Home Page...

[Starry Starry Fright]

I tried to throw together a decent homepage, but I was in a rush. What we have now is, I think, a passable homepage. Passable, but not great. I need some suggestions for a better looking homepage.

Also, do you like our mini banner with the mountains?

Give me your input.

I'm not really sure for the homepage actually. ^^;; Well what to add and stuff. But I think its fine right now.

I like the mini banner.

maybe you could try adding more color to the homepage? idk, just an idea. i like the banner  

[Starry Starry Fright]

More colour... hmmm, that could be what's missing. The page just seems a little stark to me.

I'm thinking about reformatting the subforums too... the lessons get jumbled and the main forum seems so naked... Would it be an improvement if I Gave the Japanese Lessons Their own subforum, the Kana and Kanji Lessons their own subforum, Anime discussion the third subforum and moved all other crap to the main forum???

I need advice here!  

[this little secret]

You can always put lists if you want, I like using lists and maybe a smaller font size if you want it to go somewhere.

If you want to reformat the subforums, go ahead. I agree with the putting each lesson as their own subforum since it would be more cleaner and such and you could do that for the anime discussion/drama discussion/movie-book discussion/band discussion at that. Yeah, that would work of course.

Also if someone wants to get tested you could do that of course, but that's just a suggestion.

One last thing, have you ever decided if you needed help? Because you know, since you're the only moderator here and I was just wondering of course even though there's only few members, I was just curious.

Hmmmm.... I think I'm going to rearrange the subforums to have

- Japanese Vocabulary and Grammar

- Japanese Kana and Kanji

- Japanese Pop Culture Discussion

When this forum gets bigger, I was hoping to add tests/contests and a roleplay section.

For the moment, I am managing as the sole moderator, but if this forum gets any bigger I'll have to see. At the moment, participation is fairly low... just looking for a way to fix that, and possibly recruit more members.

Some updates:

- a new subforum has been added. There are now subforums for Japanese Vocab, Japanese Characters, Roll Call and Pop Culture Discussion

- Learning Aids will now be be posted in the Pop Culture section. Do check out the Kogepan post. Very amusing.

- Tests and contests will be posted in the general forum. First one will be up after this guild hits, let's say, 15 members.

- All lessons are stickied so the damn things will stay in order.

Maybe all over the home page add pictures of various locations in Japan, and some art/ists, etc?
& I like the banner.

Yeah, I should go hunting down some better home page art. The stock picture of kanji looks kind of lame.

Haha thanks! Made it with a free internet service. XD

I've seen some other guilds make a big collab of a lot of jrockers/actors to put at the top and other places. If you organize it like, 'do you like ____' with those pictures around it, and 'do you listen to ___' with their pictures etc and the guild information under it, it could end up looking really nice.

plus we could have Japanese Hiragana game or contest? those are my suggestion if some us master it and those who are still learning.
