Layout Contest Term IX

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Attention to all of you that are graphically gifted and know your way around LJ's coding and CSS quirks! It's time for this term's main community layout contest! Whee! You know you want to enter, right? I mean, who doesn't want everyone that comes to HiH to see their lovely work?

Here are the requirements:
1. The layout must be in Hufflepuff colours their winning of the House Cup. However, it must not be all about the Badgers, even if they are pretty awesome. It needs to celebrate HiH as a whole, and as long as the primary colors in the design are yellow and black, you can do that however you like.

2. The layout must be easy to read for just about everyone. Basically, this means no forcing the text size, and allowing a decent amount of contrast between text and background colors. (please with the contrast! I can't read light fonts on light backgrounds, it hurts my eyes!)

3. It needs to have a matching icon to use as the HiH Default.

4. You may include any other graphics you wish, but all are optional. Ideas: alternates for the "lj user=" man; designs for blockquotes; a header; background images/patterns; bullet thingies for links; &c!

5. The layout must be based on an S2 layout. It needs to support links on the sidebar for the Houses, Tags, and Page Summary at the very least.

6. Unless you (or someone else?) is willing to donate $5 to make hogwartsishome a paid community for a period of time, the layout must be workable for a free account. (And we're not going to Plus, I really despise the ads.)

7. You need to be able to set it up for us, because I know I don't have the time to tweek things to make them 'just so'. You also need to be open to changes. If we vote for your layout, but the text needs to be darker, or the background darker or whatever.

Any questions? Ask them here and we'll make sure to answer them as quickly as possible. There will be a drop post for them put up in the next few days. Entries must be in by... Weds, Sept 12th.

Points and Knuts: Layouts are a big deal! For participating, you earn 25 points and 10 knuts. Nice, huh?
First place will receive: 75 points and 40 knuts
Second place: 60 points and 30 knuts
Third place: 50 points and 20 knuts

Knut deposits

[diagon-mod.livejournal.com]

August knuts are in your vaults!!!

Hi people. I'm Dee, you new Diagon mod. This is my first time depositing these knuts into your vaults, so check your vaults if I've made any horrendous mistakes. Please applaud Sarah (oh_no_bad_touch) for doing a great job last term, it is definitely a tediously boring job to update the vaults for the whole hih community.

There are a lot of people who have earned knuts but don't have vaults. Please request a vault HERE soon, or forfeit your knuts. You must be a member of hh_diagon to see this entry.

Please check the list even though you have a vault. There may be problems concerning spelling mistakes, or change of usernames.

( List of people with no vaults )

These people have to request a vault by 30 September or forfeit their knuts.

Thanks,
Dee//Hufflepuff

julidearest recently finished the painstaking task of recording every death in the series.  Also recorded is page the character died on, who killed the character and how, and if the death was "mentioned" or not associated with the Harry/Voldemort war. There are, of course, spoilers for Deathly Hallows, so read it at your own risk.

It can be found HERE. Hope you find it useful!
