Hey guys..

Site: http://www.eclipsedbydesign.net

I've had this site up for some time now, and just switched it over to phpNuke (for site wide user login/registration)..Please feel free to browse the gallery and submit to the forum..I plan on changing the graphics when I get home (i don't have PS at work

)..any body who wants to link to/from the site is more than welcome to email/PM me...

Thanks y'all!!

Do the links on the top really need to be underlined?
Maybe use a bit darker shade of grey for some areas?

All in all, it's not bad. It's rather plain, but at least it's clean. Cool.

Looks like your off to a good start. Once you get somemore content, some graphics and a few users it will start to perk up. Getting the graphics done though is important for Nuke. It is what gives the site personality, and makes it different from all the other Nuke sites. Good Luck and keep up the good work!

yes, until i get in good with CD, i'll have to use the stock themes

..I just did a couple updates, adding the last forum posts on the front page, and also a little block that displays a random image from the gallery..

I like the site. And I like the pics of Mazdas. Simple driving never looked so good on camera

And... flat roads... wooooaaa. Try to find a highway without potholes in the northeast US

Joose · 14-September-04, 05:55 PM

Wow some of those wallpapers are awesome!

With a name like 'elipsedbydesign' though I was really disappointed in the generic look of the site...it looks out-of-the-box. Looking forward to seeing the design changes you've got coming...

The site is slow because PHP.exe is a power hog on my 450 k6-2 w/ 256mb SDRAM

Which high-res pics??? The gallery has 542 images...

vladimir · 15-September-04, 09:21 PM

send me all pics exept mazda once..if u would..

NapalmStixToKidz · 28-September-04, 08:31 PM

made a couple additions: added some downloads (not many), but one is a zipped version of the wallpapers that are in my gallery (about 19MB)..Also: It'd be nice if some of y'all could do me a favor and register/post in the forums

Thanks y'all!

Why not do some shameless pimpin' and link your site to other tech sites? This will get you some more traffic there, also get your site name out. To get people into the spirit of the site, do a banner contest or something. People like to feel a part of things. Especially when it is a new site. Just some suggestions.......

good idea; thanks!

I know the site needs a new look, but it needs a faster processor first

I'm currently running a wallpaper contest..There is not a closing date, since no one currently posts on the boards

, but when i start getting submissions, I will probably put up a closing date..Hope to see you all there...

Thanks!!

You could use a new logo for your site.
