The Official "Placeholder" contest

*caedes
10/16/06 12:13 AM GMT
I propose a contest in this thread to design a superior placeholder image. I know what you are thinking, the current placeholder has already set too high a standard. Well, don't worry, I assure you that there is room enough for 2 of even 3 such placeholder images on the site. Your's could very well capture 2nd or 3rd place behind the current! What a great opportunity!

Judging will be carried out by myself according to the metric of "best embodiment of placeholder-ness." Just upload your image anywhere and give us a link from this page (the one you are currently reading).

Hi! Newbie here, even though I'm coming up on my 1st year anniversary...but, what's a placeholder? Should it say "placeholder" or is it for when the sites down and should say "please stand-by"?

ps: will cake & punch be provided upon my 1 year anniversary to Caedes.net?
