User blog:KryoYmir/Week One

Trying something new out here.

I don't want this wiki to be intimidating or weird to fans. That's not a wikis job. That'd be a bad thing to do. *Cough* Accel World Wiki, lookin' at you.

Anyway, I thought it would be neat to use this blog space to talk about important stuff happening behind the scenes of the wiki, and what we're trying to do. First off- let me apologize for any issues you may have with the wiki's design.

Currently, the background picture is an edited version of the Insert Genre Here cover, on sideways repeat. Why? Because Wikia has stupid fuckin' rules for background images. They have to be 300 KB or less, which is basically impossible if you have any complex graphics (or honestly anything more intricate than a fuckin checkerboard), so I apologize. The image is a 1600px by 1600px jpeg, sitting at like 298 KB, so I think that's as good as we're gonna get it. Sadly, the favicon is just a boring black GB logo (exactly like groundbreaking.xyz <-<), but I wanna fix that eventually. The wordmark is the IGH logo, poorly magic-wanded out of the cover art and slapped together in Pixlr. ''I'm trying, I swear. ''I'm trying to see if I can work some coding magic to have it send you to the album's Bandcamp page, but no luck so far. It would help if I could code.

I've been working like a demon to get the discography section finished by the end of this week, and it looks like I prob'ly won't make it in time, barring some miracle (like another user doing a similar amount of work). Once we've got the actual music itself done, I think we'll be in the clear for the most part. Groundbreaking doesn't really have a tour history or anything like that, so we're not too far behind in terms of info. Ideally, I want this wiki to be structured similar to the NinWiki, since they're actually cool as fuck. I doubt we'll be getting a list of BPM rates up anytime soon, though (I know Standoff is 120 and Broken's like 135 or somethin', so that's a start, right??).

Once we've got the discographies shored up, I'll prob'ly start adding in pages for some other big names in the GB community, like Avex and Shadrow. The idea is that we'll be totally up-to-date by the end of January, so we can start keeping up-to-date with future releases.

If you're new to the Wiki, you can help out by messaging the staff any of the following information If you're Groundbreaking himself, don't look at this yet, it's not done. Go away. Shoo.
 * Kaffe Live setlist
 * Amplyfi setlist
 * Boomers Bar setlist
 * Pre-Devastator album release dates
 * Pre-Devastator lyrics

Anyway, that's about it for now. Seeya next time.
