What are the best free rpg game homepages?

[Rob Lang]

Nope, not at all! Your yingyangness is very cool. All I meant was that the importance of websites are forgotten by many authors.

I have to say that I'm envious of skin, clean and pretty. seems like something out of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

You mention in the Free RPG post about Google Blogger, how does it work when using your own URL?

[Rob Lang]

You have to buy your own domain and then have it point at your blogger account. about how to do it. I remember it being pretty easy and trouble free! I still pay for the domain through my favourite web host provider.

I decided to not go with blogger. I'll be going with wordpress. I've got things and if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

[Rob Lang]

Cool, Wordpress is a very strong platform. Some things I'd do to change:

1. Move the download link to the top of the right column. Even above the search box. Most people who come to your site did so through search, so 95% of them will be wanting the download link.
2. In the download list, make sure the RPG Core rules are right at the top, in bold, perhaps using the cover picture as a link.
3. I'd remove the bullet point marks by the site of the links in the list, indenting is enough. You might want to get rid of the underline too - there's no need for it.
4. Your header needs to be more impressive and should scream Sci Fi. At the moment, to new visitors the artifact picture just looks like a colured blob. You have COPIOUS quantities of superb art, pick your favourites and photoshop them together.
5. I'd put a tag line under the title: The Article - A Free Science Fiction RPG.

3 and 5 i'll have to dig into the template for, I'll tackle that later. How'd I do with the ?

[Rob Lang]

Great Onix! I'd stick some text with (or over using a graphics package) the cover image on the right with a 'Click here to download'. This follows a 'don't make me think' principle of web design.

[Rob Lang]

Good call, Viz. I'll get that fixed.
