Taking down a functional existing site while building a new one is pretty bad practice... sites should be built on a test platform or offline and then uploaded/moved all at once upon completion.

BTW I\'m a web/graphic designer and prob woulda done this hella cheap or possibly pro boner depending on the complexity :P I hope they aren\'t paying too much.

main reason I never visited the site....started right away and always seemed extremely loud.

i\'m pretty sure thebreakfast.org has been down for a little while anyway. the logo with \'coming soon\' is as much as they\'ve had for weeks

I think .info should just annex .org and combine forces; then honey butter can autoplay every time you view a post!  :biggrin:

They should just install joomla or something like that. That way anyone with half a brain can make updates and they won\'t have to know any html-fu

lots of nice plugins. Hell if they want to save a few bucks I can host .org but I agree having info. org myspace etc etc is probably conuter productive.

Or they could get a  dreamweaver program or whatever its called that we have at work.   I figured it out without a direction manual.   Sure our website doesnt look fantastic, but at least its functioning and it doesnt cost us shit to update it.

Haha!  That\'s the first Breakfast shirt I ever owned... I think I bought it back in the day @ Porter\'s for my 5th Breakfast show.

:chin: So... do I really want to know why the shirt\'s named after me, Igzi? ;)
