Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
“Brian, you should know by now that I don’t do color :D.
Have you ever seen me design anything with more than slight tints of grey?
Just as a side note….I HATE INTERNET EXPLORER!!!”
I know. I kind of like it. Its something of a style of yours. I think color is over used at times.
For instance: http://www.deportmaria.org/wp/
Prior to this design it looked like: http://www.designshack.co.uk/deportmania.html
I realize some people like this type of wild design, but I’m not one of them.
And I HATE INTERNET EXPLORER TOO!!

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I’m very excited about the contest too.
ma_smith: Yes, also, the individual content pages will have the sponsors on the bottom, so the colors of the sponsors’ logos will be replaced by the template screenshot. So that should keep the focus on the templates.
hcgtv: The first prize is a lottery ticket, so it isn’t guaranteed… :D
Nichod: Thanks. Let’s not call it a “style” though…it’s more of a limitation :D
When I finished coding the layout (checking it in Firefox), I opened it up in IE and was shocked. I’ve seen IE mess up some things in the past, but this was ridiculous. I ended up having to throw in some extra <code>div</code>‘s to get it to work.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Thame, did you get some news on the rules ? Plugins allowed or not, this kind of things.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
Plugins will be allowed. This is a full template competition, so I don’t want to restrict anyone at all. The only requirement is thorough documentation for the installation of the templates.
Just as an update, the domain Textplates.com has been bought, and I have attached the template to Textpattern. Hopefully, things should be up and running very soon as I finalize deals with our sponsors.
Unfortunately, I have not received any word yet from Dean, but I am going to go ahead with the competition anyway.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
The competition is still on, but I am having a little trouble getting back in touch with sponsors who were previously willing to help.
I still have a number of great sponsors and a fantastic 1st place prize, but I was wondering if I could get a little help. I’m absolutely swamped with freelance work and need a partner for the competition.
Again, the competition is still on for January 4th (Oh god, two days!), but I would like to keep getting sponsors as we go.
If you might be interested, contact me at tomfadial@gmail.com or AIM tomfadial. I need someone who is willing to call up possible sponsors and ask for contributions.
Thanks in advance.
Note: You will still be allowed to enter…I will make sure of that.

Re: Textpattern Theme Competition
OK, I only got one e-mail which was very helpful but was not enough. I will be delaying the contest until January 9th so that I can have some more time to work on things.
