Netscape Halloween Avatars Awards Contest Winners


This page is in no way affiliated with NS and does not reflect.......aw screw it you know what I mean.

What is a Netscape Avatar?


     It is the little image that accompanies your profile across Netscape. Like when you post a story or comment it is placed next to your name. It does not matter the format or size you upload because it will be scaled to Size 33x 45 converted to png format after you upload. So that nice 2200x2200 pixel image you spent hours perfecting will be made smaller and possibly turn out like a black dot. If you change your avatar expect for it to take at least 30 minutes to propagate across Netscape. For this contest we need to have the avatars up by at least the 25th. That will allow us the time to tally the votes and build the page to announce the winners.

How did we vote?


     1. Post in the comments area of the post to this article; try to use the threaded post features if you like one that is in there already.
2. You sent OkiTech a message with your avatar or a link to the profile of one you liked.
3. For those folks with my e-mail address you sent me an e-mail if you'd like.
(Don't ask for a Pocket-T from Netscape; Jason is stingy with those.)

Get creative and make a cool avatar.


     If you find one that strikes you leave OkiTech a message. If your not added as a friend just add me and I will be quick to add back. Any other comments or questions are greatly appreciated. We will have another next month and special for X-mas/Newyears.

We know this won't please everyone and we are bound to have missed someone. We thank everyone that sent us their votes. We really needed more than 2 votes on an avatar to have even been considered.
        thanks for the fun okitech. hope you all enjoy

Next I will start on:

     -How to break a 1000 in 2 months. You could do it much faster.
     -Tools to speed Contributing fast and tools to scoop the latest stories. No I don't use Yahoo's news site and watch the stories pop in.
     -Learn to use Spelling and grammar checker
     -Purchase a PC (mine is currently a 486 dx4). Anyone willing to help out? I'd like a laptop.
