In case you're wondering "what is up with this",
*I was just fooling around, and this happened.
*Yes, I would like to see the main page looking like this, if not something better.
*The layout was inspired by, but ended up nothing like, the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki WikiMedia homepage.]<br>(making a page like that would require actual talent, and even if it was made, it would be hard to maintain)
*I tried not to change the content itself, only give it a 2-column layout.
*Nothing is terribly wrong with the main page as it is, but I like the 2 column idea, because
:*Shorter lines are easier to read.
:*The layout promotes browsing around instead of linear scrolling.
:*3 columns are too many.
*The images are basically placeholders. 
:*They were put there to occupy the extra white space. 
:*I think they add a little needed color. 
:*They are not ''great'' images, merely OK.
*I'm not possessive about this 'design.' Don't want authorship credit or anything. Share and enjoy.
*(EDIT) The 2 columns are unequal on purpose.

:Cool stuff, [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168012#post1700803 a while back] I also started experimenting with the main page: [[User:Reel.Deal/Main_Page_sandbox]]. I too would like to see the main page change a bit. Its looked the same for way too long now, change every once in a while is good thing. [[User:Reel.Deal|Reel.Deal]] 22:54, 14 September 2015 (CEST)
