Alright, I've been killing some bugs today - you can finally use apostrophes in your link names without an extra \ getting added by PHP, and I also fixed the CSS issue that Blake pointed out. I'm working on the ampersand issue with the search box and hopefully can have it resolved soon.

The RSS feed option is sweet.

Is it possible to allow more than three RSS feeds display on the first row? I'm running at 1680x1050. I have plenty of space to allow for more, if not all six.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm running 1920x1200 resolution and there is definitely a lot of white space. I will play around with it to see how it looks - it may be a bit awkward and unbalanced, but it may be more practical.
 
Stop allowing for people who are still using 800x600! Make the step, make it for 1024x768 res! :P

No, in my opinion that's not good practice for any fixed-width design. Besides, the site is very light on content and the "tight" design holds everything together on larger resolutions.
 
Nice job Jordan. You might want to check your PM's. ;) Should I have said that in Site Feedback first? I mean the PM. Sorry I wasnt thinking.
 
Just to update everyone, you can now set the number of headlines that you want returned from your RSS feeds! :)
 
Another update, I changed the display of the RSS feeds a little bit so they appear more organized.
 
To tell you the truth, I like the old style display of the RSS feeds. If I can get that plus, limiting how many headlines are returned, that would be better I think.

It was just a joke, I actually agree. ;)

And I agree with Viper Zero, the old style of RSS feeds looked much better than the current one.

OK, hang on, the feeds got seriously borked there and I just saw it - they were NOT supposed to look like that. Check them again.

Ugh, are you kidding me? Looks like they're blocking my server's IP address. 👎 How does everyone like their HandyHomepages so far?

Wow, your schools one looks fancy, ours just had plain text (and it blocked google.com.au saying it was pornography…clever!).

What’s really interesting is that the entire GTP website and all of its subdirectories are blocked, except for the forums! I can access the forums from school, but not any other part of GTP.

I like my homepage!

Arrrrgh! This stupid WYSIWYG editor. I have to turn it off to post or I get an error.

Anways, you have fancy blocking pages at your school too! I thought our blocked page pages were the only ones that were fancy. The only difference on ours is the stop sign. Ours is in the middle and it is about 3 or 4 inches in height and width.
