    vBSEO Readme Design Competition!

    vBSEO Readme Design Competition!
    Want to win a Free vBSEO Licence and have your improved Readme as the vBSEO 3.0.0 Gold Readme file? Read on...

    Competition Requirements:
    • Redesign the current vBSEO Readme file. (attached below)
    Hints:
    • Think simple; look at vBSEO.com's design for example. If it takes you over an hour to create, you are probably putting too much thought into it.
    • We love light designs.
    • We love CSS.
    • We love Valid Strict XHTML (test your style here).
    • We love to be able to edit this file easily via Dreamweaver!! (sometimes, a CSS masterpiece can be a nightmare to edit using WYSIWYG editors).
    Prizes:
    • Winner receives:
      • 1 Year vBSEO Software Licence
      • Their Readme included in the release package of vBSEO 3.0.0 Gold
    • Runners-up get a bump in affiliate commission by 5% for the next 3 months (so all entries win!!)
    How is Winner chosen?
    • The Winner will be selected through an internal poll by selected members of the vBSEO Team.
    • All submissions are to be posted in this thread, in a .zip package.
    • vBSEO reserves the right to edit/alter or change the Readme prior to release.
    What are you waiting for? Get designing!!!

    Will the winner be expected to produce a .txt readme version too?
    For those wanting an ultra light-weight experience?

    I am not sure if where are actually supposed to be creating just the web template for the readme file, or the actual corresponding content too. If the latter isnt the case then i think that all members regardless of their customer status should be eligble for entry.

    Yes sure, it's open to everyone
    I am not sure if where are actually supposed to be creating just the web template for the readme file, or the actual corresponding content too.
    Yes, everything, basically re-creating the readme.html file with all it's content.
    Will the winner be expected to produce a .txt readme version too?
    Not really but wouldn't hurt either

    So we are giving it a face lift? You want something that looks different but the content is the same? Also when is the end date?

    Here's mine

    Note: The source can be cleaned up. For example, the class 'part' can become <p>, 'parttitle' can become a simple <h2>, the class 'code' can become a simple <code> etc. Will do this if I win
