Blogskins Times

Monday, February 13, 2006

Enough about the rouge accounts. Especially Chair707. This site has been talking about them since the beginning. Lets discuss about blogskins.com.

What do we put in our profile pages?

I did a little research. The first one is came upon is these sort:

1)Ghost accounts. Accounts without words for profiles. They have no profile/submitted skins/comment/forums postings. Nothing. A BLANK account.

well i found another one; and it had a red flag. The profile is empty. YET, it has a rate flag.

I was interested so i clicked on it.

Ohh.. someone realli has something against him.

2) Disclaimers. They will put something like; THIS IS HOW I RATE, i don't care if you don't like it.

3)Then we have the very Notorious Tagbox profiles. The tagbox sort of work as a comment system. But the problem is, tagboxes have no control over who can comment and who can't. Which is a good and a bad thing.

Good: You don't need an account in blogskins. Sometimes thay actually give good comments.
Bad: Spamming. Lots of it. People asking for sex. People mascarading others. etc etc.

4) The short and sweet types. These people want to keep it simple. They give you brief description of themselves.

5) The MEGA display pictures type. They practically use a wallpaper and use it as their display pic.

6) "This are the users i admire type". They put tons of user's links (AND never link me).

7) Then there is the ILOVEPINK profiles. Where everything is pink.

8) The MISSING accounts. Self explanatory. He freaking rated my skin. Yet he is missing.

9) The NON multibrowser compaitability type. I don't know what the hell its saying, what about u?

10) Of course. The photoshop savvy ones make a profile using a single picture. Really nice touch, actually. But i pity the 56k modemn users....

11) And we have the "I M LEAVING" type. They are either leaving blogskins.com or not plannin to make skins anymore.

ok la. this one not so bad la..

12) Then we have the "Many many favourites" type. They make so many skins their favourite that it is practically ridculus!

13) Then there is those who submit tons of skins like me and maystar. Talk about many skins.

And i also see people rating low on maystar's skins. Especially the newcomers, here i will be telling you this. Maystar used no fancy equipment. She used a notepad. She wrote her won layouts. And that was many years ago. Of course they dun look very good anymore. Well it was really good then... When she was still making skins..

Remember you drop us a comment!

The ones who spoke:

A word on Josh Hamilton's profile; photobooth did indeed use one of his vectors without his approval (I believe the skin's name was 'daydream'). He, as the creator of the skin, asked her to take it off. In addition, this is the third time that photobooth has been forced to remove, or has had her skin forceably removed, by blogskins.com due to her using someone else's work without their permission.
