Forum:Better look for the Main Page

Over the next few weeks. I'd like to update the look of the Main Page. Our current main page is looking a little out of date, and could use some reworking. I'd like to make some suggestions and get everyone's opinions so that we can make an even better main page that looks good to all our editors and vistors. Both Zorak Plorak and I have designed some ideas in our sandboxes. Please take a look at both designs and tell us what you like, don't like, and any other ideas you have for our main page. I would love to hear as much as possible from everyone who's interested. After we everyone's feedback, I will merge the ideas and update the main page.

I hope this helps and gives people the option to pick and choose what they like from each of the designs. Cheers, Tollerach (talk) 00:22, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

 * I reserved a twitter account (RSCwiki) months ago, but it's not used because I have no idea what to use it for. 19:48, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
