Well, I just wrote a bunch of detailed thoughts and accidently lost them all, so here it is again.
1. The navigation links (all, entertainment, etc) should be the same width as the main content of the site to give it a cleaner look.
2. The site doesn't seem to work at a width of less than 1024 pixels, although I was only resizing the window so that number might be a bit off. I didn't get a horizontal scroll bar in either Firefox 3 or Opera 9.5.
3. What is the difference between the default selection, "recently popular rivals" on the left, and "featured rivals" on the right? Why isn't the "featured rivals" section just another nav link with the rest of the rivalry links on the top bar?
4. I think the "Sports" section should be more prominently displayed towards the left of the nav links as sports is a decidedly hot topic for rivalries. On that note, you might want to add subsections for various sports such as College Football, Soccer, Baseball, etc. I'm not sure if tags are the right answer, but I'm sure you'll think of something if you go that route. If you end up doing that, you might want to consider looking at the incoming IP address's country of origin in order to have it say "soccer" for America and "football" for the rest of the world, and "football" for America and "American football" for everyone else, although I'm definitely offtopic now.
- abhishekdesai 18y agogreat points :) i am definitely going to work on these points. sorry to hear that you had to write them again. just out of curiosity want to ask whether you liked the overall idea ??
- whatusername 18y agoDon't forget about real football.. :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Football_League http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Football_League and there's even a "rivalry round" and another wikipedia page to make your job easier.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL_team_rivalries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL_team_rivalries All that aside - interesting site.. One brief comment is that the "JOIN RIVALRY" link (in the featurd rivalries on the front page) is in the wrong spot.. I was looking for one to join the left hand side of the box.. perhaps either a link on both sides/teams or just move the link to the centre (or center if you have to use CSS)
- abhishekdesai 18y agoCool, will check this out. JOIN RIVALRY point is noted. Thanks for your time for reviewing this. Please feel free to criticize anything we are doing wrong. We have lot to learn.
- kingnothing 18y agoIt seems like a cool idea for a lot of people out there, although it's not for me as I don't get quite that involved with rivalries. I noticed the instant chat at the bottom of any given rivalry, but is there a more asynchronous form of communication between the two sides of a given rivalry?
- abhishekdesai 18y agoFor that we do have "Passion Talk" where people can express their thoughts and let other people comment on that. Do you think we should make it more prominent ?
