Well, we didn't quite make it to 1,000 watchers yet, but that's okay! Here's an inspiring NaNoWriMo layout! (Unless you want to fill it up with other stuff.) The basic premise for this is to go through and put in your own pictures for inspiration. You can see a mock up of mine here as an example.

( info and codes )

You may have noticed (or maybe not) that we are at 908 watches currently! If we can bring that number up to 1,000 in the next week (that is, by the 31st), I will open a request post and make three public layouts on request. I am not sure yet if I'll have it be a comment request (i.e. first three commenters) or a poll. Let me know if you guys have an preferences!

Let's see if we can get 1,000 watchers this week!

Congrats to our winner, sun_star_n_moon! Banners and names are under the cut. The layout should be up in the next week or so!

( winners! )

Here is the poll for the Header Contest!

Voting will run for one week, until Midnight PM PST Wednesday, July 8th, when winners will be announced. Votes placed after the deadline will not be counted.

Please vote for THREE (3) headers. Don't vote for your own. Also, please note that the numbers are above each set.

Click the thumbnails to enlarge each header to the full size graphic. Please, please, please enlarge the entries if you are going to vote -- so many of these are even more beautiful when they are big! Everyone worked so hard and it's only fair to do them justice.

Here's a little remind about the header contest! You have until this Wednesday to enter! :)

I have been wanting to do one of these for a while. So here is the very first header contest, hosted by yours truly.

The basic way it works:

1. You make me up to 2 headers
2. People vote on the headers
3. The winner gets a layout made around their header

( Read the detailed rules before you enter! )

The deadline is WEDNESDAY, JULY 1ST at around 8:00 PM EST. This is a short contest, so get your entries in soon!

Can't wait to see what you guys put out!

I've started experimenting with textures, and with that comes the duty to credit. All hail the mighty forces that make our graphics lovely!

By popular request, I'm attempting to learn how to code Smooth Sailing. More will be coming soon! (And I took the picture in this layout. I love Germany...)
