10000 Islands website

[Rock McLargeHuge]

has anyone thought of doing a full website for the 10000 islands?

i would be happy to help with this, we could include the map, information on each nation, stories of great victories or losses, even move the forums onto there..

if there already is one, or if someone else is in the process of making one, then i apologise

[Henneth annun]

No, I was just thinking about that.

Fleeb & I are in the process of editing the website, but it's not complete right now.

[Izdambodia]

Will we be able to link our own NationStates-related website on it?

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

There will probably eventually be a place for links.

[jermyn]

Who brought the site?

[jermyn]

IS there any way &/or can I help? I have made a couple sites so I some experence in it if you need help.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Thanks for the offer, but I think Fleeb & I are going to do most of the work.

[jermyn]

Ok, (hope you do mind), How are you making it?

[Fleeb]

Jermyn, old man, this is a dangerous place to be volunteering! ;D

If you want to be a hero of the 10000 Islands--and I sincerely hope you do--what we need above all else right now (and have for months) is someone to tackle the map-maker job and really slay this dragon.

I mean, we been talking about this sucker since November or earlier. The beast has slain three good and true nations. Wert thou to fell the Monster, I bet Grub would give you his daughter's hand in marriage. (Or something better--free trip to Hawaii, who knows, name your price, man)

Seriously, give it a try.

if someone could give me a rough idea, i feel i could make a HTML/JPG version of the map for the site, using Image maps i could make each nation linkable to a short peice of information on them (or there nation information page on NS)

my photoshop/art skills are a little outta date so i doubt i could do it all on my own, therefore i offer to give any help needed...

Huh, what are you talking about?

[Fleeb]

I mean, step up and try to make us a map. We're looking ideally for someone with Corel Draw or the like, b/c we know that it produces excellent maps a la Europe. Show us what ya got.

I don't know how to make a map. What program?

[Bonaduce Alander]

Well I have an idea for making a map. Why don't we get all of the nations who know how to build maps and then bad them together to make a singular map or each nation that knows how submits a map to a central map maker and then help other regions who aren't so adept at making maps. We could have that kind of a system. If you catch my drift.

[Bonaduce Alander]

Whoop I meant band.

[Fleeb]

Would someone please list the programs that might be used to make a good map?

[Eterne]

Adobe Photoshop is one of the best for creating images.
