FortKnox's Journal: Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest

(When I post this, it was still in the Mysterious Future, so give it time and it'll pop up eventually).
So, Taco has made the site redesign a contest. Winner takes a top of the line iBook or Alienware laptop? Sheeee-it! I think I may even jump in (even though I'm not a designer by any means).

yup same here

I'm not a very good designer but since the basic frame is still there, and I jsut have to tweak some css?? hrmm I think I'll throw my hat in there too.

The last time they changed the CSS templates...

...I recall someone saying in a certain JE [slashdot.org] that "you can't polish a turd". ;-)

Followed by:
Hopefully people will come up with better css and make it available so slashdot can look really pretty ...

Trust me, I know its just polishing a turd, but I make my living polishing turds, and if I can get a free $4.5k laptop outta it, I'll throw a few hours into it.

Oh, I don't argue that point at all. But I have to take my opportunities to harass when they come up. I know just enough about CSS that I'd be silly not to donate some time as well.

I'm entering too!

I'm thinking bright pink and ponies...

OMG PONIES!!!!!!!

Me too. It simply can't get any better than Pinkdot.

And here I was thinking that there was nothing I could do to one up the OMG ponies design ;)

Ironic isn't it that the move to CSS wasn't in any way shape or form meant to reduce the overhead of loading slashdot in terms of bandwidth, but rather to give away a laptop for a site redesign. crazy.
