That IS better. Very cool, that lighting up/colour changing idea!

I changed the background color on several of the buttons to experiment. If you've got an opinion pro/con, and could list which one(s) you like/hate that would be helpful. (just reference the button by its text)
Wow, Wolfhound! That is pretty awesome- may be stealing that one!!

Whelp. I'm never too old to learn things I guess. After reviewing my Google Analytics for the DFD campaign, I've (after over a year) changed the main landing page somewhat.
Hopefully it's a bit more engaging and lets you know, a) it's still active and b) gives a hint about what's going on. I seem to only hold folks on the landing page for a minute 45 seconds. Hopefully with a teaser about the most recent adventure it'll do a bit better at retention.
I think your fan base is a testament to the status of your campaign within the community!

I like the new button format, light up accent border thing is much better. Still get a nice rollover without getting that national lampoon's xmas lights feeling.
Surprisingly, as a fan of the old look, I actually like this better! Nice work.... Probably stealing it...

Ok, the number one request/IM/email I am getting is how I do my rollover buttons. So rather than keep retyping this... here you all go. Feel free to use/abuse it as you see fit.
After a pause of several months (due to the holidays plus the arrival of 2 kids... a boy for a couple of our players, and a girl for another) we're back to playing again.
Postgame for Adventure 2.3 - "That is not my name":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/dfd - hooked up to our new "preview" style homepage ( as well as our "latest updates":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/dfd/wikis/latest and the "adventure log":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/dfd/adventure-log pages as usual. )
Ok, I finally had time to do a full site art optimization. The selected art resources were 2.5 meg before, now they're 600kb ... so the site should load a lot faster.
I am slowly responding to messages as I get to them, I hope to be able to put all the CSS questions in a tutorial 6 sometime "soon" (TM)
I am so happy to have found your wonderful campaign. I thoroughly enjoyed reading yours and your players logs and stories. The site is overwhelmingly impressive, and I look forward to following the antics down in Dallas in the future.\

Heh, having some fun with CSS today. Something one of our players did, that got compelled into a complication, would certainly warrant front page news....
I am giggling like a daft eejit because, thanks to Kallak and madartiste ... my dream of higher resolution images (and larger) for my characters page is at last realized.

Just a collection of some of the songs about my city ... some of them have had more influence than they probably should on various plots.
