Graeme, I have used wordpress many times, not exactly sure what you mean about cover and substories, I might be able to help with template and also a while back you wanted it installed here

ive just been looking over what i did i before and im not a 100% happy with it.

Ive been thinking alot about doing something different than the usual Milan fan page, i get the feeling what i have done is too compact, and will have too much information on the screen. Also the top Flash bar is too much if you consider there needs to be a logo up there too. And i dont think that would look great with the forum.

If you look at http://www.acmilan-online.com/ and http://www.forzamilan.com/ the sites are pretty similar, we could do something slightly different, and something which would completely unique to Milanmania. I was talking with debs about doing some a lil more interactive a while ago. The following are some ideas.

Reza i sort of meant like on a magazine or more like a news site. Where you have the main news article, and have older news as like sticky samples with pictures. There are a couple of templates out there, its just also getting grips with changing the default php code to show what you want.

The following are a couple of webzine blog sites that are quite good. It depends if we do a news section or not, we dont have to have like calcio news like forzamilan and co. We could have pages like ingredients to making a Milan birthday cake or something. Anyway the split magazine site is good for a different type of page layout.

Sort of highlighting the first top news but others smaller? I will look into that

Reza · 29-06-2007, 10:59

If I got what you mean right
For example this has a 'featured article', we can even play around with it to make it more prominent http://www.themes.solostream.com/

Take a look at this too http://paulstamatiou.com/2005/11/23/...ured-articles/

Graeme C · 29-06-2007, 16:59

yeah man that theme was the kinda thing i was looking for! i will have a play with it in the morning, cheers again!

Graeme C · 07-07-2007, 10:33

Just a quick update

Reza i downloaded and starting playing with the theme. I have created a basic CSS frame, and started to place php code into and to get the thing working.

I have hit a wall, well that theme doesnt have many function support, like bring up most recent posts, and its being bit of a headache. Ive used some plugins, but they are not bringing up what i want.

What i will end up doing is cut the css cheat (that makes the feature post different) and also cut the php code that brings up/. Il have a play next couple of days, and hopefully have some screen shots or something.

Reza · 07-07-2007, 11:06

Thanx Graeme, there might be other themes like it with better support for plugins, I'll look again while you are working on this one.

Graeme C · 09-07-2007, 09:55

Welcome to MM!! Glad you found this out for yourself!! If we had told u, you would have thought us biased!!

inter-1908 · 13-08-2007, 17:36

its weird to see your rival fans treating you better than your own team fans...i really appreciate it thanks guys!!!

Warro Bantan · 14-08-2007, 10:22

No probs RECOBA! Karim is another Inter fan that visits us quite often, and we have a Juve fan, Tony29, who is a regular.

We pride ourselves at not being exclusionary, and rival fans are welcome, as long as they dont break forum rules.
