Ofcourse I follow the AusOpen... With 2 Belgian girls doing very well, it would be a shame not to.

Horrible looking frontpage for such a great event, but the site works and the info is there.



:roll: you aint kiddin there. wots up with that comic book drawing lol


Hmm, well. That's what they wanted, so that's what they got. :)

I suppose I could ask our content guys who actually designed it, but if it's like the others, they make the spash, and we (our content folks) design the rest of the site during active tournament time.

Cheers.

Interesting. I suppose that explains why I like the rest of the site. Just not that splash page. It just doesn't even say "Tennis" to me. First time I went, I almost left thinking I got the wrong page. The only thing that kept me there was I sat debating long enough that the page refreshed. Once I got to the content it was great.

That reminds me, I need to go take a peek at what happened yesterday.
Thanks for the heads up to how it came about.

You a big tennis fan perchance?

I admit, I am not overly fond -- I even had the misfortune of bumping into Seles during the 2001 US Open, and not really knowing who she was. :) Long story. Though, I must say, the whole thing is very different up close.
In any case, I will be lead on Wimbledon this year so I will hunt up any backgrounds the content guys do for us and put them up for you if you wish.

Cheers.

Not a big fan, Daemonguy. Admittedly I quit watching after Agassi lost. Nice to know you will be leading up Wimbledon, this year...congrats. Do me a favor and make the front-page "look" like tennis! *lol
