making the site more aesthetically pleasing, I'll see what I can do. My main problem is creating images that don't look like rubbish.

renamed all the pages to make them more search engine friendly.

Made some subtle changes to the nav bar. Now it's up to you guys to suggest how to improve the rest of the site. I'm thinking of a new banner, that incorporates M&B work in it.

We now have our own domain! Check out http://exilian.net/index.php. It's the same as the old site, but now we have the freedom to expand a lot more, and looks more professional. ;)
