I just spend an hour or two going hog-wild making new template icons because the poor HTML-resizing of the cactus sprite was kind of bothering me. So now nearly all those sorts of templates have their own little cactus icon variant, and I've done little adjustments as needed.

I do, however, have some questions:
1.) What the heck should I do with the Sucks template? I understand it was originally intended as a joke template by XK and BMF, but it's grown a bit of charm to be honest. I've currently just given it a cropped version of the original graphic since it was way larger than all the other templates, but feel free to revert that if you want the full TAKATAKA glory. Should I make a new cactus icon for it, and if so, what should it be?

2.) Similarly, what should I do for the New template? I plan on leaving Stub as it is, because Cacti are stubbly enough on their own.

3.) Sexy CSS Gradients: Yes or No?

Looking forward to feedback!

EDIT: I also Herded together a bunch of game content-related templates ala the cleanup ones for ease of access, and updated the Prototype one to resemble the rest. Please tell me if I'm going too far!

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

I like the old Sucks image, myself. I think we should try to keep it in its original form.

I agree with this- having it larger also makes it more "in your face".

I do like the new Prototype template, though, the older text-only one seemed a little out of place.

Leave it alone.

How about a glossy Web2.0 cactus with a starburst behind it? (considering a lot of Web2.0 sites are vapid and devoid of content, it works both ways )

I'm actually not a fan of the Prototype template, or the "In Development" and "Unreleased Game" or whatever templates. Nagboxes are basically there because something needs to be done with the page; I'm not in favor of what basically amounts to a *permanent* nagbox atop pages. A single "text-only" template works better on those pages.

That said, I like all the different cactus images. Cute.

Personally, I'd perfer little "header" bar in the bob, above the title shot. Nothing fancy, just "PROTOTYPE" in white on red, linking back to the original page. Ditto with "UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT" and "NEVER RELEASED".

Thoughts?

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
