Hi there, I would be the guy working on denimcontest.com ... thanks for all the compliments/flaming (didn't actually read through everything, but whatever).
Though I would clear some stuff up ... the site's not by any-means finished but let me address what going and will be going on anyway.
Q: OMG denime tags, what's up with that?
A:Sorry bout the denime tag, but I had to work with what I had (how many of you have like 50 pairs of samurai jeans laying around?) I will photoshop some samurai tags in later (it doesn't seem like the most pressing issue)
Q: WTF I can't see anything/looks like shit with browser X for X?
A:Browser compliance ... okay this is the big one, yes I know, I know, there's no support for IE and Opera.
Right now I'm getting shit online, once everything is styled + running I will work on compliance (see my timetables lower down). For now I will try and make sure everything is okay for Firefox and Safari (on mac, but there isn't be much difference between the PC/mac Firefox render engine so Firefox on PC should be fine). Oh and btw opera is actually pretty much fine except for the fact that I'm using the onload property which seems to not fire properly under opera, suck it opera.
Q: It's too cluttered/Impossible to find understand what's going on in this interface, fix it!
A: Well I did realize when I made this that it was somewhat not totally obvious where thing where, but fear not... see that search button that does nothing, yeah that one, once I get around to making it work (see time table again) not only will you be able to search blogs posts, you will also be able to view a list of the blogs by order of latest post/username/jeans number/other random info, so that should stop your whining.
Q: Feature X doesn't work fix it !!!!!
A: Ok FIRST, try and not run around telling me things don't work till I'm finished (see timetable to know when, have I said that before?) but if you do report something as not working try and explain in DETAIL what's not working and MAKE SURE you include what BROWSER (including the VERSION number) and what OPERATING SYSTEM, if you don't I'll just ignore you ... (Sorry for liberal use of caps)
Q: When I go to signup how do I know you're not just gonna use the password I submit to h4X0r me? (answering this before someone asks)
A: Well if you're really paranoid, you may never know, but I can at the least assure you (all it depends on is whether you believe what I say) that when you submit it, like with any blog/forum software, it gets hashed and is never stored unhashed, so I can't read it and neither could any hacker who got a hold of all the info on the site, so you're safe (hashing is irreversible for those of you who didn't know).
Now for the "timetable". I plan to finish styling the blog part and installing/setting up the blogging software by late today or early tomorrow (saturday). I also plan to get the "news" page up by then where I will blog all changes/updates I make to the site. By that time someone should have sent me a list of all the participants, and I will send you all signup e-mails, so you can grab your accounts up and start blogging. Once that is done I will go find me a PC *shudder* and work out all the kinks in IE/Opera support (I plan to support Safari/Firefox/IE 5.5/IE 6/IE 7/Opera), which should be done by sunday or monday. After that I will get the search function up, that might take a few day, but I'll see when I get there, it's too far away for me to say exactly.
So wait till monday before you start reporting problems, after that you may insult my handiwork as much as you like.
If anyone want to get ahold of me or send me report of problems, you can e-mail me at admin at denimcontest dot com (I'm using that address so I can contain the e-mails about this in one place)
