Comments/criticisms for the Order website

Some pages have been moved around and rearranged, so old links might not work. Here is the main page:

Have a look around, let me know thoughts on the presentation, data, organization, etc. When we're happy with it, Sir Edward will cast the magical spell to make the domain name point to that URL. :)

Hey man, so far so good...I like the layout, its clean, uncluttered, easy to navigate and the link names make sense which makes the entire package user-friendly!  So kudos thus far, no criticisms from my domain, such as it is.

Agreed with Paladin.  Very nice job!

Sounds kind of elitist since obviously no one outside that area has got wind of it...

Our order is still in the very early stages (about three weeks old), so we would not expect too many people outside our immediate circle to have heard of it.  Hopefully that will change as the Order finds its legs.

EDIT:  Dragonlover, you're listed as a guest, but your screen name sounded so familiar I had to do a quick search.  You've posted quite a few times and seem to already know Sirs Edward, Brian, and Wolf from the faires, plus your kit is phenomenal!  Ever think about joining a an order of modern chivalry? ;)

That is an interesting comment.  In what way?

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?

To reply to the Red Knight and several others, the Order sounded elitist because all knights listed are from that area. I didn't know if it was to be open to all, or just that region.
Yes, I've posted 400+ posts and have known Sir Brian O' the green and Sir Edward for a few years now...we're old campaigners...
The site looks great, and no, Red, after several years in the SCA, two live steel groups, several years spent fencing, etc, I don't really have time, as of this, for a formal order. I'm getting to where I barely have time to post here due to my school studies. I probably wouldn't have Ren Faired as hard as I have this season, in armor most days, 2 days back to back, but the employed knights are scarce, and if I didn't, I'd be in divorce court...Lol! (no, I'm NOT kidding)
Hope this clears up for all.....

We'll have to be careful not to come off as elitist, of course, but I don't know if you followed the "creating the order" thread. The whole point is to keep it pretty informal and "flat", and open to all who share our interests. Red is further away, and Sir Gerard is on the other side of the ocean, so it's not a "local only" membership on the roster so far.

As far as I know, it's open to everyone. And also you might want to check Paladin's COA on the roster. The cross potent is gules, not argent.

Yep, we'll need to update it on the new site. Sir James is out of touch for a few days, so we can aim to fix it up next week.

Ah, Ok. Just wanted to make sure Paladin's COA didn't get messed up on our official website!  :o
