DD update post 3rd of March

Site redesign update, NEWS!

Alexey will now begin to tackle comic page templates, making them conform to the new style. Em has come up with two templates for us to start to work with (compact and standard size). These will be the standard default, unedited templates, but they will also affect user-edited templates in some ways in that the ad positions and menus will be a little different to how they are now. The challenge is to make sure these do not break continuity with current user-customised templates, so we have to be very careful!

Currently these aren't quite right yet but they're a good starting point. You'll notice some missing things: Favourites, Email alerts, Duckmark (Set Go), Recommend this comic, Go to forum", and the comic rating. Also "Blog" should always be "News". The navigation also wouldn't quite work with user-modified buttons and we'll have to think about how user links go with this, both text and image links.

- Lastly another $800 USD is due, which I will pay from my own money.
