Alright ladies, we've got some serious work to do to whip this site into shape before Pirates craze hits again. I've made a small list of things that need to be done and I'm looking for help doing it. 1. We need someone who is good at promotions. that means going to other boards and posting links here where they allow it, promoting on livejournal and greatestjournal, anywhere you can think of! 2. We need to clean up and clean out dead links. 3. Archiving completed stories and the whole MJ section. She won't be coming back here anytime soon, that I know for a fact. It's time to put her grief and our own to bed and move on with it. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but that part of this board is inactive and not really doing anything for us. 4. Graphics! We've had this layout for way too long and we are in desperate need of a change. 5. Who wants to draft a letter to members? We need something nicely written that I can send out to everyone who has joined and let them know of our changes. it will also serve as a "re-invitation" to the community. 6. I was thinking about an introduction application of sorts, for the new members section. Something standard that new members can copy, paste and fill out to tell us more about themselves. This needs to be drafted as well. Anywhere you want to help, just let me know so I don't step on anyone's toes.

Hey Beautiful! I promise I haven't died!!! Its funny, I read somewhere that Keira and Jamie broke up and instantly I thought of you guys... I am sorry life really caught up on me. Anyways, I believe Amy was our Banner expert but if you'd like I could draw up something and some others can too and then we could vote on whichever one people like best or something. I really need to update the site as well. So yeah, what Diana said... help apprecited!

Miss Graphicsnerd, at your command. *smirks* Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it. Hey, Renee! It's great to have you back! *hugs* Seems that admins sprout in autumn... I think there are enough graphics needed, so that everyone who wants to can make something. First of all, we need a new board banner. And we also need a selection of other new banners and avatars(!) people on here can pick from and use. And maybe some buttons for the promotion?

Hey sweetie *hug* Good to see you too!
Well, before we start anything, I think we should have a meeting of sorts to discuss on colors because I want to keep the site the same color as the forum so it looks kind of uniform.
We can choose a theme... like autumn or we could just choose a color combination like rustic, earthtones, pastels, etc. so the same colors are used in all banners, buttons, etc.
I really suck at making buttons so I wont be doing any of those. Also, if someone can help me with moving some stuff in the photobucket account... apprently they decreased the account limit and now we are like double the limit and really have to move some stuff around if we don't want the account where all banners and stuff are saved to just disappear.
I also picked up some orlando and keira avatars from livejournal... will add later.
ciao

Yeah, there are some matters to discuss. I kinda like the autumn idea. It's quite obvious, but interesting no less. I always thought autumn the most inspiring season, and some people get really emotional this time of the year. And I love the colours! How could I be of help with the photobucket limitation problem? I have an account I could put some stuff on, but I really don't know how to get that stuff to our website then or anything. Or do you mean that we have to delete some stuff on there? I'm confused...

Serena! *tackles and glomps* Yay! Two of my four favourite people are here at least.
I like the idea of autumn colors a lot. Buttons I can do, no problem. I can also add a crapload of icons and siggy banners to choose from.
Banner contest? Game on!

Good to see you too sweetheart. Well, I was actually hoping you guys would say that because I have been thinking about the autumn concept for a while. Here are a few banners I worked on. Mind you these are just misc... banners but you get the idea. Autumn - Classics Silver - Frames Pastel - Flutters I didn't add "bloom n knightley" title to everyone yet - you know in case someone wants to use them for themselves or whatever. By moving the pictures around I meant, if someone can transfer some images from our old photobucket account "bloomnknightley" to a new account (btw, I already made one "bloomnknightley2" and transferred some of the images but I think we might need to make another one and maybe call it like bloomnknightley3? Anyways, what I meant was someone needs to take some of the screencaps and transfer them to this new account. I.e. save them from the old account to their computer and then upload them to bloomnknightley3. If you are interested I can give you the password for both accounts. You guys should have it anyways. Btw, I am going to start working on that music video I promised a century ago... lol...Any song recommendations? Anyone have that Cary Brother's song "Waiting for your letter" x0x

I LUFF the last one. I like how bright it is. Really different from what we've had all along and I think that's something we need. A total change. It's rather sexy too.
I think I can do the photobucket job. Less you want to do it, Aims?

Hello dears! I told Loreley I would help in anyway to get the boards going again!
I've created a BnK archive on LJ so I could archive all the fanfic and MJ's section there!

Post by Reens on Oct 4, 2005 18:24:37 GMT -5
Umm... we already have an archive. Try the sticky in the fan fiction section. You guys don't read my posts, do you?
As for layouts, I can definately use some help. I want the second site layout to be very simple and to flow with the board. I don't want to fiddle with the images because Amy owns image editting and whatever I do wont be at par with hers anyways.
Let me get back to you with site layout specs.

mmm but its on another proboard site is it not? I made the archive at LJ simple because of the fact that sometimes proboards get hacked and you lose everything! I've had it happen to me before and its not cool. I'll archive the stuff there but its just as a backup if you like My suggestion for the layout is to have a plain background... not too plain.. i'll have a look see for some simple patterns that might fit the autumn theme (lol it took me a while ot figure out why that was theme consdering its spring, then i got my smarts back and realised not where you all are! lol) and have the main focus on the header

Yeah, I like the idea of having them archived on LJ as well. There are a lot of people who would rather not fiddle with Proboards anyway because it's too slow or too confusing. Celede, I added you on lj, by the way. Elentaari is me.
