Here's a free suggestion. You don't even have to give me a prize. You know those random words which are underlined on that page, and when you mouse over them, you get the random advertisement on a completely unrelated subject, which also emits a *sound* on my computer? Get rid of them completely. They are beyond annoying. I get that you need to make money with this site, but those obnoxious ads are the exact opposite wrong way to do it. Also, while I wouldn't have expressed it quite as crassly as Robert, I have to agree on his evaluation of the site's look. I have a logon on your site and have been to it many times. I just figured you liked it like that. But in truth, it needs a serious and complete makeover. But like Robert, I have no end of things to take care of, quite outside of redisigning phpclasses.net. I'd suggest you scrap the contest and go find a good free CSS template. But that's just me. And just for the record, I'm really not ragging on you. PHPClasses.net is the only site of its kind I know of. There is an endless variety of code for almost anything you could want to do in PHP. That's why I maintain a login there. Paul -- Paul M.
