mgsa home page love

edited in General
OK guys, with the two festivals coming up (and all the publicity we will get from that as well as the ones we've been getting lately thanks to @zoe and @htxt and everyone else I of course have forgotten to mention) (not to mention all the cool things we've been doing like Super Friendship Arcade and more)

...I think it's time we made the home page better? If only on the most basic level? For example:

1. Fix the banner - so that it resizes with the width of that space. When the width is smaller (ipad especially) than the banner it just looks plain broken. When the banner's smaller the space behind it can fill it up at least?

2. With that same code that resizes images we can apply that to the other bits of design, and make visual links to bits of our forum that should get attention.

3. Yes I know we got all sorts of things written in the paragraph there but that's just poor tutorialisation. The paragraph doesn't need to go anywhere, we should just have some highlights.

I know it's not on everyone's top of the radar at the moment but I really think this would help us, and is something necessary in the mid/long term, especially, again, with the festival season coming up.

Your thoughts?
