New Pivot webring

Posted by Madjo on the 13 December, 2005 - 8:20pm.

*Update*
It appears that this webring is also not among the living anymore. (perhaps Scriptor could look into this?)
So for now we don't have a webring anymore. What you could do, is add yourself to the large list of Pivot users on www.pivotlog.net
To find out more about this, and how to apply, go to this forum thread on the official site and follow the instructions given there.

Good luck. 

As you may have noticed, the Pivot webring has stopped some time ago.

MyPivot visitor Scriptor is in the proces of creating a number of webrings for (mainly Dutch) bloggers, being inspired by exactly that Pivot webring.
Hence one of the first webrings is one for users of the Pivot weblog software.
At this moment, the only criterion to join is the fact that you use a Pivot hosted weblog.
Just like the former Pivot webring.
As Scriptor runs a slightly better configuration than the original Pivot Ring, expectation is that the site will be on air quite some time.
You are quite welcome to join the Ring !!

The webring is here
And mind you, anyone having nice idea’s, please share them in either this Dutch thread or in this English thread.

Template contest

Hey all you Pivoteers, wonderful Pivoteers

There is a new template contest for Pivot right here at MyPivot.net!

Not just any template, this contest has a theme which is to create a template for art sites mainly, but you could use it for all your pivot sites of course.

So what do we mean by artsites?
Well there are lots of loggers that like to display their photo's, photoshop work etc.. So in general we are looking for templates that have a nifty and nice way to show images.

You can make use of subweblogs, snippets etc., even external image galleries could be used, as long as it all fits the template and could hold comments. Latest images on the frontpage everything you need for your artlog, photolog etc. As long as you supply a readme with guidelines on how to get it to work.

There is an award also for the first place, we reserved 60 euro.

Examples for some inspiration:
http://www.tascha.ch/wordpress/
http://www.henningludvigsen.com/wordpress/

We aren't looking for copies of those sites but they give you an idea on what we are looking for.
Submissions are also donated to PivotStyles so be sure to stick to their guidelines as well.

There will be no losers in this contest 'cause all you nice folks will receive eternal fame.

The contest ends on May 31st, and the winner will be anounced later in June.

Good luck to all of you who joins in this contest.
