As the administer of this website, I have a questions regarding the general layout and design of the website.
I know we’ve changed once of late from the original layout to the current layout, however I’d like to see some changes to user accessibility, and also design as well.
Anyone regularily visiting the site, also the members as well, would kindly post a reply to this article on what you’d like to see, and if I should rework the design or find something else ?
Any other comments are welcome as well!
~ T3h Administer.
Changelog:
- Changed Permalinks, will now display as kipzsyndicate.dk/name-of-the-article, rather than kipzsyndicate.dk/php?id=xx.- Changed settings for expirations of which comment fields would be open, was formerly ’14 days’, changed to ‘never’.
(Comment fields were never supposed to expire, this flaw was recently discovered and fixed now.)

I think you should ask your users through a usertest and ask them what they’re using on the website like the calender and such. So that you get an idea of what apps and widgets that you can cut away.
You should also create a color palette so gets some more life instead of just looking boring like a man in a suit that goes to work every day without changing a bit. Make use of a signal color that leads the eyes of the user.
Create a nice atmosphere on the website, so the user knows what to expect from the design. The design is what sells a website and the product. Take a look at a great example: http://yipori.blogspot.com/ he uses his creations as backgrounds on his blog so his visitors knows what to expect from the blog already when the click in on the blog.
Also change the use of Leet and internet memes on the website to make it more professional. Tell me off if you want to keep it though.
I hope that you can use these advices :)
