Some of you may have seen it already, but I have made a new LBP fansite named GrabSwitch. As I have just about finished updating the theme, I thought it was a bout time I made a thread here on LBPC.

Basically, the site is a blog, with frequent updates on LBP, and the LBP community. When LBP2 comes out, two new features will be added, Featured Level & Featured Creator. Also, at some point I'll put up a full DLC Catalogue.

Feedback on visuals and content suggestions will be apreciated!

UPDATE:
Confirmed creator interviews / level reviews set for LBP2.

UPDATE 2:
Confirmed Sackinima videos agreement, and LittleBigPodcast agreement.

UPDATE 3:
New site BG, changed footer to "(C) 2011"

UPDATE 4:
New header, FC#1 will be up soon!		2010-12-23 19:49:00

It is very nice and we need more people to see it!

As of now, my only suggestion would be to make the post dates easier to read. 		2010-12-23 20:39:00

The only thing I would suggest would be to add a black background at the bottom of the bg image, so instead of having a stark black-to-white line at the bottom of the image, you have a subtle black gradient. Apart from that, this website is ridiculously well designed - love the LBP1-compatible logo!

EDIT: Just realised you have a fixed background, so it's only an issue if you're zoomed out too much 		2010-12-23 21:13:00

Way to keep the Christmas spirit with that snowy weather goin' on about your blog!
Website looks pretty well designed might I add; probably will be following up on it.

Job wanted for making LBP2 levels in New Zealand? Time to pack my bags! 		2010-12-23 21:29:00

At first I wasn't sure about the snow. I didn't know whether it made the site too messy or not. Glad you like it 2010-12-23 22:14:00

Sorry for the double post, but the site has had even more theme updates, including Header updates, menu updates, and various other new imagery etc.
I can now announce that there will be featured creator interviews, and level reviews, coming out around the time of LBP2s release.		2010-12-27 04:32:00

That's a nice site!
I have only viewed it in the PS3 browser so far, and I think it might be misrepresenting it in a few places...
Apart from that, the articles are well written and very informative. Good job 		2010-12-29 11:57:00

In LittleBigPlanet 2, the Grab Switch is known as the Grab Sensor. I think.2010-12-29 16:56:00

A very well constructed site. I will visit.

EDIT: Your site has already helped me. How did I miss that Sports trailer? Fun stuff! Gave me goose flesh.		2011-01-06 00:56:00

Very nice and well designed website you have there. Maybe if you add a forum, you could rival LBPC 2011-01-06 08:07:00

I would never try that. I've made forums in the past, and unfortunately don't seem to be very good at maintaining them :s oh well.

Hey. A well organized and clearly laid out site. I just think it needs some character. Lbp-ify it up and stick in that lovely header we see here. Looks good2011-01-13 20:16:00

Good Idea?		2011-01-14 22:30:00
