SMW Central - new design
This is a from-scratch redesign of SMW Central, in an attempt to make it just a tad more future-proof. For now it's only sample pages showing the structure and the looks, that is, HTML and CSS — the JavaScript and PHP parts will be taken care of later.
Many of the links on these pages are clickable and lead somewhere, but for the sake of a complete overwiew, here's a list of all the sample pages available:
- 404.html
- affiliates.html
- birthdays.html
- blog.html
- calendar.html
- faq.html
- filebin.html

- revamped the post box in thread.html - saved a substantial amount of markup by using divs instead of tables

- introduced /smallertext to experiment with font sizes. It's a copy of the entire project in its current state, except it won't be updated, and some of the text is smaller.
To anyone reading this: I'd really appreciate your feedback! Which version looks better to you, the current one or /smallertext? PM me or whatever.
