Re: [ubuntu-marketing] DIY Website Update
This needs some style changes for sure ;-) ... which I'm tackling. As was said at the meeting on Sunday, the new style will more closely resemble that of ubuntu.com, and with it will come some needed changes in layout - including the individual entries on the Get page. ~Dan On 4/2/07, Martin Albisetti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As promised, I started loading all the content to the DIY website.

It renders fine in Firefox and Konqueror, but it seems to break terribly in IE6. Perfect, no? Thanks again for working on the browser compliance! I'm afraid I'm with Jenda on the IE6 issue - why bother if this site is primarily for Ubuntu users? Spreadubuntu.com, on the other hand, will probably warrant such time spent as we'll be appealing to the un-converted as well as Ubuntu believers. I'd love not to have to get it working in IE, so you won't get many arguments from me. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
Re: [ubuntu-marketing] diy website update
I love it! I still have my qualm about the brown boxes on the right splitting the headers into two, however; but I think it's great progress anyway. :-) boxes will be changed back to include un-severed headers. Thanks for the feedback!

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] diy website update
Swag is good; the icons colour scheme are great - obviously related to the main Ubuntu sites, but a bit friendlier and less formal. I used Tango SVG to make the icons - anybody able to quickly tell me about if/how an attribution should be included? One minor typographical nitpick - in the a collaborative effort tagline, use an emdash (mdash; in HTML) instead of two en-dashes before the phrase. done :-) Also, even on a 1280x024 maximized browser window, the fourth box (get out there!) is mostly off the bottom of the screen - only the top half of the orange icon is visible, none of the text. Could the icons shrink just a bit to move at least some of that text up onto the screen? (I know, this is nitpicky too, and getting everything above the 'fold' might not be possible...) Martin also brought this up - I totally agree. I'll be changing the layout to more of a four quadrants of diy marketing ...(although Jenda claims there are only _three_ ;-) ) Looks great - when is it going live? We're shooting for January 15th, what with all the holiday business happening soon. How does this sound? Too far off? Too ambitious? == call for submissions? == We really need more *good* artwork/materials collected for the launch. Jenda mentioned that the Forum might be a good place to have a dedicated space for discussion, submissions, etc. (and I am in agreement.) Even once DIY is up, we really need to have a place for this process to happen for spreadubuntu.com, so might this be a good time to call for submissions via the Forum? If so, is there any chance this could be put into the UWN? -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] diy website update
Thanks for the feedback Martin! You practically read my mind with the layout of the 4 big links. This will be included in the next revision. As far as the Safari/Konquerer rendering is concerned, I'm fairly certain I know what's causing that - the positioning right now is really just a hacked together replacement of the old design, which was table-based. I'll get to work on fixing that, too. Thanks again, and keep the criticism coming! Cheers, Dan On 12/8/06, Martin Albisetti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First of all, a quick hello to all. I've been reading this list for a while but not actually participating. I really like the clean design you've cooked up. The only critisism I have is that I think those 4 main links should be visible at a first glance. Off the top of my head, I might suggest 4 squares, two by two and maybe making the title a bit smaller to fit. Generally ppl don't tend to scroll down until they haven't found what they where looking for. And also a small detail, it doesn't render correctly in konqueror/safari, the Ubuntu and the Ubuntu logo are trademarks of Canonical Inc. :: This website is in no way affiliated with Canonical. gets placed over the get out there option. Keep up the good work.
