Any progress? ![]()

Hey Nick, I got your PM safe and sound - the reason for the delay in replying is that I want to try and whip up another couple of example pages based on your comments, suggestions and preferences. I find it’s best to work that way when possible, as I’m not always very good at describing things but if I can give visual examples then things are usually clearer!

Hope to get a reply to you very soon, complete with a working model of a webpage layout that you’ll be happy with - I realise the delay in getting the Peter Lawrence interview live on the site must be a bit frustrating for you, my friend, but I promise that when it’s done it will be worth it for future interviews! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
Thanks for the prompt reply. It’s no problem - I look forward to seeing it. ![]()

Quick note in haste as I’m knackered after an evening out (playing music, what else, LOL!), but just wanted to let everyone know that Nick & I have been corresponding back and forth via PM and I’ve been able to come up with a revamped interview section that we’re both happy with. I’ve put a few hours’ work into getting these right and, whilst I’m sure there are still elements that could stand a tweak or two, it’s about as good as it’s going to get I reckon! ![]()
I still feel like a bit of a jerk overriding MannyF’s perfectly good version of these pages, but these new versions are easier for me to update myself, thus taking the pressure off of him. ![]()
Also - one change I’ve made is that there is now introductory text from Nick for every interview, which I think adds a nice personal touch and element of insight! ![]()
Here’s the new index page - follow the links through logically and everything should be there to see! ![]()

I’ve got to update the Cartoon Section’s index page with this stuff (as well as remove the Larry Kenney text interview from the section its hosted in currently) which I’d hoped to do this weekend but the clock has beaten me - however, I’m optimistic of getting it done within the next 48 hours! Once that’s done, at Nick’s request I tend to give it a plug on the front page of the site! ![]()
Even though I shall be deleting the old link to the interviews in the Special Features section when I update the index page, for the minute I’m going to leave the old version of the interview pages up, just in case anyone hasn’t updated their bookmarks - ultimately I plan to take them down (not least of all because the audio files are pretty damn big!) but if everyone’s cool with the old version staying online for a minute then that’s what I’ll do. 
Also, I’ve created a page for Nick’s documentary project - again, this will be added to the Cartoon Section index page when I update. Here it is:

Thanks for your patience, everybody, and looking forward to getting these live on the site! ![]()

Awesome. Thanks again, Chris. Really appreciate the work you’ve put into it -I think it looks great.
You’re not as basic at your HTML as you think ![]()
Update on interviews over at my status thread. ![]()

Just a quick note to let you know that the re-vamped interview section + the documentary are now live on the site, and have been heralded on the front page! ![]()
I hope to get some more stuff done for both the Cartoon and Comic Sections as my spare time allows! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
Nice update, Chris! Wow! I’m well pleased with that. ![]()

Also, in addition to the link Nick just posted, you might like to check out the completed interviews for Jim Meskimen and Peter Newman - Jim’s HTML page is completed, Nick just wants me to make the photo a little bigger, at the moment Peter Newman’s interview is just the raw mp3 until I build the page to go with it (which should take me no time at all)… ![]()

Hope you don’t mind me sharing these with the rest of the team, Nick - you should be proud of all the awesome work you’ve done and I’m sure the rest of the team agree! ![]()
Take care… ![]()
Chris has created pages for all the new interviews we’ve done. These haven’t been ‘released’ yet so it’s just between us. Our secret…
