Official European Championship Microsite for the German Handball Federation

Hi there,

http://dhbblog.zendezentrale.com

Ok - had about 3 days for layout and implementation... so some details could need a closer view... especially some layout-finetuning and a complete css-recode vor validation-purposes. But for the moment - it works fine for me

Utilizes:
- Chunks for variable mp3-player / podcast
- EasyPeasyGallery2
- Newslist
- 2 sleepless nights

Thats all I think...

Best regards,
Karsten

Wow! Great looking site. Love the implementation and the turnaround is really impressive. Now, for those of us that know more about trying to ride angry wild bulls than handball, can you explain the sport or provide a link? Thanks and great stuff!

Is it soccer? Hemm we don’t use hand to play soccer anyway, lol
I think it’s some kind of volley ball isn’t it?

Note: The costume looks like german football team though. (FYI, I used to be a huge fan of european soccer)

Thanks! All due to your great system which leaves more time to spend on the site itself than on backend-workaround-issues and stuff like that

Wild angry bulls sound thrilling either But in fact handball is one of the hardest indoor sport I´ve ever had the possibility to see... Actually it´s more like a mixture of basketball and soccer - with fast counter attacks but often a little strategic delay in front of the goal...

I´ve looked for something explaining but only came up with this link - probably it will help to visualize the game a little: http://karsten-hoffmann.com/forenfragen/handball.html

Yes - they look quite official It´s because in (mainly mid- and northern) Germany, handball is quite famous... If you take the German Handball Federation has 800.000 Members... thats more than a niche but - for sure - far away from soccer numbers here... and presumably a by far smaller number than any pro-sports in the us

Thanks a lot for the feedback you both! This is a great way to start my day today

Best regards,
Karsten

Love it!

Love it!

Thanks... ...a lot

Would love to meet someone who could teach me how to optimize the css... make it totally valid... i had to use some hacks and I think some definitions which weren´t really necessary...

Nice Karsten, I like the zenCast tie in. I have a zencast player, the muvo TX FM.
Maybe I could do some coverage of sporting event’s, on my club site for disc golf, frisbee golf.
You knocked that site together in three days, wow!
