Hey, Rika24! Welcome to Amassment. :) I'm Todd, one of the mods here. If you need anything or have any questions, feel free to poke me!

I'm actually interested in seeing what people say about menu styles. I guess I mostly use the "condensed" menu style with menu pages on my shrines, but I have used the expanded one as well. I really like the expanded look, but that requires making a layout with two columns, and I rarely get that right. I think it would depend on the webmaster's overall style, as well as what kind of content he or she plans to put on the shrine. I personally like the menu pages for mine, because I like to describe what pages my shrine contains, and I organize them based on their content. For example, for the shrine I'm making now, in the info section, I've divided content up into two groups: "basics" and "in-depth". The basics is spoiler-free and can be read by anyone, while my in-depth content is intended for people who have played the game.

I look forward to seeing more shrines from you! We actually have a popular marathon just about to start. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the one-page shrine, but you should check it out! They can be a lot of fun, and a lot of cool sites come out of that marathon each year. We'd love for you to participate if you want to.
