Testing new BG on CG

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Testing new BG on CG

Post by Barriecuda »

http://canadiangunners.ca/

Hi guys. Sorry for the personal plug.

Was wondering if you guys could be my sample audience and tell me if the new background is good, or if it makes the site too distracting and difficult to read?

This isn't the final but it's just a test to see people's opinions. Thanks!

I thought Brazillian gooner had done something :lol:

Thought your background was taking me off the reading.

Being a midget became a criminal offense and he's serving his due time. :twisted:


actually he cancelled his internet to change providers without knowing that the provider he wanted couldn't actually provide, so he's out of the web till he sorts that out. Stupid dwarf.

It is a tad off putting (for me anyway) it's like that fx in Jaws when Schneider is on the beach and the camera zooms in towards him blurring the background but he stays in focus,....well you did ask! :oops: ...For me it detracts and distracts from the stuff you're trying to read... :rubchin:

Thanks all. I have made it less in-your-face while I decide what to do with this idea.

For those who are sharp you will see that those are the same little "christmas trees" from the Arsenal badge of the 70s-90s.

As for BrazilianGooner, I am not certain where that crazy little crossdresser is :lol:

The background doesn't show on iPad, the main blog body is formatted to fill the whole screen. Will check it on the PC in a little while...
