Contest: What should we name the IPX blog?

Fuzz's picture

Some sites have cool names for their blogs. Ours is just called “blog” right now and accessed via /blog.

So do we just keep it as Blog, or do we want to come up with something sounds cool and promotes IPX?

There’s something to be said for keeping it at /blog. Simple, effective… There’s also a case for catchy names too…

An example:

Company: lullabot
Blog name: lullablog

The only thing I can think of is perhaps ipxblog… kinda sucks though.

Thoughts, suggestions?

The prize for the best suggestion (even if we keep using /blog) is 25 Svalbards, and a dinosaur*. It was going to be 50 Svalbards but the conversion rate has dropped slightly.

*Dinosaur bones sold separately.

Svalblog eh… not bad at all.

Get your entries in before it’s too late. Once the blog is named, that’ll be it.

Entries close on 15th July at midday. The judges decision is final.

Boring Entry Here

The only thing I can think of is IPXNet. Doesn’t have to have blog in it, that word already grates on my nerves!

Ashi's nerves

he he
Ashi i struggle to find stuff that doesnt grate your nerves!

I’m surprised I’m still alive!

what do we reckon about the

what do we reckon about the change in where the user pictures appear on comments. (They’re to the left now, rather than above like they are on blog entries and stuff).

Still got a bit of tweaking to go but getting there. Theming is hard when you refuse to write any code.

What do i reckon?

asking Shad for his opinion…. BAD IDEA

hehehe
anyway, yeah i like it!
and i DO prefer it on the left…. HOWEVER I HATE how the damn text overlaps!
if we can fix that, its a keeper!

get on it boys… HEHEHE

i feel so bad commenting and not being able to have any quality time to do any work! Bloody kids
(on another note… how do i get similes or bold/italics and stuff? is it just the same as when making a page… code it in?)

Text overlap

nah thats the kinda opinion i’m looking for. I dunno whether i can fix this stuff cos its all done in css and I havent worked much in it b4 (don’t really want to either heh – damn coding) but I’ll give it a go.

Ok so text overlapping – not sure what you mean. Can you be more specific?

Also I want to get the text to move further to the left so there’s not as much of a gap – think i know how to do that one.

How to get bold italics etc – same as creating pages yep – use textile.

So bold, strike thru, underline etc. Just using the simple textile input format – the more used to that you get the easier all the site stuff will be.

Smilies… stop being a pu$$y!

Results for contest

And the results are in.

Good entries – we didn’t exactly agree though. So here’s my comments on the entries.

Name Entry Comment
Fuzz IPXblog Bland, boring. Not good enough Fuzz, I expected better from you
Sha8doW Xblog Not bad. What’s this about Missy Elliot?
Kazozza Svalblog I like it. Anything to do with Svalbard is cool.
Kazashi IPXnet Not bad. Only issue I see is it doesn’t differentiate itself from the news content type. Which is kinda why blog works – an accepted term that is understood as to what it is.

So the winner is….

no-one. I can’t be stuffed figuring out how to redo the urls even if we do change the name. So no change for now.

And the Svalbards go to everyone who entered.

Shad, Kazashi and Kazashi – 25 Svalbards each.
