Contest idea? Or not for SmartCanucks!

[Rick C]

Ok so I know that Smart Canucks after just a week is a great site! I am enjoying myself immensely and the folks here are great!

The web layout is easy to use...

But it's still lacking a little something! and I do mean LITTLE!

One of the internet functions these days allows us web sites (I have one for my website) is to have a small indentifier icon, this "icon" is a small graphic file called "faveicon.ico" placed in your main web directory when someone logs into your site, they will in place of the E (in IE) or whatever in Firefox and others be replaced with a small icon of your own design!

I propose, or suggest to Smartcanucks that they hold some form of contest for the design of the fav icon!

You don't have TONS to work with if they go for the idea.

16x16 pixels! Yes Pixels!

You can check or even design your graphic online in some places.


http://www.degraeve.com/favicon/ offers a full explanation and even the "how to install" this icon online.

So that was my idea, I have an icon made already ready for submission! LOL

And if Smart canucks doesn't want to hold the contest but is interested in my "faveicon" I will also gladly donate it.

To get an idea of what 16x16 pixels in "size" is, look at the smiley faces, those are ROUGHLY 16x16...

I'm thinking it's best if you contact Boo first before going ahead with something like this.

Um... I think the whole message WAS my attempt to suggest a contest, not implement one! I was tossing out an idea for them to use since it would server them and be a fun way to let our most creative people make something for the forum/website...

Maybe I didn't express that clearly enough, it WAS a suggestion...

Thus the "Contest Ideas?" portion of the title
