The Main Hall: Changes

SEPTEMBER 29, 2003 -- A revamp later...

What's new on the page? well, a lot, as you can see, but the structure has remained somewhat the same. As you've seen, the floorplan is in full colour and is devoid of Flash (it took too long to load for some people) but its layout remains the same, except for one thing: I've added the Video Spot. This is the area I plan to use for animation. Right now, there isn't much there, but it's hopefully going to be busier in there soon.

As it says on the floor plan page, this site can be browsed in 800X600 resolution if you maximise your IE window, but I made it on 1024x768 (I usually set my screen larger). I'm sorry, I feel that an art site should be viewed in a larger resolution, simply to preserve the quality of the artwork when resizing images.

The Library is currently not holding any of my writings. My first Kanthara fanfic is shameful, honestly. I'll dig around and see if I have anything that I can post in there. The comics, however, has several old links, and Space Pirates has been added. The Rants are rants, and this should be enough of a warning. Consider it personal venting. I also added a Journal -- this is the most likely spot where I will add new artwork outside of the updates.

I'm still looking into installing a comment room. I'll be using PHPBB, but I need to figure out the database on my server first. Getting this site ready had priority, though, so I concentrated on that. I'll get to the database later. The links are also very limited -- I have quite a few more to add, but right now I just concentrated on fixing the ones that were there.

The Sketchbook, Studio and Gallery now have "Previous" and "Next" buttons on the art display pages and the descriptions are now next to the images. The thumbnails are all together on the main page of each section. Hopefully, if you have a popup disabler, you will still be able to browse my gallery, because the only thing that pops up is the window you request.

The Office has new revised prices for Commissions. I will be available to take commissions in mid-October. The Store still needs to be assembled, but there are already several items that are planned for sale, such as Frrshlt t-shirts, prints and some original art.

A lot has changed, but more needs to be done... Thank you all for your patience.
