Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest Update

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stay-tuned-to-this-channel-for-more-details dept.

A few weeks back I announced that Slashdot was throwing open its design to the readers. An individual will win a Laptop, and hopefully we'll all win a Slashdot design that looks good. My Journal Entries have chronicled dozens of entries since the contest began, commenting on many of them. Today I share with you 3 of my favorites. These aren't necessarily "Finalists" but I think these are some of the strongest entries. First up is Michael Johnson's design, second is Jason Porritt's entry, and third is a design from Peter Lada. The contest will end around the middle of next week. Entries can be sent to redesign at CmdrTaco.net. Read my journal for extensive commentary on the many entries, to see what stuff has been working and what stuff hasn't.

    So far, it looks like the prize for having a good design is a severe slashdotting of your server...

      thats why my choice for the new design is http://slashdot.org/ - it has a nice design which works and a jolly good server

      I agree, but that would violate Slashdot's "sit back, let others do your gruntwork, don't lift a finger to help" approach to website maintenance.

    Great job, Slashdot manages to slashdot three slashdots in one go!

      How many slashes would a slashdot dot if a slashdot could slash dots?

      A slashdot would slash all the dots a slashdot could slash if a slashdot could slash dots.

      Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
  3. I vote for number 3 by mgabrys_sf · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since it's the only one that didn't meltdown in seconds after being posted. If you're going to make a slashdot site - might as well be slashdot proof.

    You haven't seen crapping out until you've seen it in the latest Opera 9 beta build: psychedelic!

    Not only that, but the bars multiply every second so you have to close it quickly! And it also starts consuming monster CPU time.
