When I saw your first email Bobby I thought to myself "Winter is going to
LOOOOVE this (sarcasm) as he only just finished overhauling and updating the
entire site already hahaha". ;)
I'm pretty sure I suggested this a whole back but Winter you probably should
have made a news item about the website overhaul being released and talked a
bit about what you did so the public actually KNOW about all the hard work you
put into it in the backend since in the frontend people aren't really going to
notice as things still look the same. Which also means the site still has that
'abandoned look' due to the lack of news items and new multimedia content. I
was thinking of making up a news item about the recent big map pack addition as
that's pretty cool news! Also a news items about us regaining control over the
FreeCol moddb page might be another news item to chuck in! That news page needs
some more content!
Blakeley also said he would like to work on the website content a while ago,
maybe you could try to coordinate.

Slightly misunderstanding on this bit. My plans are to simply add new up to
date screenshots to the screenshot section and make a new videos page similar
to the screenshot one. Overhauling the whole site is not of interest to me,
plus I don't have the skills for that as I'm not a programmer like you guys
are, I just know a bit of basic html. So I'm unfortunately I'm not much help to
you Bobby, sorry mate.
I should also say that the whole recent map saga massively delayed my plans to
do that new screenshots and videos section stuff, and now I'm busy with other
stuff but I'll get to it eventually lol!

Blake

Hi!!
I have a little skill of english, sorry if i can't explain better :S
I would guess, up until now you actually just did some mockup pictures using
some tool, but did not do anything for the real website? I'd be happy to
comment on them if you could show pictures big enough to be readable.
Please use this other link, and use bottom navigation
https://www.figma.com/proto/r1RUrbFES8HCTEjmgJDpCx/Desktop-Website?node-id=18%3A91&scaling=min-zoom
Or you can use the "present" button on the right of login button on the
original link (it's like a triangle icon)

Exactly! We are working on the mockup. We haven't written any html or css yet
We never used jekyll, but apparently this will not be a problem, but we really
need to combine with bootstrap, in order to make it mobile friendly and
facilitate workBootstrap is a library of css and javascript to facilitate the
construction of web pages and their visualization in multiple browsers
Bootstrap is widely used in the web worldI see that is possible to use
bootstrap with
Jekyllhttps://medium.com/better-programming/an-introduction-to-using-jekyll-with-bootstrap-4-6f2433afeda9
==> Can we combine with jekyll?
Somewhere on the forum is a posting where I explain how to work with Jekyll and
locally compile and test the website, which I'd liked to add to the
documentation
I will take a look!
Easiest might be if you take a look at how current pages are done and then
start small and send pull requests
I will take a look too!
