Change to the home page
CodenStuff
Hello Coders,

For a long time now the home page has only displayed site news & announcements but because we have no news or anything to announce that often the posts displayed on the home page remained the same for weeks and sometimes months until we had some more news. I never really like that because to new visitors it would probably appear that nothing is happening on the site if they saw a post on the home page dated April 1965 so I have made a change.

From now on the home page will show a regularly updated list of the latest tutorials, source-code, software listing and work-in-progress posts made on the site so the home page stays fresh with new content and it also helps to bring attention to the tutorials and files that you post on the site.

I think it looks better and gives a good first impression to new visitors cooll;

It's a good idea but the design needs a little tweaking. The posts look relatively dull, maybe the other parts of the page are a little too colorful.

The posts might not be dated April 1965 but the layout as said by #Usman55 seems a bit off the beat.
IMO divide the box of the post in 2 parts such that the title is in one part and the post in another. Add some kind of a line between the two and make the border of all the boxes of the posts a bit thicker and darker.
Instead of LOL use this -

Which means -
Laughing silently in between my head because it wasn't funny enough to actually laugh out loud!

I like the fact I can get a preview of a topic before even clicking on it, but as a few members have said, the transition between the colourful part of the page and that is a bit odd. It needs more rainbow action lol

Maybe just a coloured border outlining the preview section... I think that'd look nice.

The look will be improved I'm still working on it. I like to put things on the site to make sure they work and display ok for people while continue to work on it and update it later depending on what people think and any ideas they have to improve it cooll;

I knew that #CodenStuff. I know your way of working. Just wanted to keep everyone assured it's not the final product.
