#173 closed defect (FIXED)

"atom feed" copy should be capitalized

Description

In the contexts where the atom feed link appears, it's nearly always on a page where all the other links are capitalized, which makes "atom feed" stick out like a sore thumb. Let's change it to "Atom feed" -- or, even better, replace it with a little feed icon (with alt text, of course).

There's an icon for feeds:

So we have a feed icon, it looks nice, but I'm not sure where it should go.

Also, I think it appears when there isn't any media yet? Maybe that's a good thing though, because one could use a feed to be notified about future submissions.

Here's a few other things that are bothering me:

  • When a user has just registered, they're sent to their profile, which looks kind of funny because there isn't any media yet nor do they have profile info.
  • If there isn't any media yet, it still shows the "View all of X's media" line.
  • The atom feed placing (whether it's text or an icon) seems odd to me, how about the top right corner of the profile? The feed will contain anything the user submits, so in a way it counts for the whole profile. Therefore putting it at the top of the profile seems fitting to me.

Here's a feed icon I made a while back (screenshot). Its background is lighter than our current background color, but I can fix that in the future. Do you think this would be a good placeholder?

Say we do all that, it could look something like this: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/goblin/testEmptyProfile.png

Thoughts?

oooh, your proposed empty profile screenshot looks great! The design is very welcoming.

That does look great. I think this is beginning to spill into its own bug! But I'm excited about the discussion happening in here.

I think all of this has been fixed and pushed. The things from the screenshot too! Closing.
