Jimmy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 http://www.superscratchsunday.com/ incase anyone is interested, just sharpened up the appearance and got the new logo in there with added tumblr photos. DV gets a mention in the new 'about' section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00ban Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Looks good geez. You sure your twitter feed belongs there though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Looks good geez. You sure your twitter feed belongs there though? I thought it gives people the option incase they dont use FB or whatever. I dont really want to have to set up a specific SSS account. Im happy to link your account too if you'd like.

I dont really want to have to set up a specific SSS account. Im happy to link your account too if you'd like. The option for what? To hear you not talk about SSS? I don't think it belongs there. Fair enough you wanna link your account somewhere but it should be in the "about bit" when you talk about yourself or somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think it looks really good, but I agree with d00b about your Twitter account. There's a single white dot on your black background, close to the bottom-right corner. I thought it was a spec of dust or dead pixel on my monitor, but it's on the background image itself. The white framed content looks great on the black background. With a big monitor, it does suffer from the "it's all pushed to the left!" curse though: - But then so does YouTube and a bunch of other sites. Oh yeah, cheers for linking to DV. I would make your email address clickable in that section too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x2k Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Site looks great but that background is 3.2mb so it loads fairly slowly on Welsh broadband. If you open it up on photoshop and save it for web and mess about with the optimisation settings you should be able to get it down loads. Alternatively make it into a tile.

Steve Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I made you a background that is pure black (the one you're using isn't if you zoom in on it), the same size, but is only 78 KB: - http://www.sigmamixes.com/misc/tumblr_static_black.jpg It has the same name, so you can just do a straight swap. That should speed up loading times a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekked Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 +1 to the background loading slow +1 to the site looking a lot better than it did before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Steve - Thanks a whole lot for that! its been replaced now so that'll solve the associated problems! the og background was actually a photo i took by mistake of the inside of my lens cap, hence the size etc. #noobi only look at the web thru small windows so not noticed the massive right hand gap lol. but if its good enough for youtube... Cheers for all the compliments/comments tho guys. Very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think it looks really good, but I agree with d00b about your Twitter account. Don't pretend you didn't read this Jimmy! been thinking it over since you first mentioned it, not quite made my mind up. on one hand i totally agree that its not quite right, but also without it, it'd mean 3/5 links would be facebook related.I was also gonna make a conscience decision to talk about SSS more and generally less general social media shiz, and my other idea was to have a dedicated SSS account with a few of us linked to it to populate the posts, but not sure if you'd be up for that. I do think tho twitter reaches some people FB doesnt, its also less intrusive if you just want to glace at it, rather than having to sign up just to have a look, so yeh...

d00ban Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm all for twitter Jimmy, just not that link in that place mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 yeh, makes sense, just had an idea actually...I'll have a twitter link on the site, that links to the hastag seatch #SuperScratchSunday that way whatever posts are tagged with that will end up on the results paged regardless of author. result.
