STICKY POST

Redesigning My.Opera space tutorial - Index Page

, ,

[img]http://tinypic.com/i22ivk.jpgI wrote 5 (IMHO) logical parts of modifying any Opera community space to meet your needs and desires...
It is my personal recommendation that you read this parts one by one, and not to jump from one to another, at least if you are not experienced with CSS and you are reading it for the first time.
In the first parts all the elements are explained, documented and 4 examples are added (code + screenshots), and in later parts you will only be directed to specific parts of main.css for your template to search and modify it yourself since all elements you might want to change have been briefly explained before.

If you like this spotlight it :wink:[img]http://tinypic.com/i23t5z.jpg

Part 1: Header part of your My.Opera Space

Title text, Subtitle text, Header image and menu background [Link]

Long time no see...

, ,

I haven't posted any banners or smileys or similar stuff I usually post here, but I had a very good reason :smile: Lately I put all my energy into My.Opera Spotlights. Originally it as made for daily digest but the ideas I had from the start, to make it some sort of tribute blog to those who do good stuff around here, are becoming real lately. I started with weekly interviews with Opera community team members and with Opera community heroes.
Six days a week routine I kept from the begining (5 daily + weekend) will be continued, and new "features" might be also introduced soon, depending on my spare time and will of others, but for now, you can enjoy interviews with scipio, chaals, server monkey, Tamil and olekasper... and soon many many more :wink:

A no way out situation regarding Opera Community

,

When community is stable it is slow .. and it is unstable quite too often...
Team working on the community is simply too small to handle all the requests form users and hardware running this is simply not able to handle it or is simply wrong configurated..
I've been active here almost 6 months now, and I can't say anything spectacular happend, though hard work can be seen..
Anyway... I will continue working on what I personally can change, by making interesting posts albums good suggestions, new sections I'll moderate and so on, but I really hope that Opera Software ASA will see the potential of Opera Community and help it grow by adding more people and funding to community...
