I agree Soo. I saw the post on the top 3 teams battling it out and thought I would ask about it. I too don't oppose to it but I also wont be saddened if we don't add it to the memorial cup league. The only scenario I would be in favor of a 'Host' team being involved was if the defending Memorial Cup champ from the previous season was named the host team and got an automatic berth into the final. This could be the 'perk' of winning. That's how I always thought they should do it in real life. If that team is already made it then go down the list and take the 2nd place Memorial Cup team, etc.

Little progress report on our new league logos. Each of the three leagues will all have a logo of the exact size and shape with a different color scheme. These logos will be hover over buttons on our main website to direct people to the forums. I will also update all of the forums to match these logos, eventually. This logo may change into something completely different by the time I am done. This was my first ever attempt to do my own Photoshop work. Downloaded it and started learning it earlier today. As of right now I am happy about the results but we will see what happens as my skills continue to develop. I am not sure how I feel about the vertical lines going through it so I may end up trying out a few other options to fill it in. Let me know how you guys feel about that as well as any other constructive criticism to help improve the design.

Liking it Soo. With the new images the stripes do kind of stand out but that could be just me

This one I am struggling with...Trying to create a main banner for the top. Obviously it will look a little nicer once I get the buttons installed on the tab bar. I really limited myself on what I can do here because of my idea to feature the three bright different colored logos on the home page right under the main banner. Just way to much clashing if I try to get crazy with the main banner design or even just try to add color to it. I'll have to work on it some more and see if I can make it a little better. I am starting to run out of patience though lol. Photoshop is very time consuming when you don't have a lot of experience with it.

Well here is the finished layout of the home page. I'm just using my computer to host the site with Microsoft Frontage until I figure out what route to go with the web host. So a screen shot is all I can do for now. I put my mouse over the blue OHL logo to show the effects. I couldn't think of any other sections for the website besides Standings, League Info, Trophy Cabinet and Contact Us. Did I mis anything? Haha you better figure out how to get on there before my teams done being rebuilt.. Because after that it's going to be a long wait for everyone.

Looks great, thanks for all the hard work Thanks! Has anyone ever had any luck viewing the graphics of our forums from a phone or like an Ipad or something? It doesn't work on my phone. I'm wondering if maybe I just have to update something on my phone or if its like that for everyone for whatever reason. Never had to worry about being mobile friendly back when I did this kinda stuff. I have the website live on a friends domain/host just to troubleshoot and make sure I still know what I am doing before we get our own.... I managed to have zero flaws in my transfer from Microsoft Front page to a live host! No alignment issues or anything. That's pretty fortunate.... The technology is much evolved from what I use to work with. So once we get our domain/host we will be up and rocking. I'll wait until it's on our own stuff before I post a link. I may or may not get to it tonight, it will be soon though. We will see. Even when it is live the content still needs to be added. I have all the pages linked together and everything, just need to write something up for league info and all that kinda crap. I probably won't worry about that for a little while. We also are still working on figuring out the best way to host the standings with the most minimal effort possible. That feature could be a month or two away. But none the less, we will be up and 85% of the work done.

dynastyleague.xyzThis is our website .xyx works all the same as a .com but a lot cheaper Went with an easy to remember generic league name instead of something long like thememorialfantasycup. Not like we are a commercial business or anything.
