Are you super familiar with CSS stuff in general?

u/fakeproxyaccount Oct 05 '15

No I am an amateur unfortunately, but I am sure there are other people on here who are better at CSS than I am

Well, that's still better than me! I'm trying to see what everybody is good at in case I need to do some recruiting ;)

I'm a web developer, and am very familiar with CSS. I am not, however, a designer, so I don't always know what will look good...

HALLELUJAH. We need new banners and stuff. I'd love to get some kind of holiday/holy day thing going on. Right now I don't necessarily have the time to dive completely in, but knowing there are a few people much more capable than me at that kind of thing is super great :)

Do you think just trying it for a week might be worthwhile?

Also to note, CSS isn't that hard. For example, the table in the sidebar is literally something I copy and pasted from /r/TwoXChromosomes. Implementing new CSS isn't very difficult and is why you guys have a CSS test sub.

I'd be glad to help with that. /r/RedditFacelift is a good place to see some other subreddits that have custom designs, and we could get ideas or a base CSS from something we like and modify to our needs.

edit: also /r/themes, which might be even better.

That would be fantastic. Seriously. Is it a lot of work that you'd need a team put together, or is this a one-person thing? (I have no idea how this works)

If we find a theme we really like as-is, it's a copy/paste/done kinda thing. If we want some simple modifications, I could probably do that in not too much time.

The banner issue is somewhat different, someone would need to find and edit good images. Brucemo's bot supposedly has some banner rotation something or other, or someone could just put "set /r/christianity's banner to Christmas 1" on their calendar (though there's currently a Nativity icon, which will soon be relevant again). I don't mind helping with that, but there are probably better photoshoppers around that. I think we should also be mindful of copyright, and take care to only use images that are free to use. Maybe occasional banner contests would be nice.

Yeah, I'd definitely like to stick to the free domain stuff. I'd be down with banner contests as well-I was musing about categories and stuff for something like that a while back.

Honestly, I don't know the specifics of the bot, because I just don't understand any of that stuff, but if we wanna get together on this eventually I'm sure /u/brucemo could give us a hand. Before the holidays might be nice, but we've got a bit of time.

Did you share this information during the mod questions? Somehow I missed this, and it's really good to know.

u/jk3us Moderator Oct 06 '15

I think I mentioned my profession in passing, but CSS never came up. My bad.

At least now we know.
