Coming Real Soon
Yeah, if you read the first Coming Soon you'd have an idea of what this post is about -- the new FM homepage.
The homepage is already designed, I got the mock-up today -- Yesterday, wrote this Sunday -- and a confirmation on a few things going into the design, and I suppose I can expect it within a fortnight, if all goes well.
The new homepage will have a sidebar divided into 3 parts:
Top; Links to new homepage, blog, affiliates page, forum, and an about page.
Middle; 4-6 affiliate buttons displayed, first 2 being great sites, last buttons will be newest.
Bottom; Maybe a Last Blog Post section, or what's in the works for Fynmark, or something. Still deciding.
One thing I can say with absolute certainty, is that the new homepage will be more preffesional, and great. Maybe even better looking than this blog, depending on your tastes.
But this couldn't be possible without Dan, so check out his website, and say thanks to him, right now.

You'll see the great new style for the homepage when it comes out, so you'll see the final cut.
Coming Soon
I've got some new stuff in store for Fynmark.
The biggest thing, though, is a brand new homepage.
Not WordPress, but HTML and CSS only, and it'll be completely separate from this blog, so Fynmark appears more professional.
The New Style
Date of Release:
So, in Fynmarks colors - Light/Pale blue, sky-ish blue, dark (sky) blue, white, etc - the new theme'll be made. You can expect something pretty nice, and it'll be started this Weekend. If all goes well, it should - hopefully - be released next Sunday to Wednesday, I believe. Not in 5 days, Sunday, but in a week from this coming Sunday.
The theme, in general, is an outline like FMUp, but with a right-sidebar, that has links to a few places on the new "home," then Blogs, Forums, and FMUp. Then, content area, and I won't go into details.
But, none of this could be accomplished without Dan. He's the coder of the new homepage, and you can thank or blame him for whatever the turnout - and me, I'll say changes/perfection when i get the mock-up.
So, stay tuned. <Cheesy clicks and forms>
Been Looking
Another week since my last update.
What can I say? I'm getting back to posting now.
Now for the news:
The forum users here know I've been looking for a new style. A nice and clean, gray, black, or gray-and-black style. I've got a list of 3 in Notepad. And I've been looking at tuts on how to mod a style, specifically change the avatar side from right to left. If ViciousDuck would rise from the dead and seem alive again, by posting on his blog or replying to my email (not on a style), I might ask him for one of his old VD Forums styles. It was one with slanting AJAX-loader-esque rectangle below the header, but I think above the forums-area. I want to add it to my list of choices.
FM Forums members also know I'm changing the ranks. Here's the topic where I posted the new ones. I'm still deciding on rank images. It's actually hard.
Well,
It's that time again. Time for merriment and the Holiday Gift Giving season. When I find a new forums style, I'll try to deck the halls with bows of holly... *fa la la la laaa, la la la laa*. But for the non-Christmas celebrators, happy holidays, happy [insert holiday here], and Happy New Year. I know it's a bit early, but I might not post again for a while.
I'm also happy to say we got a new active member on the forums - Forsaken of AG. He's even earned 10% VIp Status Points already due to his contributions on his first day on Fynmark.org Forums. If you're Shadow, Verda, artE, or Rey, there's hope for you too, and everyone else I didn't say.
Verda, Sliferz, you're still to find me 3 phpBB3 styles each by Christmas.
See ya around.
