Phew! The SUAS contest is over. Well, mostly over. Just the final judging is left, but I'm not exactly waiting with baited breath for the results. I made it to the top 10 once, for a LO that I don't think should have been picked. It wasn't exactly standing up for anything, it was a fluff piece - but they liked it. I would have much rather have been singled out over a layout with some substance to it - but apparently people like ordering take-out as much as I do.
During the downtime between challenges, I went roaming for other challenges on blogs, forums, etc. just to keep the flow going until I could begin on the next round of SUAS - I tend to do these after the deadline for them though. I don't do it for a prize, or comments -- which I really don't like getting BTW - good or bad. (I mean the opinion of someone I don't know, whom I didn't solicit means close to zilch to me.)
Christina Renee had one in the DST forum about 10 Things from High School. I figured that would be a fun one to do. Interestingly, I spent more time on this than my Round 6 SUAS layout. I'm pretty happy with it too, which is rare. The crappy thing is when you reduce to fit the 150 kb allowance for the forum galleries, the red bleeds, and it looks like shit. So here it is here.
