I would have to agree with River on this one.[/quote]
Yeah, that does make sense. We don’t want to have a feed on the website that shows content that we have no control over (Bad thread titles example). So that automatically rules out Reddit and the forum. Should we include both Twitter and Facebook, or only one? As I said earlier, I like Facebook better because it allows me to write out more content without the character limitations of Twitter. The news posted on Twitter may reach further though. Our Twitter also has almost double the amount of followers, compared with likes on our Facebook. Is there room for 2 feeds or will we need to choose one? If we need to choose, then it would probably have to be Twitter.
What about peer4commit projects? Is there a way to list the top 5 or 10?

Honestly, I would rather choose one, since we will probably want to display recent posts on the blog there as well. But we can try both solutions to see what looks better.
Also, I was thinking to add the top 5 list of the projects to the Contribute page, not necessarily to the blog page.

Ok, I wasn’t sure if you were adding that in or not, so I thought I’d throw it out there.
If we go by the user account route, I would need the server owner to give me access to the MySQL database. Because storing password hashes in open-source files that anyone can read isn’t really a smart idea.
Do you have access to peercoin.net right now? We’re most likely going to launch the video sometime tomorrow. Would you be able to switch out the old video with the new one, or do you need someone with access to do it?
The weekend passed, still no more votes, I guess I’m going with the user login based page.
EDIT: Thinking about it now, I’m not exactly sure how can I do a login based page with the current state of the server. Basically, we are currently refreshing Peercoin.net from the GitHub repository every few minutes, and for a login system to work I have to have the MySQL server information on the actual server for it to log on to the server. Now, if I upload it directly to the server, it will get deleted in minutes, when the page refreshes, and if I add it to the GitHub repo, then the whole world will know the MySQL username and password.
We either have to disable the automatic updates and deploy the website manually in the future, or at least modify it so those files don’t get overwritten. Or use the other proposed solution.
I’m sorry TheWildHorse. As you can see I’ve been slammed with work. Rather than holding everything up, I’ll post your questions here so anybody else can give feedback if they want to…
[quote=“TheWildHorse”]I’m trying to create a new “Contribute” page, while I wait for super, and I have a couple of quick questions.
What types of contributions do you want me to propose on the site
What else do you think that page should show?
Thanks.[/quote]
I can probably give real feedback when I get some time. One thing though, I’ve never seen that sponsor page before. It must be something that Super3 implemented without telling any of us. Does anybody know anything about that page and can anybody provide some feedback for TWH’s questions while I’m gone?
Edit: By the way, I loaned Chronos the 100 PPC so he can get started on the content. He might not be able to start until Wednesday or later though.
About the icons. The user type icons need to be changed, but I was thinking the new ones need to be green or gray. They’re too colorful the way they currently are and don’t fit with the rest of the home page. Also, do you like the Peer leaves next to all the features, or do you think we should have some custom icons to go there that fit with the titles they’re attached to. Obviously energy efficiency could use the leaf, but I’m not sure about all the other icons. What do you think?
The community is perfect but I still need to find the right iconset, and will do that today. And I need to put more thought into the footer and header menus. Also, I will begin work on sub-pages and guides.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but just wanted to make sure you’re aware this is a 2 year old thread you posted in. It’s all referring to a website redesign that happened a long time ago.
