yeah there's no blue in there.

As I mentionned for the previous draft I like the general graphic direction; however I think a clearer background would work better. Light grey text on dark grey is slightly less 'agressive' than sheer white on black, but an even lighter background would be a step in the right direction in my opinion.

That sounds like a good idea to me.

It would be better in my opinion if the guild's name was capitalized. Looks a bit too bloggish with the name lowercase.

I'll second that, maybe a capitalization of the G & W? Or have the name centered horizontally?

Also, I seem to be in the minority on this but I think that we should have some sort of reference to the D'ni Art/culture. Maybe a bit of D'ni writing, or some sort of Book.. Something that specifically references Uru and/or the D'ni culture at large, so that when you come on the site you know right away what this is all about.

Although we have been careful to make sure we don't get compared to the old Guild of Writers, I think Aloy's has a good point. We are here to create ages for Uru, and honoring the D'ni a little bit wouldn't be a bad thing.

Any new updates on the IC Site?

The texts I posted (on page 7 here) are still good for me. Hoikas has already implemented part of them, so unless anyone has some comments on those not integrated yet we can start pluging them in too.
Other contents still to be written are: Some more content for the home page (couple news items) and the Ages list page.
Obviously along that we have the visuals to complete.
Another minute thing we haven't discuted much is the possibility of a Blog page; and if we make one should it provide links to existing blogs or could we provide a blog hosting service (not sure whether it's technically easy to do for us, and we might be a bit short on demand for that).

No updates yet sorry, been sick for the last week or so, so haven't worked on it.

Got some new things to add to it per suggestions made will hopefully have something in the next few days.

GuildOfWriters.org has been secured.

awesome
