Oh fuck! I'm sorry, I had a powersupply fan burn out and I'm still catching up. Sorry!
Ok, you are now and editor. This give you the rights to make news posts and new pages.
When making new pages be sure to set the page parent correctly. For example, in making a BA page, set the page parent to games/mods.
Additionally, in page names try to be generic, e.g.
Games/Mods
Balanced Annihilation
instead of
Games/Mods
Balanced Annihilation v6.31
Additionally, sub pages are perfectly fine (that is to say, subpages that have the parent page of "Balanced Annihilation") but please don't create parent pages that contain basically a paragraph and then use that page as a parent for other pages.
The editor is extremely simple to use. However if you have specific questions this is a good place to look http://codex.wordpress.org/
Also, in html view, when making a post or page, you can use the header tags for subdivisions of content: <h2> <h3> <h4>
Imagine that h2 is a true subdivider, h3 is smaller text with the divider, h4 is even less than that. It can help separate out your content. For a few examples, take a look at the faq/getting started pages for specifics.
Have fun! It's really easy to add content right and left

This might be a little pessimistic, but if no one is using / looking at the site, there is not much point investing time and money into it..

Put up a basic IW page. I don't claim to have great html knowledge, so if anyone wants to tidy it up, go for it...

It's getting a fair amount of hits. News content really helps out. Last thursday and friday had about 150 hits.

Thank you Noize
Really needs a BA and CA page tho. Kinda silly for those two not to be there.
Warlord made a beautiful page for IW. Good examples in there.

Why does this link to Smoths Sekrit Forum? And nowehere to the main spring site, that i can see?
If we're going to have projects like this they should be crosslinked.

A couple of things I noticed, that I might've broken somehow:
- bullet points are lost because they are black and the background is black
- my links seem to be the same colour as the text, rather then a specific link colour. When I'm working in dreamweaver I usually set this up with a CSS, but I'm not quite sure how to set it up here...

Because new users coming here is for the most part fail, kinda fail going there too but I digress. I would hate to set up another forum specifically for it. Imo that would be silly.
For crosslinks, yar I agree, you're prolly right. When the new website is done I'll point it here, until then I dunno really what to do about it besides tread water.
Bullet points were hidden for a reason, I can put em back in tho, it's no biggie.
I dunno what you mean about the links. I checked and they are the correct color. You might want to specifically give the text underline though because they are not underlined by default.
Edit: If you want the links to show up with the css link color, you need to select the text and use the link button on the menubar and make sure to use www after the http(because it stores it in the database).
It is set up using css and div containers. THe css isn't as clean as I would like (as far as nicely seperated and whatnot), it's just newlined. I'll make it easier for other people to read.
@saktoth, made you editor status.

Bullet points in pages are back. I remembered why I had them disabled was because I couldn't get the h2 sections to line up correctly, but I fixed that very easily. Something tells me I broke something when I did this, but I can't tell that I did. Let me know if you spot anything that doesn't look quite right.
BTW for those who may be interested, here is the css
As I said, it's not particularly pretty, or even easy to read, but I know what I'm looking for so it doesn't bother me, but in most cases I would have commented blocks between sections (helps a lot if someone else happens to be reading it).

Well the forums they are directed too now, is also rather silly.

Something that was suggested to me was, make a brand new forum for springinfo. In that forum you have general discussion, and a forum for each mod/game. No subforums. Obvious links to the various websites and stuff clan-sy, smothssite, and so on.
What do you think about that?
