*sigh* More complaints about the website.

[icarus]

I get a lot of complaints about my website. Just got another email.

People don't like the little box in the middle of the page. They find it difficult to navigate. WG thinks it's too dark and not "me" at all.

I didn't design it. I don't know how to change it -- it was a gift.

Can someone teach me or point me to a site that can teach me eFiction? I want to learn how so I can do it myself, and change it myself, not be dependent on other people.

Thank you in advance. And people who read my site also thank you. :)

My site runs on efiction http://www.fanfiction.spak.org - I designed it myself. It's not amazing or anything, but I've run it through usability tests and generally get good feedback on it. To edit the design, you simply need to edit the skin (best idea is to first add a second skin, using the first a s template, and only delete the first once you're sure the new one works). The files are in the skins folder of your dir. I'm not good at explaining stuff, but if you have a specific question, plrease feel free to ask me!

Good choice. Your current site *is* a bit inconvenient. I checked out the Percy one, and that's much easier to access. Sorry I don't know anything about eFiction...I'll wish you lots of luck, if that helps any...

Did you check out the forum at the eFiction site (http://www.efiction.wallflowergirl.com/forums/)?

And there is also ff_archivists.

I'm in the process of trying to move MalfoyManor over to eFiction so I feel your pain. :-)

Hee- the little box is hard to read, but I'd have never emailed about it. An eFiction site with a pretty standard template would be easier to read. eFiction's pretty easy to install, but I've never dinked around with the skins, so unfortunately I can't add anything actually useful.

But I can add encouragement- So, yea! Easier to read. Go you!

The navigation box doesn't bother me, I've seen worse stuff on a website; what does get to me, though, is skinny blue cursive lettering on a black background. Oooog. Hard on these 59-year-old eyes.
