I'll have a look at getting a new banner together over the weekend. Got some work next week though so I don't know if I'll get anything done before that.

Anything in the header that gets the message across that we are a road cycling based forum would certainly help.

I think a wise decision by our leader on the new name.
Agree with Rad on the potential styling of the banner. Something clean and minimal, with any colouring being reflected in the rainbow bands style that former champs have on the sleeves of their jerseys. Happy to offer any design critique when ready Steph.

I found this forum while I was searching for some informations before buying my T3, I stay 'cose I found a very friendly enviroment and always sincere suggestions; no flames, arrogant or snob persons around here (very rare in this kind of forums).
I'm an IT consultant and I was a graphic designer, so if you need some suggestions or banners/images/etc. feel free to ask. Sorry for my very bad english... but I'm from the continent ;-)
(a stupid suggestion: maybe a button "donate" could help to buy a first level domain (www.xy.com), etc.? )

As long as we continue with the same simple ethos of getting off our arses as and when we can, for as little or as much as we are able. The friendly advice and banter continues. We can welcome all and sundry into the fold.
I, like quite a few support the original ideology of the site and are grateful to the people who got off their arses in creating it and making it what it is and will be!
Ride on people.

This is aimed primarily at Big Brother : In one of the other threads I had offered a suggestion of a 'strap line' to go with a new title for the forum. Having just read the Decathlon article and thinking about what you typed about the hard work to get the TOC on Google search lists etc I wondered whether a strap line for the banner was more important than ever? I'd initially suggested: B'TWIN Road Bike Owners Club - Home of the Triban But maybe, it would be better to have: B'TWIN Road Bike Owners Club - Formerly the Triban Owners Club That way, articles advertising the forum would not be redundant. Your call.

Paulinblack, good that you care but no point in over thinking it - you'll always find this forum if searching for info on the models etc. , last year is a long time ago in cycling, the peleton moves on fast ! So no need to look backwards now, besides, a few good folks are working hard on new banners etc. behind the scenes and from what I've seen, it's going to be great - watch this space !

Many thanks Paulinblack for your input. As Rads says, the Triban handle still brings up this forum and I imagine it always will considering the url bears the same name. Just a matter of time before the B'TWIN handle will be up there too as a search result. Thanks again mate.

The key to good search engine ranking is new, relevant, keyword rich content. I think we are good, lot's of mentions of B'TWIN and Triban throughout the site.
Do we always write B'TWIN in caps now!
