I'm a programmer (and a hobbyist at that), not a designer. But, I know that perception is a big part of utilization. If my site's look absolutely horrible people are unlikely to use them. So, I've been spending some time working on the interface. There are several main additions:
1. ASP.NET AJAX - Its not heavily implemented at this point, though I intend to continue to add it in. Right now it occurs when you read some of the quick tips (they start out minimized) and with the login panel. Rather than always having a login panel on the screen, now it is only displayed when you click the "Login." navigational item.
2. New Font - Tepid Monkey Font Designs, created by Brandon Schoech, is a collection of over forty font designs that excellent and free. I discovered his "Eager Naturalist" font and have entirely fallen for it. I've removed the old GameSecretary logo (which was decent) and replaced it with just the simple text "GameSecretary.Com."
3. New Layout - I've redesigned the way some of the pages display. This should give a more aesthetically pleasing design.
Okay...This is a bit like pulling teeth for me, but I'm going to keep at it. If you have suggestions for ways I can make the site more aesthetically pleasing, let me know. I am also in talks with some designers to get assistance in the interface design as well.
