Homepage thing

Hey, I've been wanting to do this for some time and now I've got round to it.

It's a page that has logos of popular sites, when clicked takes you to the site.

Why did I make this? I didn't have a homepage (just had default Mozilla search) and I wanted to access certain sites quickly (lazy lol), so I came up with this, then thought others might like it. I'll be adding some more soon.

Use it as your homepage if you think it'll be useful for you. If you can think of anymore popular sites you use then please tell me and I might add it if it's what many people use.

Thanks!

(Please note: it might not load for you yet, as I've just updated the DNS).

Hmmm... what did I say?
hitman the lazy smod.

:P

It's ok, but boring and I'll stick to the default Mozilla page.

Well done ;)

Hush. :P

It's not meant to be fun. :( I'll code it in divs and css eventually, so it loads quicker.

Thanks Mike. :D

That looks realy good and it loads quickly aswel.

Well done :)

I think it's a great idea, maybe you should add a drop down so people can select categories like Habbo and so on. :D

Heheh, it's pretty nice, maybe have a google search bar at the bottom on it? :)

Nice idea, simple too! :)

I like it, lol

Might do that, but it's main purpose is to be simple and there so you can get to a site in one click.

Thanks, I might implement that. :D

Okay I see what you mean. :D

you should be able to select which sites you want to show, and maybe have a google search on it somewhere too.

apart from that
its good!

Looks great, well done. I'm pretty sure I've had an idea like this before but I wanted to give the user some category options, so if they wanted social network, they click the link and the image of the social network come up, maybe try that.

You should make it so:

You have your main area and you can "drag" the logos of the sites you want in to. And it stores this info as a cookie.

To expand on this rather good idea. Maybe had a box that says "Drag your logo in here to launch the site" or whatever, when they drag the specific logo into the box it launches their chosen website in another window, would be simple to code.

I'll talk to Tom when he is on MSN and make sure this happens to make it even better =)
We make a good team :P

Thanks!

It was suggested make a user system... I used to code in PHP, not done so for a while but I'm sure I'll all come flooding back to me. :P It was also suggested (like you guys are suggesting) that I use scriptaculous for the logos, so people can choose, then it saves the position in the database under their name. The actual usersystem will just be login and change logo positions. After that it might get developed more.

And yeah Kieran, will talk to you on MSN. :P

Add habboxforum on there and u have everythink i use :D

I probably will in the future, I'm not adding it right now because if other random people find the site and aren't from HxF they wont need it.

However, with this idea that has been suggested above I will add logos for many other sites and then people can customize what they see.

I really like this, it will be interesting to see what you add to it to make it even better.

Very nice, nice domain The UGE.

Thanks, I'll get to work on that soon, I have exams so it'll take longer, but I'll do it eventually. :P

That's a random domain I have, it stood for "The Underground Empire". :P

Also, perhaps have a coloumn down the right hand side or something saying 'Users like:' and then the most clicked on sites for that day/week or whatever :)

Good idea, or put it underneath the logo... it wouldn't be hard to code at all.

Nice design, might use one like that, not sure... depends how it'll evolve, with these ideas...

Nice one Tom, could come in handy I guess if I don't wanna browse through bookmarks when I could just hit my tool bar to open TheUGE then just click my mouse to go on a website.

Thanks.
