Can we enter more than one guest entry?

-- Anonymous, June 06, 2000

yeah, since these are things i'm going to be reading, i assume you can enter as often as you like.

i'm going to post the other things anonymously, so there's just the work up there for the voting. all credit will be taken after the contest is over.

All I have to say is that I salute those of you brave enough to try to write a squishy entry. I get nervous just -thinking- about it! Onward brave souls, and good luck!!

Do we have to have a particular topic, or ones we should stay clear of , when doing the entries?

-- Anonymous, June 06, 2000

uh, i would think you could write about whatever you wanted. just know who your audience is (me.)

Can you contribute as many designs as you want?

How do we get the design ideas to you? Mail you the html, or what? Do you want your inbox filled up with pictures, or would you rather we post it all up somewhere for you to come visit?

you can enter as often as you like, but there might come a point where i'm like, "dude. okay."

and you can e-mail them to me. there's a joke here about the size of my inbox, but i'll leave it alone.

Hey Pamie, what length entry are you looking for? (I'm guessing on the shorter side, so you're not stuck reading endless entries for a week solid?)

-- Anonymous, June 07, 2000

aaah that's just what I was going to ask. the length....I usually write about 3-5 paragraphs in my entries. too long?

and also, on entries. should we just write the entry in the email or send an html document? I can upload one if necessary.

I must say that I am rather dismayed to hear of the design portion of this contest. I've never found anything wrong with the design, and when I read Pamie's journal I'd rather see a design by Pamie, not by some random person.

Yeah, me too... I really like your designs Pammie... Nice and simple and cool and cute and easy to read. To be honest, all the other journals i've read are too fussy and busy visually for me. Yours was kind of a breath of fresh air. Having said that, i haven't read too many other journals (3-4 at the most) and you seem to want a change so... Take care, Xenia

Well, I'm not redesigning the entire thing, just the entries. That being said, I haven't received any submissions for it anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much.

In terms of length, it's up to you. Just make a guest Squishy entry. It could be a parody. It could be how you would live your life if you were me for a day, or how I would live your life if i were you for a day. go nuts. I've got some plane rides coming up, so length isn't an issue.

I just wanted to say that I can't agree more with Xenia! I really appreciate how simple but cool the entry designs are.

Thanks Jennie, and thanks Pammie for giving us these awesome opportunities to express ourselves.

Wow. This contest is intimidating. I'm trying, pamie! It's just... not... WORKING!

there are fewer entries than you'd think. go ahead and enter. i'm thinking about extending for another couple of days, just to keep the entries coming in.
