I'm going to assume it is:
ftp.torios.org
right?
I will begin building a website later today, when I get the first
opportunity, though I have some things I need to do. I have some
pressing real life stuff for the next few hours.
But, I will get to it as soon as I can!

Done! Please try FTP as soon as you are able. It should start you out
in a home directory with the ability to navigate to the directory that
holds the website. If you have trouble accessing what you need I will
make some changes.

All understandable. If CMS is ever needed (can't imagine why) I have

Not really interested in Wordpress or Joomla (unless others are).
I like to keep it pretty simple, as I can control the security of
the website when I write it. I cannot control Wordpress, or
Joomla. I'd like to limit JavaScript/Php/etc.. to be only in areas
that are needed, and keep the main website HTML/CSS as much as
possible to keep it easy to maintain in the future. If we rely on
a third party program for mobile scalability, or browser
compatibility, or ease of building it may or may not work well in
the future.
That said... I am not opposed to using those things if someone
really wants WP or whatever... I would like to keep the bulk of
the website as close to pure HTML5 as possible.
but I am fine doing something else if there is a specific need

We should be hearing back from Ali on that soon. If you would
rather use something like Wordpress or Joomla, etc. Rather that
doing it by hand, let me know.

Wow, yeah, we got more snow here last night, but I am quite a bit
south of you in Oklahoma, near OKC.
So you live in KCMO, that is great! I want to go back there
someday with my kids. My wife and I lived there when we first
got married. We lived in Westport.
You be careful outside... it is like 10 degrees outside here, so
it must be colder there...
Oh... to make sure I was clear, if you (& Ali) want me to take
over the website, I would not mind doing it.

You sound like you have ha it rough.
Are you in Kansas? Ali put a post that made it sound like you
were there.. just wondering, I lived in KC(MO) for a while...

I was thinking a lot about this old email from last month. You
sound like a competent web monkey. If I were to reduce my role
in the ToriOS project, do you have the ability to take over as
web designer? I must ask for some discretion on this inquiry.
Please don't bring it up with anyone else for the moment.

The website so far. Pardon the graininess of the top left
logo. I woke up early with an idea that led to a series of
major overhauls and I was burnt out by the time I got that
far. But as promised, I am putting this up today. You will
also notice the text in the navigation is slightly out of
alignment. Perfectly fixable, but I wanted to get this up
while I had the chance since I'm sure if I will be around to
mess with it anymore today.
All of the pages currently have the same content. Real
content, especially for the front page, is on the way - I
just needed a place holder. Also pardon the Latin
placeholder text.
All of the items in the navigation are placeholders. While a
few of them are a must, we need to determine what sub pages
we actually need. This will determine the actual content
that needs developed.
I have tested the site in Chrome, Firefox, and Midori at
1600x900(16:9), 1280x1024(5:4) and 1280x960(4:3)
As it stands, the navigation vertically stacks itself if the
window becomes to small.
Keep in mind:
We also have a documentation wiki at wiki.torios.org and a
forum at forums.torios.org/index.php. If we are going to be
using the forums I am not yet sure if I am going to create a
but as an external link up with the social media icons, or
directly integrate it into the website, and therefor
navigation. If we go with the forums we will need moderators.
Here you go:
http://www.torios.org/test/demo/index.html
The text in the table doesn't scale when on smaller sizes.
You should fix that in the CSS.... (though I personally don't
like tables... I usually use height/width percentages for
divs and float: left; )
Since I don't like tables, I would have done the list as CSS
buttons in an anchor. And done some a:hover{//color effect}
It also seems better to me to use responsive techniques in
the padding and font size. (i.e padding: 2% 2% 1% 1%;
font-size: large;)
Of course you need to make it work for IE also, so you may
already have a plan to do this stuff....
Unless you are using something for mobiles instead. If you
are doing it you should also include the scalable part:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=2.0, user-scalable=yes" />
And maybe the:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" sizes="144x144"
href="apple-touch-icon-144x144-precomposed.png">
and
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed"
href="apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png">
types for the mobile users.
Also, I think using SVG would be better than png for web
graphics, though again there are those browser caveats like
Opera Mini, the ever problematic IE, etc...
There is also modernizer, that you may also be planning to
implement in the future...
I am sure you are already thinking about these things, and
getting ready to implement it, so I am not trying to point
out the obvious. Just gave you my few quick thoughts... Oh
and sharethis.com has a nice social media script that also
lets you gather some info back about the traffic statistics
though you may prefer to use your own stuff :)
Sorry my e-mail is so nit-picky, I know you just made this
and the overall design looks great. I like the colors you
used, and the way you laid everything out. So just take my
blurb with a grain of salt as you obviously know what you are
doing and made it look great!
