	: The new bullets are a nice touch, however, they seem to sit a few pixels too high within the text line.

		+	I have a couple of ideas in mind so I went and made some preliminary edits to remember them. The featured location section is virtually never updated, so that is likely being removed. While it is important to have the latest publish and patch versions available, it doesn't really warrant its own section. I think it could be moved somewhere else or maybe to near the header link section. One new section I would like to add is a featured video. I am doing more videos now and it will be a lot easier to feature good ones than writing up an article for featured location.
		+
		+	The biggest change I want to make is to create a new section which will feature, at least at first, original UO articles. As I mentioned when I unveiled the new calendar, I have taken a liking to some features on the Starcraft [http://www.teamliquid.net/ Teamliquid website]. Each day they have a new story about a variety of topics. Whether it be announcing site updates, game news, funny commentary, etc. They currently update every day, but I would strive for an update every 3-4 days right now. Hopefully there will eventually be multiple people writing stuff or creating other things like a UO comic to put there on a regular basis. I have several article ideas in mind already and will likely do the first several myself.
		+
		+	I would like to roll out the Main Page redesign a couple days before the [[Adventures on the High Seas]] booster is launched. That is currently scheduled for October 12. - [[User:JC the Builder\|JC the Builder]] 18:07, 28 September 2010 (PDT)

 I don't like the look of the section links. When the page is 1024 wide there is a lot of space between them, when it is ~1600 they are all the way on the right. Wikipedia's looks a bit cleaner. Also the sections that are being linked and the order in which they appear needs to be worked out still.
