[Chaos204]

literally put it together today. I am not a programmer and did not pay a dime. I used a clever combination of many free sites. I also have not decided if I will submit it we will see how it turns out. I just wanted some input if there is any to be had. Thanks everybody!

I made the TK account to make it easier for team members to remember the site but if i decide to submit it, do you think i should use the real address insted to elimniate the add?

Wow, really nice site. It looks professional and has a lot of great content.
Is there a part of the site with your awards listed? If not, make an awards page.

I guess you could call this a public beta. The content is not 100% done yet, but the overall styling should stay pretty much the same. Comments and critiques would be appreciated.

Our team won the Best Website Award at PNW and Championships in our rookie year (2005, see <http://team1540.org/2005>). Our webmaster dude was too busy managing software the other two years managing the Software department to really update it for the next two years, so we didn't really have much to offer in the following years. This year we have a new dedicated webmaster who has time to actually work on it, and is also quite artistic. Also, we decided to use Drupal, instead of coding it manually.

Looks great. I always like the websites with that much content and organization. Congrats on your Chairman's Award btw I read the Outreach link and it looks like a lot of great work!

http://team1322.org/ We have changed our adress this year and have been adding content. We do not have an advanced web person so we don't have a fancy display. We have been using Front page because some of use don't know html. We have been trying some tricks so when some one googles us we show up.

AdamBots.com is currently the home of Team 245 of Rochester Hills, MI - otherwise known as the AdamBots. We're currently in the process of creating a new theme for both our MediaWiki and phpBB3 forum that has more of a team look.

As far as content updates go, we'll be adding a resource section with AdamBots-Live and AdamBots eMedia sections with various files for FIRST on Linux (AdamBots-Live) and website construction/modification/updating/prettiness (AdamBots eMedia). AdamBots eMedia will include our old theme for download (MediaWiki Skin) after we take it down.

The theme is gonna be released in about a week, or possibly after the Kickoff. I'll post again here when it's up.

Well, my first suggestion is to make sure that the music does not automatically play when you load the front page. Many people, including me, find it pretty annoying to open a bunch of tabs and then have to track down which page is making the noise and figure out how to shut it down.

My second suggestion is to create some separation between the links meant for visitors and the links for internal team use, such as Forms and Forums.

I have the music turned off on my computer so I don't hear it. A student that set up the entro is now graduated and has not returned our e-mails, we want to edit it and don't have his password. I was going to delete it but We have not figured out how to replace it. I set up a slide show at the same web site but was not able to make it show up on our web site. It is tough finding students that are good with web design or that want to spend time on it. Our students want to just build the robot.

The theme and set-up are nice. How about adding seperate pages for sponsors and awards..etc...

Check out some of the other sites on here. They'll help you understand what pages you might want to add.
