# For example, we could have an award for using a certain font.
Try and get people to convert their entire page to Century Gothic in order to win.

# I'm also thinking we should have two separate blogs -
The one we have, where we can post all of our successes, any hate mail we get etc, and another more official looking blog that we can link people back to so that we look more authentic.

# See
I thought exactly that too. That's what I meant yesterday when I said I wasn't sure about the tone... what I was really trying to say was, I didn't know who it should be aimed at, people in on the joke, or the targets potential award recipients.

# doc d and i gazzed each other last night.
i have an unused domain that needs some content - not a name that is useful for this project but if it can be of use (even for email or pic hosting), i'll offer it.

# Sweet
I'm going to be putting a domain/host together soon solely for storing and serving up my images, because my bandwidth is regularly getting caned and costing me money, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. So, I reckon some image hosting for the gifs might be really useful. Definitely something to bear in mind :)

# I have bandwidth to burn, but I don't know the first thing about how to set this up.
I'm sure we can work something out

# Yep
I think in a way we have too many ideas, but that's a great problem to have.

Edit: as far as hosting the award gifs, no-one needs ftp access except you. You'll just up them on your server space, and that's about all we'll need.

# good plan.
i just have the space, not the skeels. if one of you talented lot can build the basics, it's a go.

# Best blogged defence for the use of Comic Sans award.

edit: every site that uses it, has one. Fact!

# HAHAHAH
I just thought of this one: how about we offer an award for making sites more usable for people with reduced vision... by setting all their pages in 30pt text

# that is just mean.
we could show our awards from the 'BlindWebAssociation' or something, praising us for our inclusivity in giving out these awards.
