Awesome, thanksALSO - Is anyone interested in writing support articles, working on support forums, and editing the Dragon Drop wikia? Let me know!I can if you want! – Also I'll be in charge of the Polish wiki.Golden, for the social media post, you need to turn all of those links into clickable linksI updated it. I think that way they will find it easier…

1.) On the Sign Up page, the background really doesn't fit with the color choices for the text. The text should probably be on a solid color background, although you could put a dragon on the side. I would recommend a brighter color, but a dark red would do the trick as well.
2.) I don't see why we have different logons for scratch users vs. non scratch users.
3.) The Consistently different backgrounds don't look very good. Let's just make the same dragon background for everything. My recommendation would be the dragon from the signature paired with a solid color or a metallic color.
4.) The Guy typing as a background isn't helpful. It distracts from any actual content on the page. Aren't we making a drag and drop editor anyway xD.
5.) Somehow the colors don't flow. We need some sort of color scheme that flows throughout the whole site.
6.) “No programming or development knowledge needed, our ma” <— The last piece just popped up. We need a baby dragon cartoon bubble with that xD
7.) The font has to match throughout the whole website.
8.) The Quotes aren't looking to good. Remove the images, and if possible make something that continuously switches between different quotes. Also we should find some real quotes xD
1) I will work on that.
2) I don't understand what you are talking about
3) Thank you for the ideas. What page is the dragon background on right now?
4) They will look at the content sometimes, and it makes us look good. And what do you mean by that?
5) We will be working on that later on
6) It is showing in the code, and I am working on fixing now
7) Agreed, we are working on getting the style sheet on every page
8) yes, I am working on quotes
It doesn't exist. It's the signature that we occasionally wear. Someone would have to make it.
2.) I'm not sure why we have a requirement for a scratch logon vs. a non-scratch logon. I was just asking how this arose.
4.) The gif (I assume its a gif) that appears there distracts someone from the actual content. It looks unprofessional in a way, and it'll lag on slower computers. If I were to have the typing dude it wouldn't be as the whole background.
5.) It's important when we are working on design. What about Dark Red + Slate?
The first thing with no number) What are you talking about?
2) This is because we are not allowed to collect certain info from Scratch users, and Scratch users get special tools (and normal users get tools Scratch users don't)!

Here's a pretty bad rough sketch of it

Completed a series of quick sketches for the website here.
Do note that those are simply quick sketches and aren't precisely detailed, and that I am not an official designer for this website. Simply just throwing out ideas in the air and hopefully some of them would not fall on the ground.
Anyways, tell me how my ideas look and if any of you are considering it!
(Goals: Simple interface while maintaining quality and necessity. Did not create sketches for individual pages (except the editor and welcome page) because those should be open.)
Thanks for reading,

“ALSO - Is anyone interested in writing support articles”THANKS! I will get the jobs for writing out sometime soon.
I can do support articles. I can write whatever needs to be written.
“That would be great! Do you want me to promote you to admin”
Temporarily Sure. I don't need to be admin forever, just long enough to make the blog look visibly pleasing
And you are promoted
Do we know what font we used in the signature?
Either one of the two that we have?
Not sure, sorry.

Sorry, I haven't been on this thread recently, due to obvious reasons. 
Anyways, I have two three majors concerns.
1) The websites color scheme is… interesting. I'd say we need a new one. Something that really pops (and looks really good). There are tons of websites that give you free colors schemes like color.adobe.com and other websites that I can't remember the name of right now.
2) The website is very inconsistent. There are different fonts and colors used everywhere. We need to stick to one color scheme (as said above) and one or two choices of fonts. There are also tons of pointless and distracting animations that (I think) should be removed.
3) The email needs to include more about what we expect from them, and not as much about what our project is about. It should also be much longer, that is a really short email.
I'm too busy too proof read this, so there may be some errors.

I just need content to add, that's all.(Experience: A Scratch Collaboration wiki, Minecraft server wiki, and a few others. Wonderful at using headers and infoboxes.) If you need to know what my username on Wikia is, it is Austinato.
