new website name

[Duke461]

The previous one. But try making the FIRST on the first logo as big as you have the STOP on the second logo

[FIRSTtm134]

THIS big?

[Duke461]

perfect.
now get to work on the website!

[FIRSTtm134]

ok i have to check my with my team to see if i can use the server but here is the logo:

[Duke461]

Good. My only other idea, and im really having a hard time visualizing whether it would look good or not, is take the cool stripe pattern FRC "font" you had way back in this thread and use that for the STOP.

[Duke461]

Ok. you can be the judge on that one it's a toss up for me. maybe make the letters skinnier. but you dont have to post anymore
Good luck,
hope my spamming you with design requests helped,

Your spamming was much appreciated!

[Cow Bell Solo]

As much as I like most of those designs I would just like to mention that the use you have done with the FIRST logo infringes with the copyrights FIRST has on their logo.

For information on how to use their logo check out this page, and more specifically the second link on the top of the page.

fixed that problem!

it will be up as firststop.com hopefully by the end of next week
... looks like no homework will get done

What is your website going to provide that the FIRST community doesn't already have? What do you plan to do so that your site really is the "first stop" for teams, and not just another site with some links? Is this something that could easily be added to FIRSTWiki, where the whole community can contribute?

I don't want to sound like a downer. You've got a lot of energy and talent, and I'm sure whatever you create will be useful for some people. But creating a community-wide asset takes a lot of time and vision, and often the help of others. If you've already thought about these kinds of questions, then good job, and carry on!

I have thought these thoughts you thunk. I am planning on it taking time. I need a project for the spring And it is going to be more than just another site providing links. Links will be included but will not be the basis of the website. It is going to be a content rich website. There will be tutorials, videos, pictures, and in some cases, links to provide content for all fields of FRC

Including

FIRST Site quick links
cad resources (links to autodesk and firstcadlibrary.com as well)
programming tips
website tips
electrical tips
robot design tips
user posted info
etc.

I need clever name for this site..
I was thinking frcsource?
it would be frcsource.isgreat.org
the isgreat extension is for a free web server since i do not have the funding to go off of a regular server.

what do you guys think?

what requirements would you need in a webserver?
What programming language do you plan on using?
Any database requirements?
Do you have the domain name yet?
How do you plan on uploading/updating files?
Do you need email on the domain?

[FIRSTtm134]

Well I convinced my team to let me use our second domain name to create the website. It is now frcfirststop.com. I don't have much space but i think i can make do. I am presuming there will be a php, mysql, html, css, and javascript. Not sure if anything else will be used.
