UAP's getting a face lift ;)

Eyyy!

So I have been slaving the past night and day to create a new myspace layout for Under Attack Promotions (www.myspace.com/underattackpromotions).
Pretty much, I am sick of the old layout and over time with myspace constantly changing their strings, attributes, etc.
That it called for a new layout and esspecially with the new year/season ahead.
Why not?

So, if you have seen the current/old layout, then you can follow me in my explanation.
Pretty much, I wanted the new layout to be more functional/interactive, easier to navigate and easier to change things when needed.
So I completely scraped all the past code/style and started fresh.
One of the main things I wanted was a better Artist Feature.
With the old one, Artist of the Month meant their song as profile song for a month.
Oh and a link, it was nothing bands could look forward too.

So with this new one I revamped it.
Now, when they get Feature Artist, they get one whole section for them.
Which has, their name, band photo, band bio, player and complete linkage.
And it's been put right at the top.
Now, that's something band's can get amped about =)

The next feature I worked on was how the flyers worked.
Originally it has been a maximum of 4 flyers (2 UAP supported and 2 Non Supported) showing on the front page.
Now this wasn't a good system when it came to having a bundle of flyers.
Which meant they'd only get promo closer to the date of their gig.
So what I did this time is wrote up a Marquee for them.
So on the left side, it will automatically scroll through all flyers.
This allows everyone to have the chance to be seen.
I am still working on other things.

But, the biggest thing would be the style change.

I am hoping to have this all perfected and due for release either on Jan 1 or Xmas day.

If you want a sneak peak of the new one,

Although it is constantly being changed and experimented on.
But, please hit me up with suggestions!
