Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted January 13, 2010 Looks good so well done! Glad the Exeter fans posted their web-link to this message board to inspire our own in a similar vein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Morriss 69 Posted January 13, 2010 idea being kinda like Canary Call on Radio Snorefolk, only without Neil Adams retorts or the usual NCFC geniuses we hear week in week out!All audio clips can be replied to with the message board underneath the audio player, or of course just upload a new clip to me.

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 13, 2010 He''s obviously excited , cut him some slack.After seeing how "profesional" and well done the Exeter one is Im all in favour of a Norwich based one. Just be prepared to know that running a site like that is however a thankless task, so give the bloke some support ! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gut 0 Posted January 13, 2010 Barclayman, very impressed how quick you''ve got this started and looks good so far.I''m sure you''re gonna get plenty of suggestions, praise and probably some criticism along with a bit of mickey taking.I hope it all develops well, if it ends up as good as kellows bootlaces you will have a well supported site.I would advise you to take a balanced approach to all comments, both positive and negative.I would definitely ask the kellow bootlaces crew for advice, which I would guess you already have.Have you considered asking Hucks himself for regular inputs, interviews, comments or opinions.By the name of this site, it is itself a tribute to him while following the club. He may consider being a patron (he could even be your patron saint). Just an idea made with good intentions. He could certainly open some doors i''m sure if he so desired. Good luck with your deveopment of the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 14, 2010 oh, your also missing a picture of Iwan Roberts ;)Might be cool to have a "legends" thread where it reviews modern day legends as opposed to some of the older hero''s.To loosely quote Rodent ( yes i feel dirty ) "Time for new heros"Maybe look at modern heros for the club since say 2000 and even a where are they now ?

One criticism/idea for you to consider - regarding the Video section. At the minute, you have to click on the video and watch a bit to see what it''s about. They are all grouped together when most have nothing in common. For example, a Huckerby interview and clips from the Bayern Munich game. May I suggest a description underneath each video, maybe just a title even.

The video section was just chucked together but is sort of a timeline snippet of city from the bayern game onwards, to the glory years of Worthy, thru to some Hucks vids.

First Jedi 0 Posted January 14, 2010 "It''s easy to be critical, or just plain rude, but how about lending a hand instead?"I''ve run a several (once popular) websites for many, many years. I''ve kinda lost the will to maintain another. I''ve probably more experience in running sites than anyone on here - including the webteam! :)Anyway - I did lend a hand by suggesting that he shouldn''t use flash, and should learn how to make websites, properly using HTML (and another dynamic language)... and encouraged him by suggesting it''s not as hard as he thinks.I''d also say, get a domain (I''ve always used http://www.easily.co.uk as they give you full control - cheaper ones don''t tend to), get some webspace (http://www.punkyhosting.com is good, cheap and well supported) and create a site that isn''t flash and isn''t built with a generic site builder.Ultimately, the site will only as good as it''s content, and the Exeter boys only have good content due to having press passes to the ground. If he could secure that to Carrow Road, then he is gonna be on a winner, if not, there is little chance (but, not no chance) of it being a decent site.Also - in response to the response to person who said it''s "it''s shit"... dude, people are gonna say your site is shit, this whether your site rules or not... grow a thick skin and let it deflect... responding with "where is your site" etc., and inviting an argument, when you''ve invited criticism, doesn''t make you any friends or gain any respect. It''s hard, but ignoring it is better than rising to the bait. Who knows, a tongue in cheek "thanks for your considered opinion", might inspire something a bit more thought out...

First Jedi 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Oh yeah - as another suggestion for creating a decent site, check out "Drupal" - it''s a very flexible CMS (content management system) and would save you a lot of time on HTML and PHP coding - although learning those skills will be essential in the long run.
