New Website

[Sebastian Oliva]

Hello everyone, I uploaded the new version of the site today, It's
still at http://shoebot.net/ and almost all links should be working
properly. Please send comments, suggestions, or if you want to add
something here, or at my e-mail.

Regards,
Sebastian

Looks nice.

I didn't notice the links along the bottom for a while, maybe having them at the
top might be more discoverable ?


Maybe rolling over the pic at the top could show the author of the bot, and link
to it in a gallery. Displaying some thumbnails of other bots might be good too
as shoebots mostly about displaying graphics we should emphasize that.
Possibly the pic at the top could be a widget that rotates through screenshots
of various bots.


Bikeshedding: The links could probably be a colour other than the default, not
sure what to suggest as I'll probably come up with coder-colours, but maybe
colorlovers might help come up with a scheme that fits in with the other
colours.


Addendum:
Seeing my tweet near the top of the "buzz on the web" reminds me about the state
of the codebase; hard with everybody not having any time - having a new website
is a great start.

Regards,
Sebastian

I'll try to test how it would look with the menu on top. It also needs
a large DOWNLOAD button on the homepage, Which I'll probably work on
next week as well

Yeah, I wanted to do that but I lacked the time :P. I'll probably will
implement it in a few days. I guess I could find time to do it next
week.

I'm a fan of grey scale, I am open to suggestions though, we could try
to adopt a color scheme, without any major issue i think.

Sebastian, thank you for such a great effort, the website needed it!

I also see a couple of things that could maybe be treated differently,
but I'll give myself a bit of time so that I can get used to it, instead
of shooting out premature critiques.
