CSS Design Challenge Update

[Femi TAIWO]

Hi everyone,

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the CSS Design Challenge. We have seen some really awesome entries. Big thanks to all contestants who have sent theirs in.

We are extending the deadline by two weeks -the new closing date is November 14.

We got a LOT of feedback today so we are doing this for four reasons -

1. Upload Problem - Server Timeouts

We also got a number of complaints - some people have had problems uploading their designs.

We found out that this problem usually happens when due to slow internet and/or big file size the design takes longer than one minute to upload. We are creating a workaround right now.

2. Upload Problem - incorrect folder structure

The correct folder structure is

/assets

/assets/styles.css

/assets/img

/assets/fonts

/assets/css

The upload bit searches for the presence of a styles.css in the assets folder. The assets folder should be in the root of the zip file. Directly.

3. CSS Attribute problem

We got a complaint  that it would be a lot easier if we assigned an attribute to the body tag for the different pages - one for the homepage body tag and another for the single-post page. We are adding this and updating the boilerplate design. If you have already submitted your design, this would not affect you in anyway.

4. More Entries?

We've got some good to awesome entries but we can always do with more :)

So, in summary, we are extending the contest by two weeks - and the contest will close for submissions November 14 at 11:59PM.

If you have questions, just hit reply!

Thanks! 

Regards,
