New Layout and Style

As you can see I've made some major changes, organized the navigation, and made the site more mobile-responsive.
  • Larger buttons on upload/creation forms.
  • New footer with more content on the way.
  • Fixed some issues with header navigation.
  • We've gone green! (because that's a thing, right?)

Time to get real: Special Abilities gain Italics format

Lots of people have been asking for this one, so I'm happy to announce its here. You can now add italics text to your custom effects (types like Morbid, Extort, and Bloodrush).

Here's how:

Add a Passive Ability to your card, use (effect text here) tags for the italics text.
Then just preview the card to make sure it looks how you want:
Deathpeek

Also added:

  • DISQUS comments to artist galleries, let them know!
  • Working on further DISQUS comment integration.

Props this weekend go out to authors NJG and MPS17 both for adding some amazing looking cards over the last week. The card-fu is strong with these two.

Minor updates, bumps and bruises

A few weekend updates for everyone:
  • Update to the Card saving process so it won't die saving certain titles.
  • Title and subtitle text will now shrink (within reason) on longer titles/mana costs.
  • Fixed an early bug with Planeswalkers that wouldn't allow certain types of images.
  • Minor increase to image upload size.

Have a good one!
