handcoded Eternity Incurakai Website
I decided to make a new site from scratch, so I chose to rebuild the main site completely. There isn't any more www. so it can just be http://eternityinc-official.com. After so very long, I finally figured out how to control the thumbnail that appears when adding the page as a bookmark to the homescreen of an apple ipod touch, iphone, or ipad. If you don't know what I mean, try adding the website as a bookmark to the homescreen, and look at the icon. I also improved the favicon.
I recently learned about the CSS3 opacity property, and took advantage of that with the logo in the upper left hand corner. Try hovering over it, and it will switch over to it's full opacity. And it's done with only one image.
It's been quite the learning experience for me so far, as my knowledge of HTML5 increases everyday as I continue to read my uncle's going away temporarily gift (A BOOK!!) so yeah. Bookmark it to see the progress that I make on it all the time.
oh yeah, and if you are like [name removed by request] and like to have valid markup, this site has completely valid markup. (so far)

Re: handcoded Eternity Incurakai Website
Now I'm working on importing tasks, nothing big for anyone not on the team, but if you wonder why there is a link that says tasks in the top bar, that's why. I haven't gotten the sub-domain set up yet, just the directory. And a lot of it is glitchy.

Awesome start! I hope to be a big part of the development of the new site, as I'm the lead developer currently.

you were the lead developer of the forums, but now you're a web designer of the site as a whole. Just don't change the navigation, K?

Re: handcoded Eternity Incurakai Website
Looks pretty cool so far. The only recommendations I would have would be making some whitespace on the left and right of the body and perhaps using CSS3 transitions to make the logo light-up smoother.

I do have a container, but I'll work to make that a little more noticeable. I'm still learning CSS3, so when I get to that, I'll definitely look into this! Thanks so much for your feedback!

Oh, I know you have a container, I was just recommending that you make it more like Scratch or similar websites that have the container less wide & centered and fill the remaining area just with whitespace.

well, it is centered. I might look into this, but to optimize for different displays, I made like this. Still, I might look into this.

Well, you could use something like PHP to get the browser user agent and then display it differently depending on device, but I guess that's cool anyway.
