Use the following image instead as a spacer. We will add the widget ourselves.

When you're done, zip up the webpage and all of it's resources and send it to foxtroter2.0+shocktober@gmail.com
(Please use the +shocktober part so my email client will filter it properly.)

We can't wait to see all of your wonderful webpages! Happy coding!

EDIT: As requested, here is a list of FREE editors

I put something together, and sent it just now. Might not be what you were hoping for, but it gave me something to do

I had a few questions. Is PHP supported? Where can we few the schedule for shocktober and does each game have a description?

[Foxtrot200]

PHP is supported as far as I know and if you want to setup game info, that's perfectly acceptable. Just try to script it so we don't have to do much.

Bigal, are those databases MYSQL? Would make changing the schedule and even putting in a place to put the status of each Wiiplay pretty simple.

[Theguesst]

Perhaps you can point out some free and available editors for aspiring programmers to use since I had a user PM me about a web page they created, but it was HOSTED on webs. For the sake of time, I suggest adding this in.

EDIT: thanks for implementing this so quickly.
