Website PDF or HTML

[Jaxxson]

when you are reading a the EP's at are Site do you read the PDF formatt or the HTML formattt pls vote

[Drew]

I don't know if my opinion counts since I see the ep before its posted, but I would read the PDF.

But I have to ask what the purpose of this poll is. Is it deciding whether or not to stop putting the html version up on the site?

[Everlong]

Well if it helps you guys get the episodes up quicker then do it.

[Joss]

Most of the times I look at them in the PDF format.

And sorry Everlong, we are aware at the rate at which we post episodes. We are trying to pick it up.

Yeah I'm a whiny bugger, ain't I?

[Joss]

Yes you are.

Well, PDFs are prettier, but HTML pages load faster, especially for those of us nits on dialup.

Have you tried a program like Sophocles? www.sophocles.net

Once you've written your script, it allows you to create both html pages and pdfs in seconds. Only full versions let you do this though, ie bought versions or... uhm... not bought, but I will say no more. This was the best buy I've made for my writing attempts so far.

I was lookingat a few programmes but i don't have the money right now to buy one

I'm sorry but I will have to make issue of this.

We shouldn't be debating if the episodes should air in PDF or HTML the website itself is becoming a problem.

The website other than the drop down line, is stagnant its got a great quote a nice image but that's it the bottom isn’t updated.

I think the website needs to be scrapped and redone. A new host would be a good start there are better hosts than Geocities with more bandwidth and no ads. Even if the domain is shitty go to www.dot.tk so you can have www.whatyouwant.tk and you can even remove the ad and it records the amount of people attending the site.

The site should have navigation something like tvtome has where you can go to a list of the episodes listed with the links. Then within that section there should be links such as a review, notes, trivia. I don't think this should be too extreme however something like a Character Profile section isn't really needed. A gallery perhaps so we know who we're picturing. Perhaps in the episode section for Special Guests.

But I think at the moment anyone who is glancing won't take this site seriously and it really is fantastic some of the writing is as great as the serious.

I'm sorry to rant about this but this site is really good and I think that this part is a real let down.

None of us ( The Mods ) have any idea about putting a website together. Jaxxson volunteered his own precious time to help us out in this regard. None of us are getting paid for this and we do work for a living. Sure it could be better but we dont have the resources or the time to make it better. We would rather spend our time on the writing, and have excellent episodes to put out, than time on the website. The old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" really does have a meaning in this sense. Instead of bitching why dont you offer some of your help as it does appear that you know what you are talking about. Im sure Jaxsonn would appreciate it.

[Knuckles]

I fully Understand the "Book by cover" complex but most people and passers by view this site by it's cover.

It's been a few years since I did any sites and did nothing of PHP but I could try I suppose.

[Jaxxson]

I see.

if someone could point me in the direction of some ez learning tools, like html for dummies or something, I'd be happy to assist in designing the site....
