X-Virus-Scanned: Maia Mailguard 1.0.1 X-Archive-Number: 200710/24 X-Sequence-Number: 12611 Home page layout still needs a few tweaks in my opinion. The shaded part that contains the Elephant picture is still too big and the information it contains doesn't really warrant that much. The first thing I see when I look at the home page is a huge hole with no useful content at all. ISTM we could get "Full Announcement" and "Release Notes" on the same line, move up the elephant by two lines, saving two lines. Put "Support Us" into a box that uses about 25% of the width of Featured User, but on the right-hand-side, so they are horizontally adjacent. Support Us gets a box around it, attracting more attention. That should then allow Latest News, Upcoming Events and Planet PostgreSQL to move up a few lines. We then should allow more history on News and Planet PostgreSQL, so they both go to the bottom of the available space. Your thoughts? -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com
