Review of layout
Okay this is my notes on the layout:


 * 1) We start the page off with what the Main Page begins with already, the picture of One Piece, the info on the site and everything.  Part of me feels this might be better off on the Communtiy portal, or in a template (but I won't explain that for now).
 * 2) This is where things get confusing. I think this is where Joekido's coding goes haywire, this is the bit that needs sorting!  We have the start of the main table (includes the navibar).  The featured article is here with picture and sample info. Fair enough.  We *Could* get away with using the portraits in the character guides and shortening that summery.  It would make life easier for both reader and editor alike.  It would also mean less page screwing up (I note: part of the page overlaps the site ads here). However, for now I'm more intereasted in getting the layout working (with or without the picture if need be) we already have.  If I do do that, it will simply be to make life easier for now and not as a long term measure.
 * 3) Okay this is where things get really confusing and I think the main problem is overall.  Next we begin the "Did you know section".  I'm presuming the main index was meant to be next here, but somewhere the text is a bit lost.  Its a nice try Joekido, I see where your going here.  Its not your fault on that part, this is a problem reguarding the table.  There are other stuff on the bottom too.

Okay futher notes:


 * The only way to fix this is do things from scratch. That way, I can see how things are turning out as they are turning out.
 * I see there is a use of templates within the layout. Thats a good start.  I'll try to continue with that.  I'm glad Joekido did that because if worst comes to worst I can disect this page template by template.
 * I think I've spotted the main problem here, its a little too difficult to explain first hand, I'm going to have to just go with the flow on this hunch and see what happens. Its also not as easy to fix as I hoped it would be.  Its not as simple as tweaking one line of coding (its much worst T_T).  So it looks like this will take a while to sort out.
 * Your probaberly going to end up with a simple version of the layout for now. Okay, ideally its not super awsome "r0x0rs my s0xs!" type os layout.  But the more complex one can happen when I figure out the problem.
 * I'm not going to give up until I've solved the problem here. I might have to take a long old crash course in the more complex wiki tables here (I've been meaning to learn anyway) but whatever happens - I'll find and fix the problem!

And that conlcudes my notes and thoughts on this layout. If anyone else has spotted something I've missed or disagrees with me (esp. you Joekido) let me know. I don't want to get halfway through it and find someone doesn't like it. One-Winged Hawk 10:25, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Check List
Check list by One-Winged Hawk (on going until futhre notice.

Test one
How does the main site info work in the layout?


 * Result: So far no problems. I've removed a repeat line of text that wasn't needed.  This should effect nothing.  Its been given its own template page for further testing in case something comes up.

Test two
The featured article + navibar (without table within table effect).


 * Result: Okay good news... Both work fine - without the table within table effect. Okay I'll fix that later, for now, I'm happy SOMETHING is working here.  If it comes to ditching the table within table, fine, but for now - something is working with no problems.  The problem is therefore linked to that coding.
 * Solution: For now, I will continue with futher tests on the main index and other stuff. Once I've sussed every problem out, I will come back to this once I know they are fine.  If worst comes to worst, at least we know we can work without this effect!
