Tastyspleen.tv website overhaul.

Yes, the tastycast has now moved to a new domain, for even more idiot-proof sharing of the site and it's glorious content. Ahem.

If you'll look at the site at the moment, you'll see it's not that glorious at all. This is a problem. First off, a lot of the mess is due to me throwing in a new css page, one that focuses a bit more on visual media. Now, basically, this is cool because we can go big and snazzy and display things in a roughly non-linear order. This will allow easier navigation, more dedication to important things, less clutter, and most importantly, it'll be sexier.

However, there is a great deal that needs to be done with both the css and the php, and some of it involves php majicks that I'm not too familiar with, not being a php-wizard per se. I've already hacked it so that it displays the text of the featured post beside the picture, instead of the default which was only the picture itself.

One of the big things I'd like to change is that the posts are in a 3x2 grid, organized sequentially. Since we have a good variety of content, it'd be cool if we could dedicate a cell (these are currently ul items) to a particular category. These could easily be: News, Tourney Coverage, Interviews, Map  Reviews, Events, and Misc. This will involve making a dedicated cell for each one, and pulling it from the content via the tags on the posts... I'm sure this can be done quite simply, I'm just not well-versed enough to hack it.

What follows is a brain-dump of other things it needs:
-Button Images to make them stand out
-A twitter button next to the text
-A fixed bottom area that's useful.
-A dynamic schedule (google gadgets now has css customization, so I'm working on that), ideally showing a display of the next weeks events to come.
-The upper Tune In box is in shambles, it needs sex.
-A centralized Video page that has Ease of Access(tm) and an easy way to stay updated on all of the covered leagues.

That's the short list :)

Anywho, if anybody has any thoughts, suggestions, etc, I'd be more than happy to hear it. If you actually want to dig around the files and see what can be done, let me know and I'll grant thy css wizard access.
