Heh. I wasn't terribly impressed by the winners either though. Was expecting like Zen-Garden level (though some of those are pretty awful too), but then again I don't know what the contest's constraints were either. Wish I'd known about it... Would've been fun. Blarg. Congrats on the mention and the free software. Good squishy. PS: Your comment preview still doesn't like paragraphs ;) Try replacing \n\n with </p><p> and then replace remaining \n with <br />. Yeah, it’s not terribly sexy. Heh.

And time is money, only in this case if you spend more time you might get $150 :p. I also think the colours just don't fit together well, the background with the beige (?) and brown, it just seems somewhat out... I don't like the font spacing either, I find it more difficult to read a font like Arial with spacing like this... The valid buttons also didn't do well, they're just to bigger contrast, but I do like how you've made them text not image... Apart from that it's nice, you've really done well to make a text template so dynamic, in the sense of :hovers.

My entry was in the 'text-only' category and was something I whipped up just to have a play. Also, my main aim was to provide a template that made good use of column width control as an example to beginners who are ripping apart templates to see how they tick. You're right though, I should have spent more time on the visual aspect. That’s cool, but how do you expect me to make a design like either of those without using images?
