Post 'em here! Is anyone other than Andy and I entering? If there are enough entries we'll have a vote to decide the winner. If not, we'll hold the prizes for the next contest (if you don't mind, Andy!)

I really don't think I'm goign to have time myself this time, but I really enjoyed the last one and can't wait to see what people come up with this time!
I've been really busy....I'm an old lady chasing a 2 1/2 year old all day, five days a week. Man am I tired at the end of the day.

I've done mine! (does not work in IE... mostly because I can't be bothered to troubleshoot it at the mo!)
I actually found it really interesting to play with some other colours for a change... most sites that I do are business related so I get stuck with using boring business colours. It was an interesting challenge to work with pink!

I decided to do mine as a CSS Zen Garden design, just for fun. Trying to live up to that standard was a good extra challenge that I really enjoyed. I did submit my entry but I'm still waiting to hear back from Dave Shea. I think it's probably borderline for the official section, but even the rejected entries area is good exposure
Here it is!

That's a nice design Megan... kinda Moulin Rouge-esque
How do you make the content scroll and the sides stay still like that??.... hang on guess this is the wrong thread for that. I've posted a new topic here

Well, I did something in an hour (wasted my leisure hour again, too tempting) to add up some fuel to this valentines fire... Anyways, it's a work in progress, although it's already ready for viewing...
Remember the first contest we had with that color thing? It gave me the idea for a site topic which is about colours... Now I used the same thing I coded, and updated the css and graphic elements for this valentine themeing activity.
Anyways visit it at "www.blogaholik.com" the default theme is from the 1st contest, click the style sheet for the valentines themeing and that would be my entry. (Used the zen garden Stylesheet Switcher)....
I'll appreciate some feedback... Wheeee!!!

I really like the colour combination and the header looks really slick. Looks like the kind of sign you'd see above the door to a high class titty bar (can i say that?). I mean it in a good way though
My only quibble is the corners for each post could do with rounding off. The sharp edges make them look a little out of place after the fancy title font and tabs which are rounded at the top. Just my two cents

I concur, i was going back and forth of doing it square or round. Now I decided it should be rounded... thanks for the feedback...

Looking good. It's nice to help instead of be helped for a change

That looks cute, demonhale!
Andy - I like how you added in the pale blue. Good work
Roo - I'm glad you like it! I worked really hard on it. Liam says it should make the Zen Garden but I'm not so sure.
