As well as the 9622.net site design has served us, many of us agree that it's time for a change.
To that end, unless there are howls of objection, I hereby announce the 9622.net Monkey-See Monkey-Do Monkey-Redesign-A-Website Contest
Here's how it will work:
1. The contest is open to all primates.
2. Judging will be conducted via online poll, and the identities of the designers will be kept anonymous.
3. I will contribute a $25 Amazon gift certificate to the winner. (Other incentive donations are welcome.)
I'm thinking a 12/10 deadline for submission, with judging to begin 12/12 and end 12/16. That way we can get it in place for January 1. New year, new beginning, and all that. But deadlines are up for discussion.
RULES
-----
1. Initial designs need not be coded in HTML--a "picture" of the design done in Photoshop, etc, is enough to vote on. But...
2. ...the winner must do the HTML coding her/himself before launch.
3. The design must be compatible with MovableType 3.x.
4. All artwork must be the designer's own original work, or royalty free.
5. To enter, send me a link to the design (blogflicker AT-SYMBOL gmail).
DON'T ANNOUNCE ITS LOCATION HERE. In the interest of fairness, I think we really need to keep these anonymous until the winner is announced.
Any questions, thoughts or suggestions?
We're off to spend Thanksgiving with the Brits.
What're y'all doin' fer the holiday?
But for some reason, it's not publishing comments until they're "approved". I'm working on it.
UPDATE OK. The problem was remainders from the old mt-blacklist application. All set now. Let me know in this thread if you encounter any problems. (Or, if you can't post a comment, email me at blogflicker AT gmail.)
Even in a hospital bed, I'm thinking of the monkeys Special thanks to lilboo for her photgraphic freindship.
