my opinion (not worth much, intended to be constructive)
I hate busy backgrounds, your menu elements aren't very distinct from each other, i dont like water-marks on pages, your random images module sometimes gives you the same images, looks like you have parts of your footer in the $footer() and in the template. [about]

I'm a picky bastard so you dont have to listen to anything i say!

Other than that it is a very NICE site.  I wish you all the luck.

whoops... that's what I get for doing this while at work.

The copyright notice is supposed to be outside the main block... and I haven't decided what to do with the actual footer yet, other than the links to our team sponsors.

I've been trying to figure out a way to put a separator between the menu items, like a - or ~ something, but haven't quite figured the best way to do so without also having one after the last item.

Scratch that, I sorta have, on some of the third level pages using the cookie crumb feature in showmenu2, but I haven't had a chance to try and implement that on an entire level of a menu.

the images, yes... sometimes repeat... I'm just using the stock randomimage snippet. They're all pulled from a single folder. I have gone back and forth between that, and setting up five different folders and splitting up the images between them... and maybe just writing a new snippet that say pulls one image, and the next X images after it. So I might call it with RandomImage(5) and if it grabbed image 4, it would also display the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th in the array. (starting over at 0 if it hits the end of the array).

Just haven't spent that much time on it yet. But... the way it is makes it sort of like playing a slot machine, sometimes you get 3 or 4 of a kind! heh.

If it was more of a corporate site, I wouldn't do a watermark, and tone down the background... but for the target audience, I think it works well.
Thanks for the feedback tho, it is always appreciated.

You can see a screenshot of it here tho... http://baker.mnpages.com/pages/templates/original/mn-militia.php

Sweet... I like that.  (Your entire site is pro, in my opinion - perfect, as you said, for the target audience!  Heh... bad pun...)  Anyway, I was hoping to do the same thing  - I replaced the standard login box on all of my sites, but it would be great to have an "Edit this page" link along with Preferences/Administration/etc., just like you have. 

My question is, what code (in your template) did you use to get the link to go to the current page?  You probably have something like, http://www.example.com/admin/pages/modify.php?page_id= , but what goes after that?  Is there a [TEMPLATE_TAG] or PHP variable to grab the current page id?

I've been meaning to look this up for a while, but if you could enlighten me I'd really appreciate it!

Kudos on your site, and thanks for the help!

You can download the code for this here...

Whoa - I am really impressed with your Baker addons.  I tried downloading your Edit Page snippet, but instead of downloading it it looks like it ran the php file instead.  The ZIP'ed files all work fine, but I couldn't seem to download the two snippets.  (Maybe it's just me.)  If you're bored if you want to take a look at that (maybe just put the php files inside zips?), but I'm sure you have better things to do.  I sure appreciate your help, though.  You are definitely a master chef.   :-)

I noticed that last night, and was going to zip those up and re-add them and forgot.

I'll try to do so later today, but there is also a thread in the Snippets topic that I have it pasted in the discussion.

And thanks :>
