Grabeorama.com; redesigned and re-content...ed

I have recently redesigned my website (grabeorama.com).

I have also remade the reviews page, so you can now sort the reviews by different headings.
I am no longer going to use my old blog, grabeorama.blogger.com, because I have coded my own in PHP. I still plan on adding an archive, comments, categories and a few more features.
There are no games up yet (I might put Worm3 up), and the resources page hasn't been transferred yet.

There is still quite a lot of work to be done to the site, but you can still have a mosey around :D

To Do List
  • Create categories for the blog
  • Create an archive for the blog
  • Re-do the reviews page to make it easier to navigate.
  • Upload the resources page
  • Add more resources to the resources page
  • Add an examples/tutorials page
  • Create a game to go on the website!
  • Announce the website on the GMC and hopefully attract more members to the forum!

All suggestions and bug-reports are welcome!

Could you put a link to the forum?
I only have a link to the website, so everytime I want to go on the forum, I have to go onto Google :$

Thanks for the feedback, I will put a link to the forum a.s.a.p.

Waldo and I are the only two that add reviews, but no if I like ones in the reviews forum, I might add them too.

What do ye think of the new layout/theme?

PS: Waldo? Could you persuade him to join te forum?

Also, you need to look into the links at the top of this page. I keep getting "HTTP 404" errors.
You can't trust anything you read on the Internet, especially not this signature.

Yeah, they are all relative to the old site (I renamed the directories and pages so that's why you get the 404). I'll try get around to that tomorrow.
Thanks for reminding me!

EDIT: Just fixed the links at the top of each forum page. It doesn't return a 404 error now :)

Okay, the games page is up along with a login system.

The plan is that registered users will be able to have a small page each with a description (currently works!) and they will be able add games to the website (not hosted but put a link to) where others can play and rate.

I'm almost finished, and will need testers soon. Let me know if you're interested and what you think of the site so far!

I personally think that the website layout is a bit 'cheesy' ... thats the wrong descriptive word to use...
You have a vertical menu and a horizontal menu saying the exact same things... I think that the vertical menu should be sort of a sub menu... like on the games page it would have a list of contributing members... etc.

The layout I think is too structured and you need an interesting title... (you could always you what I did... or I could edit it so that it is a transparent image (transparent background) and the title would look similar to that picture I posted back in the off-topic...

And I think Games & Forum should be before Reviews in the menu... I think the forum is more important than the Reviews

I've always put forum last because it's not actually part of the website. Thanks for the feedback, does anyone else think it needs to be changed?
I probably won't work on the design for a few days, I have to finish the user pages and games first :$

sorry, my second paragraph was kind of crumby... what I was talking about was that promotional logo that I posted, and that it could be edited to be shorter (smaller width) so it is suitable for your website

... you could imagine it being squished down and maybe I could straighten the text, so it doesn't look unbalanced

It's a nice logo, but I don't think it would suit the rest of the content of the website.

btw, I have uploaded a few more pages to the website that I would like you to test (if you don't mind :D )

okay... but imagine it without any background and blue instead of orangey-cream?
the title is just one of the things that I hate about it, its not appealing at all

anyway, how do you get the pages up on the internet? I've never had an understanding of it, I just have made them with Dreamweaver mixed with Flash (at school)
