    Hey Everybody!

    I've just launched the Alpha version of Christian Geek Central, which you are invited to check out at Christiangeekcentral.com, or by clicking the link to "CGC Home" at the top of these forums.

    We're still working out some things, but I'd love to get your honest feedback. This site and community are for you, not for me. So if you have an idea for how it would tickle your fancy better, don't be shy!

    I anticipate the site will go through significant changes based on feedback. In fact I'm COUNTING on it! Color scheme, logo, layout, content, it's all up for reconsideration.

    So when you get a chance, please give it a look, poke around if you like, and give me your impressions here!

    Thanks!

    Looks pretty good!  I did have to refresh like 5 times to get it to come up but that may be the firewalls at work.  Stupid security guys block everything, its like they think I should be "working" or something!  Anyway, looks like a good start to me!  The layout looks very clean and neat.  Will try to go through some more today.


    *edit:  noticed a few things you may want to look at.  In IE8, the header and the "under construction" bit get bunched together.  Also from safari on iOS 5.1.1 (I know I need to update!) you don't get the menu at the top.

    Yeah I notice that too. The logo also reminds me of the green bay packers

    Sorry, I'm having trouble quoting. (Am talking to our tech admin to look into it.)

    CreatorsPixels, can you let me know if the header problem still exists after you've updated?

    As for the logo, I didn't even suggest a color scheme to my graphics guy. Pretty funny though.

    Rickster, do you think the logo looks too close to a Packers logo or evokes sports too strongly?

    Anyone else want to weigh in on the logo?

    Paeter, its looking good from my home pc (Windows Vista)!  As for the logo, it looks good, I couldn't tell you if it looks like a sports logo to save my life!  Just poking for fun!  Wink

    Not from me as a mater of fact it took me a while to even realize that it look sort of like the packers logo. Now if I was really into sports or a cheeshead (I believe that's what they're fans are called) I might get confused.

    Looks great, but that archive etc menu on the right hand side interferes with the scroll bar - or is that just me?

    BG color is changed. I'll work on some other mods too.
