The New BDJ...

[Bulldawg Junction]

Dawgstudent suggested that I give you guys a look at the redesign we will be rolling out in the near future...

http://mississippistate.infusionsports.com/

This isn't the finished product by any means... but as we build this animal I wanted to get your thoughts and input so that we can build a better site.

Drop me a note to tell me what you think.

GO DAWGS,

I dunno Michael I like the way it looks now, but it certainly doesn't look bad. Is it an upgrade? I can't say if it is yet. I'm sure once I get used to it I will love it. Keep up the good work over there.

It is better than the current format.</p>

 

[Optimus Prime 4]

it's cleaner, slicker. I wouldn't have the two columns of articles and pictures next to each other like that though. Break it up. Put something in between, or offset with a picture or something.

Just a suggestion.

If you want to keep Bulldawg Junction more and more relevant, then have something EVERY DAY in theBiscuits. Doesn't have to be recruiting, either. One or two items(more is better) keeps the site fresh. As it is now, I don't know when you willupdatethe Biscuits.After a day or two of nothing fresh on the Biscuit front, I quit looking.

Get dependable on your Biscuits and I think you'll be really happy with the results.

Thanks for the good work.

Paul has been doing the biscuits 4 days a week (M-Th, Friday is for Flashback Friday) ever since the beginning of that feature
Until about a month ago that is..with Baseball wrapping up and Football done he decided to make it M-W.
As far as when it being updated again..Paul took this week off for the first time since the site started and the biscuits should be back monday.
He said all this several times on the recruiting forum but I guess you missed it.

 

[Bulldawg Junction]

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

The content was certainly slack this week but it will be back to full strength next week. With Paul being on vacation and I focused on the redesign this week...next week will be rolling once again. We have a lot of fun things kicking in next week!

Thanks,

Michael

it looks a lot like www.starkville-now.com

I am looking forward to the improved database, though.

it looks a lot like www.starkville-now.com

Well it does.

Do I smell copyright infringement?

 

[bulliegolfer]

It's a good site. I encourage anyone who has not tried it out, to give it a test drive.

 

[onewoof]

first for the good. it's 70% right in the layout. mostly right choices. but not quite where it should be for the "polish".<div>
</div><div><div>wrong serif font (choose a san serif) choice for "home football baseball basketball"</div><div>
</div><div>get help with the bulldawg junction logo, it should be more professional, looks 2nd rate, its brand damaging for your site.</div><div>
</div><div>wrong font for "join facebook twitter FI Login"</div><div>
</div><div>as a rule of thumb, clean, consistent, simple (use the same font throughout, in varying weights, don't make the site too "busy" with filler)</div><div>
</div><div>wrong serif font choice (choose a san serif font) on the title of the featured content overlays</div><div>
</div><div>also, get a professional graphic artist to do the "coachSpeak" logo graphic with Sherrill. It looks 2nd rate too.</div></div>

You must not need new members very much. I am pretty good with computers and websites and could not for the life of me figure out how to sign up as a paid member. I signed up as a free member but searched in vain for the premium membership.

 

[dawgstudent]

isn't live. Go to http://bulldawgjunction.com to sign up.

outside of a couple of guys on sixpack and your site, there is nowhere to get standardized baseball info. How about an area under baseball for the commits, their info and stats so that we can see what they are doing and who we have comming in just like it is done with football and basketball. By the way, I really like the site.

 

[StarkvilleNow]

like the "Church" theme from Studiopress.com. I used it as the basis for the redesign we did a year or so ago. Good template, but they have some better stuff now. About to change SN again....

Best bang for the buck for a website build. I would get rid of the crosses used as list icons and the C favicon. Drop me a line if need some help.

 

[Todd4State]

You do a better job than Gene is every area except for baseball. I know he may some advantages when it comes to that sport, and I know that we may be crappy in it right now, but I think there are also a LOT of people that care about it and want to read about it.

If you can beat Gene in baseball, I think you can clean him out because you are honest and straight to the point, and that's what I want regarding baseball.

Very rarely do I ever read about a potential baseball recruit on your site, and if I do, it's likely someone that has already committed. I do remember a story on Jackson Posey, maybe one on Kaleb Barlow and one on Daniel Allen, but that's about it.

There are guys like Andrew Pierce, Hunter Renfroe, Scott Votaw, and etc. that I want to know about as far as where they stand with MSU.

I find the maroon font on black background difficult to read. Might want to put a small white border around the text to make it pop just a bit.
