With the new site comes new services, and one of those services is the newsjournal blog: The Pixel Post. This part of the site will operate as a news and information hub for the community and abroad, with articles about recently released games, activities and events, and other relevant pieces. Now, on to some of the design details:

During our stay at Ptoing's Pixelation, I made a post containing some of the avatars designed to be used with the blog. Here they are again.  As new ones are created, they will be listed here!

Here's a WIP of the design for the main page:



Because this is a community service, I'm inviting everyone to offer input and ideas to help improve the overall design, though you'll have to excuse my limited talent at implementing any code based features.

By the way, we've yet to choose contributors for the site. If you're a decent writer and would like to contribute, speak up. By the way, for anybody interested in those avatars, check the Pixel section on this forum, as we'll have a place for you to post your own creations. Whether you post to the blog or not, it's a fun exercise to pixel a self portrait!

I'm moving on to code the page now. More information later!
