Also, in a week or so, we will be holding a contest to redesign CreateBlog's look, since many mentioned that CB3 looks rather cold. The contest will be held for around a month, and the winning designer will recieve a free iPod nano or the new Motorola Slvr. More details to come later, but for those who want a headstart, the layout must be compatible with resolutions 800x600 and above. If you know friends who are talented in web designing, let them know! =)

What do you think cB should change?
I think its should be aligned in the center.

I agree with Ranniel. But what are we gonna change? Only the front page or what? 'Cause I'd like to enter.

Hiya mike! For more details.. click here!

I want it to be centered, too. I'm guessing the whole site is gonna be changed? I'm not sure.

i wouldnt say its v4 yet. maybe 3.1 =p

some more info on this contest. the submitted layout must have four sections: home page, layout browse page, script browse page, and a download page. (all other pages are derivatives of these pages.) must include all the features already present. may include things you see in the "download" page but currently not in the "browse" page. for example, you may include the view + fav count. for hte home page, may want to include something where the community competes to get theirs to display. for example, for cb2, it was the banner. it doesnt neccessarily have to be a banner.

ill make the official post in a couple of days. in teh mean time, join the freakin' topsite! =p

Well, can people give the layouts separately? Pretend if I do a layout for the homepage and other people who are good in webdesigning do the rest based on that layout, would that be okay?

Do you mean you just do that page, and other people do the other pages?

Yeah. But never mind about that. I think I can do it since I don't have to make a layout for the actual forum itself. Or do I?

Also, if I do a layout for cB, does it have to be coded with tables? 'Cause I can make everything aligned in all browsers using div's.

Eh, I think that would be good and bad. It would add a little variety, but I don't know. I prefer the same layout. *shrug*

EDIT//
Never mind.

Customizable skins!!!

*runs away*

I've sort of got use to the links being underlined, but I don't know.
What do you think? Underlined links stay or go?

Hover links!

EDIT//
Wait, my post didn't make sense. I meant underline on hover links and no underline on regular.

I'd like underlined links to stay. I'm more accustomed to them. And I sometimes get confused when people put links on their posts and they don't have underlines on 'em. So yeah. Underlined links should stay, IMO.

div layouts are okay. underline links are okay. hover links are okay. everythings okay. cb3 codebase is separate from the design, so implementing the new design should be easy.

you dont have to redesign the forums.

i thought this home page was really snazzy.

may better navigation system, but we could have members submit that big image. how nice. =)

oo

*gets curious*

id...like to help. if i can.

Oh, that is nice. Me likes, me likes.

What about a...team of people...
Cause I know I'm much more proficient in the actual designing and not so much in coding...but some people are like, ubercoders and not so hot in designing...

^Doesn't CB have a design staff? Why not ask them to collaborate?

I agree with Sammi, I don't think just the design staff should do it, this should be a community effort --I mean more than just the mods, some official designers and official members would do go.

^That's what my question meant.

Let us see who sticks the layouts in their favs.

Btw, its a layout for cB, not a layout being submitted to cB. so how you going to add it on your favorites?

^He meant it as a feature in the layout people are gonna make for cB.

oh um sry.
I'm loving that orange!

Jusun, would you want the frontpage coded? I don't think I'm going to do this... but I was just wondering.

^I think he does.

i think I'll try doing one of the pages. the home page is going to be a competition, because thats the page that first comes up when you go to createblog.com. Rachael is doing that? I'll try doing it also maybe.
