BLUF website credits
BLUF's website is not solely the work of one person. Though the main PHP, JavaScript and Smarty coding was done by Nigel Whitfield (3), credit is also due to some other people and organisations, including HKgam (27) for assistance with CSS. Apologies to anyone who has been inadvertently missed from this list.
BLUF's new 2010 logo
The new BLUF logo, launched in December 2010, was designed by Eliot (92), of Digital Deluxe, who also created new CSS to accompany the matching design refresh of the site. The logo is copyright © BLUF, 2010 and may not be used without the permission of the webmaster.
Database design
The database structure was originally designed by former member Michael (Leatherdog), and used with some modifications for the current version of the site.
Icons
Many of the icons used on the site are designed by Mark James, and can be found in the Silk and Flags sets on his site. The Share icon used on some pages is from the Share Icon Project.
