TA DA!!! My Book of Mormon in Mesoamerica website

Post by **_Blixa** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 12:05 am

I'd switch out alot of the patterned wallpaper...I think it clashes with the text the most --- of course I just took a quick look and I understand its a work in progress..

Because you have to be patient, and give the post time to load. If you press "submit" more than once, you're going to have duplicate posts.

Ok, I changed all the font to 12 pt, and swapped out the darker or strongly patterned backgrounds for ease of reading. I can't bring myself to get rid of ALL the backgrounds, because I carefully chose some to go along with the theme... like I love the cat paws for Holy Lord, because the kings used to transform into their animal way, and the jaguar was popular. so I just can't bring myself to change some of them, but I did change the ones that were harder to read.

Does that help?

TD,

I'm going to create more pages. This is just the beginning. I saved some old conversations that had good information on them, and am going to put that information together in page format. Then I'm going to (with your help ;) start a blog and link it to the website for people who want to discuss those issues.

Yes, I understand there is a very limited audience for this topic, but I'm after quality, not quantity! :) I can't help it that I'm interested in weird things.

by the way, coggie, this website does not criticize belief in the Book of Mormon as a spiritual document or even the word of God. In fact, I explicitly explained on one of my pages that I view that as legitimate as belief in the Bible or Koran. I'm arguing against one very specific claim - that the Book of Mormon is an ancient Mesoamerican document.

others - thanks for the encouragement! I've been meaning to do this for a long, long time. The Zarahemla format was ok, but unless you do wiki editing on a frequent basis, you forget what to do, and don't bother updating it, which is what happened for me.

Personally, I would use the same wallpaper (whatever it may be) on all your pages.

Uniformity = professionalism.

And I would strongly consider switching to an Arial or Times Roman font.

Beastie...

I am so excited for this.

It will be nice to get all your information and those great discussions on one site. I think your work is a valuable contribution to the whole Book of Mormon discussion!

I happen to think more and more folks want to learn about the Book of Mormon... it doesn't matter how limited the audience, your site offers important information for those who want to learn the truth about how the Book of Mormon relates to Mesoamerica.

Maybe there could be a link, "Responses to FAIR/FARMS?" Or something along those lines?

:-)

Breaking up text into two columns, or even a single narrower but longer column helps readability. Clear backgrounds help too.
