Penguin CMS

Yeah id have to agree with Minute44, the site looks without being rude.. Dated!

Phunk it up! web 2 is here baby! yeah! haha

Hmm well I definitely wouldn't bold the links on hover, it makes it very jumpy and annoying. I don't know past that though. I guess just look around and get some ideas. Oh and the dates look jacked. They're very confusing. Use an actually month name if possible or put it in the standard order of Month, Day, Year (Though that could be an American thing I don't know, but if it is then I would just use a month name)

eeek no americanism! lol its d, m, y !!!

We English know what we're on about! we drink tea and talk like the queen hahahaha

moreover, we all know the queen you know?

oh yes, we have tea and biscuits with her at ascot didnt you know harr harr

Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just wasn't sure! Most people don't write dates like that so I was just checking. Sorry if I offended anyone. The dates were just kind of confusing/annoying to me.

I don't think you offended anyone ha.
I prefer DD-MM-YYYY, it's logical.

It is... I've always known dates written DD-MM-YY/YYYY It puts the units in order of length. The American way has never made sense to me other than it's writtem more as if you were saying "January Seventeenth, Two thousand and eight"

Notice I said "Seventeeth" The American way would be to say "January Seventeen"... now that really does make no sense.

But all things considered... it's a date format, so who cares!?

I like the format: 17 January 2008. As Will Strunk points out, this mixes numbers and words for maximum clarity.

No one in the U.S. writes dates like that. We are taught early in school to write MM/DD/YYYY

Seems normal to us!

Well it's not normal! Damn Yanks!

*****JOKING!!!*******

ROFL!

I found that funny, but yeh alot of people do it different.

Would be easyer if you wrote teh first 3 letters of the Months Name instead of numbers.

That's true.

Linda, you must see the logic, though, in putting the units in order of length. day, month, year right?

Although I gotta say "Eleven - nine" doesn't have the same tabloid friendly ring to it as "Nine-eleven" don't ya think.

O dear.

I LOL'd inside.

US writs MM/DD/YYYY and I for one don't want to see it changed nor do I want my british friends to change theirs. How do I know I'm on a British website when the url is ImAmerican.us its because they put the date in DD/MM/YYYY. Neither is wrong, just different.

As for the penguin CMS I must say, the homepage looks nice. After that it is not so pretty. Also I've played around with the CMS and while it does what its supposed to it seems way to limited to be called a CMS as I beleive I have stated before. I really dislike the hover colors on the HUGE blocks of text. I know that it is a table background hover which makes for a GREAT effect when your dealing with 1,000s of rows of data that only take up 1 line so that a user can easily track where they are. But in the way you used it I must say I would highly recommend dropping it.

Yeah I say keep the day.month.year format but make the month the actual word or an abbreviation so it is friendly to everyone Much like how us crazy Yanks have cell phones

Yah so anyway.
I think you should have an option for the date format.

Hmm. I shall. I'm not quite sure how though.

Do you have an options page? I use XML for my settings. Very easy.
You could use mysql also though for settings.
I'd have a page with loads of settings (similar to Vbulletin's "vbulletin options") and save them to an XML file or MySQL table.

For this scenario I'd have a form and give them the option of DD-MM-YYYY, MM-DD-YYYY etc. and also give them the option to use their own forumula for advanced users.

Right now I only have a PHP file, no database. I'm working o
