Template of the Week Contest

Well, I somehow managed not to post for a week and a half... sorry about that...     Wow, my first ever smiley!  Give me a round of applause... =) I like keyboard smileys better =P

Today I had an orthodontist appointment, I taught an hour long origami class at the library to 8-9 year olds.  Then I went to Tae Kwon Do (my sister taught) and then at lunch.  After that I was supposed to sit at the Teen Summer Reading Club desk and wait for people to sign up, instead I taught two more hour long origami classes!  Some of the kids were younger but oh well.  I taught them how to make: sailboats (or yachts), ladybug, rockets, butterflys, drinking cups, and monkey climbs the mountain.  I think they had fun. I, needless to say, am exhausted. lol.  Kids really wear you out.  Some of the teachers and leaders looked a little grumpy and worn out too.

Please be praying for some families in our area, they need it!

Okay, so I have a new contest on my RecycledTemplates blog and I would like you guys to go vote for it.  I only have one vote and the contest ends (at least for this week) on Sunday!

 

Voting for the templates begins TUESDAY JUNE 10, and ends SUNDAY JUNE 15, any votes cast before or after those dates will be omitted!

What happens in this contest?  In this contest several templates compete to become the Template of the Week.  This means that your template gets free publicity, you will get HTML advice from others and bragging rights and a banner if you win.  Winners of the Template of the Week will be entered into the Template of the Month contest.

How do I enter?  Every template that is submitted to Recycled Templates will automatically be considered, you do not have to send them in.  I will choose several templates that I think will do well together and enter them in the contest.  I will PM you if I choose to enter your template. 

What is Recycled Templates?  Recycled Templates is a website where you contribute old templates that you won't use anymore and 'recycle' them for other people to use.

How do I vote?  You can either PM or comment me your vote.  PMing is advised it you have friends in the contest, that way nobody's feelings are hurt.  No anonymous comments will be counted.  If you are going to comment your vote please comment on the template you are voting for (template of the week 1-2-3) NOT on my RecycledTemplates blog!  And... let's say you are PMing me, please tell me the TITLE of the template for instance: template of the week 1-2-3 OR Cool Template by HTMLpro1 (example) instead of 'that cool template by what's-their-face. lol

Is it okay if I tell the contestants what I think of the templates in a comment?  That is perfectly fine, as long as you are nice and don't JUST tell them the things that could be changed, tell them what you like also.

May I tell others about this contest?  Yes!  You may post this post on your blog to let people know.  Please do not just tell your friends to go vote for you.  You might have more friends that vote for you then other contestants do.

What sportsmanship do you require?  I ask that if you win, please don't put anybody else down.  I would like it (but it isn't required) if you went to the other contestants blogs and congratulate them if they win or tell them that it was a good try if they lost.

If I were entered into this contest can I vote for myself?  No.  You may however vote for somebody else who is participating.

Will I be entered multiple times?  You could be.  Right now there's only a few templates that have been contributed to Recycled Templates.  Every time you contribute a template you increase your odds of being entered.  At some point in time I will have entered everybody who has contributed.

What if I don't want to contribute something to Recycled Templates, could I still enter?  At the moment I am only entering templates that have been contributed to Recycled Templates.  My reason for this is: I don't know how many (or few) templates I'll have flooding in and I don't want to forget which ones are for Recycled Templates and which ones are for the Template of the Week contest.  This will make it easier on me, but I might change this after a few weeks.  My other reason for doing this is so that your template will be recognized as a good quality one and more people will use it one their blogs. 

Let's say I have contributed several templates to Recycled Templates but there is a certain one I would like entered in the contest.  Can I ask you to enter it?  Yes!  I'm not saying I'll do it right away but at least I know you would like it to be entered.

How often will this contest be held?  Every Tuesday voting will end for the past three templates and the winner will be announced.  At this time three new templates will be entered.  Every three weeks the past winners of said three weeks will be entered into a Template of the Month contest.  I may stop this contest in the fall because I will be starting school again and I have no idea how busy I will be.  If I do quit in the fall I will start again next summer.

Is there anything else you would like me to know?  Please remember that this is a HTML contest, not a popularity one.  Please don't vote for someone just because you know them.  Please be on your honor system at all times and please remember to have FUN!!!

 Please take a look at the templates and go vote!!!  I've only had two votes so far so I need more!

well i do no for sure that they are Christians--but they, like some other christian artists that are not very conservative may use some mild curse words. I have heard some of their music and non of it has language in it--but i would not be shocked to find that they do on a song or two. hope that helps :)

I like that Ocean thingy by whatch-ma-callit. I like the the scrolling words with the stationary background. The words were easy to read on the background and the picture was Way Cool. I also liked the Dark Plants one by hoodja-say and the Townscape by Whomever...The Black background really accented the word area in both Templates and made the words really stand out. The Townscape was a beautiful picture and the thin flower border was cool on the Dark Plant one...

Ooh! You teach origami?? I know origami, have a big book about it, but haven't done it for a while because I ran out of paper and haven't felt like getting anymore. xD I'm going to have to get some more sometime though because I liked it so much when I did it.

Hey!

Yeah, Reese's in a milkshake is yummiful. :-)

The City of Ember sequels are good. Well, The People of Sparks is. I started reading The Prophet of Yonwood, and I never got past chapter 3. It was written... differently. I just didn't really care for it. And there were one or two mentions of God, basically saying, "If I was God, things would be different", or something like that. I didn't care for that either.

Hugs,
Becca

My instructor holds a test at the end of every month, and you get to choose when you're ready to test. Except when he tells you, "Faith, you're testing this month," in which case you don't really have a choice. Our tests are on Thursday evenings, unless they are on Saturday mornings. My family eats @ like, 4, and the tests aren't until 7:30, so I really don't have a problem with that (unless I'm too nervous to eat). My last test was 2 hours long, but he was rushing us through it. They normally last until like 10 or 11. This is my last month in karate (mom says it's too expensive) so if I don't pass...
Anyway, I'm trying to get a contest for The Society up and running, so spread the word!

P.S. WOW this is a long comment!!
