This is an entry, although it's not as pretty. Basically I'm showing it to give other people ideas and show a coule of things. First, you see that it has drop downs up top. Drop downs are great for navigation if you need to save real-estate on the page. And the other thing, the main thing, is you can see how easy it is to swap styles on the page by choosing your style from the drop down on the left, another cool thing if we want to allow people to choose a style they like, and it can even be saved in a cookie and remembered for later if need be (although I didn't do that here). Plus the news is in a scrollable div, so it avoids the nasty frames and such.
Basically I was trying for a simple and compact design.

Needs a few more br's and maybe another menu, but I like the basic idea and would encourage people to follow Mullets comments:P
There are ways to use JS without completely crapping up a site, but I don't think it's easy, and possibly not worth the trouble / risk. If you want to do Javascript dropdown somethings-or-other though, I recommend http://www.destroydrop.com/javascripts/tree/ . And if you put a non-JS version in some NOSCRIPT tags, it will work fine in non-JS browsers too.
I HATE IE
What? Don't look at me like that! Blame Shlup mentioning this in her LJ; 'tis the only reason I knew about it XD
Anyway, I hate IE. I spent ages coding this and it looks so <3ly in Firefox, but in IE... *shudders* It's just horrible, absolutely horrible. Of course, if someone nice were to fix it up for me I'd be greatful, though Seaniepants can do that himself I figure if he really likes it XD God knows I need sleep now, so ta- ra, and I'll probably never be back again. (How many times have we heard that before? XD)
You'll be back to answer my question.![]()
Those underlined links burn out my eyes. Could you fix that? And maybe round out the bottom of the table with another image, like you did on top. The rest looks good.![]()
Has a lot of potential. Clean it up and you could be in good shape. 95% of people use IE.Originally Posted by Spatvark
I think whoever gets there's picked should not accept the money and instead put the money towards paying for the website. That would make the person more noble and more respectable.
Here is a submission that I received through email:

Have you lookedat that one yet? It looks like the entire site is squashed into the scrollable frame at the left. Something's not right.Originally Posted by Cid
Also, I updated my submission to look more "legit": http://www.geocities.com/chadmonkey/.../newlook1.html
Or you could give it to me to help pay my rent. That would be even more noble.Originally Posted by White Raven
SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
I figured out what it is, it doesn't run in Mozilla.
Instead of taking up the whole screen, pretty much everything onthat page tries to squeeze into the news frame.
Also, there are a lot of big images on that page that are a quarter to a third of a meg, so that the entire page is almost 1 meg when uploaded, not too friendly for even high speed internet.
