Updating our OFBiz Blog Template

[Sharan-F]

Hi Everyone

I've received some feedback (and a link) from Kenneth for an initial
design for a new blog format based on the style of the new website.

https://codepen.io/kennethp/full/OjEvaJ/

Please can you take a look and let me have your comments and feedback.

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan -

I've had some time to review the OFBiz blog. Updating only the CSS, I've
been able to come up with something that is much more similar to the
design of the new site. This is what I've come up with:
https://codepen.io/kennethp/full/OjEvaJ/

I could make it much better if I'm able to edit some of the HTML content
as well. Looking at the code, there are empty anchor tags, and overall
the code just looks kind of messy. I'd love to do some additional work
and structuring of the HTML for better flow and organization, so let me
know if edits to the HTML are possible or not.

Also, please provide any comments or feedback you have on the current
direction of the design (remembering there are things I'd like to do if
I can add some edits to the HTML, mostly layout).

With regards to the SVN code of the new site, I'm not quite sure how to
access those files. However, I was able to update the index.html file on
my local instance, and have the Slider Block looking a bit better with
transparent screenshots images (attached). I've also attached the HTML
file, so you can see the updates (Lines 125 - 200) See if you can
implement those and let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks so much!

Much better! Responsive, with colors matching our logo and brand. +1

Hi Sharan, All,

It's certainly better than what we have now, no doubts.

Now, reading Kenneth's message, I think we should try to invite him as a committer ASAP, hoping he will like the idea :)

Opinions?

Actually I did it on purpose. I don't expect to discuss it there but that's the answer I wanted to say.
Because it seems to me that, if Kenneth's is interested, it would much more easier for everybody and a great profit for the project.

But anyway, as I said I don't want to start a discussion about an invitation (not a nomination) in the dev ML, even if I don't see anything secret to
hide.
Actually I don't like much discussions done in the background when there is nothing to hide.

There isn't anything secret here but discussing about an individual in an
open list may be uncomfortable/embarrassing for the person and for the ones
solicited to express an opinion: this is the only reason why in this
project, and several other Apache projects, proposals for committership
have always been discussed in the private list.

Hi Sharan,

great, this looks much better now, especially with the bigger font size.

I'm not sure, but how about making it look more like our new website?

Thanks and regards,

Michael
