This site was outdated 10 years ago.
Still, it wouldn't be iorr.org if it weren't painfully unorganized and ffffugly.

I'd always assuned that shot of the boys was the last photo of them together on stage. In which case it makes sense. If it's not from the curtain fall on the last show, then it makes nosense and could do with a change.

exactly, my bookmark goes right to the forum anyways, don't need to see pics of the old vegas stones.

Yes, I think we could use a photo of Mick at the White House Blues show!

From "A Book by Demetri Martin" by Demetri Martin.

In the chapter, "More Statistics" pg. 256

"Yes" actually means "No" 100% of the time, when the question is, "Can I give you some advice?"

And not meaning to be harsh, but curious shadooby

a) under what circumstances do you go to the home page?

b) what difference would it make to you what the home page looks like?

c) are you prepared to offer BV your wireframes, mock-ups, time and expertise to do the design and development work, testing, tweaking, and then field the inevitable bitching by people who don't like it anyway?

aww c'mon change is the spice of life. Painful sometimes but always changin for the better, that's the goal. If your gonna fall no worries , just fall towards the goal line.

Yeah I'd love to see a better picture on the main page mainly because THAT PICTURE SUCKS. I didn't like it the first time I saw it. Mick looks horrible, I'll bet he can't stand it either. peace

Hasn't bv already agreed to consider any new photo ideas so long as they're not copyrighted to a 3rd party ?...........I thought I saw that a few weeks ago.......

...and ROCKMAN when ya gonna change ya signature pic?

Ok, I've went 2 weeks without a snippet about "Rockman" (yes I am obsessed with him). If he don't like change then so be it

Hey the sig is handy when ya lookin for ya words in a thread...
But besides that what am I gonna change it to....Charley Patton...Freddy Flinstone....The Killer...???



ROCKMAN

how bout "Obama" ?

IORR has vintage looks, it is fine by me, the internet is just full of fancy fashionable sites, that keep on changing all the time, which is their only quallity. I like simplicity

No, it isn't, they are obvoiusly at the stadium stage.

Repainting Mona Lisa or The Scream? To a more modern design? Eh? Will it add value? Every time I change something on IORR there are lots and lots of complaints. Ask youself this: What would the add value be?

I don't have time or money for paid assistance here. Remember IORR is not for profit, free to you, no income to pay for work, design or ideas. If someone is coming up with a great new idea or design then may be, or may be not. I am just as bored with the IORR home page as you, but I am just too busy to spend a day or a week on a new design... And my priority is 100% on content and visibility on the net, very little on design.

Finally an advice from me as a web analytics professional. The home page is over-estimated. Most companies pay too much for a home page design, and they redesign every 2-3 years. Still, with a great search visibility,like IORR being on the Google top 10 worldwide, most people do never see the home page. They search and land on the actual contents. So a redesign would have to work for all pages, all contents. And IORR has got a million or so unique pages. This is a hint on why I don't have time right now. I might write a script that replaced all styles and icons and links and stuff on all IORR pages, but it would take more than an hour. More than a week actually. And I would never break one basic rule on being on top of international search: Never change any web addresses i.e. keep all URL's forever...

Very simple rule. If something is working good, don't try to make it better.
