Art Talk:Poetry Death Match/Archived Round 2

Sure, go and make *your* page prettier than mine.

Hrmmmph.

 * Heh, well I've offered to help spiffy up yours (see your talk/discussion page), but you didn't reply so I assumed you didn't want me to touch it. The offer still stands, I'm happy to do the same formatting for your page (or just tell you what code to pop in if you'd rather do it yourself, although you can see the code by editing this page too). --Guppymomma 10:56, 22 September 2005 (PDT)
 * What I would like to do, since some people have mentioned it, is be able to set the headline text (the names) to the same colour as the background, so they're invisible until you select them. Some people have suggested that they'd be much more able to judge without prejudice if they weren't seeing the names of the people until after they'd read both the poems, and that would let them do it, but still get the names easily. What do I need to do to my template to make that happen? (IE, where in my table code would I set the font colour?). --Jasandrea


 * The spot it would go in would be for the cells with the competitors names (as you wouldn't want to do the whole row because that would render the match name hidden as well). Come to think of it, I bet things would be easier for you if you used a wiki template.  I'll help you set one up when I get back home from work, it will make your filling stuff in easier here.  Basically you'll just do the table opening & closing tags and use instances of the wiki template in between them (this will also reduce possible confusion switching poets' poems around). --Guppymomma 11:46, 22 September 2005 (PDT)


 * I'm on a text only browser while at work and also have some issues with being able to save edits, but I think I have created a template that should work for you okay. You'll need to test it out to see if the poet name coloring is working right.  I've plonked directions on the talk page of Template:PDM, so take a look at Template talk:PDM. --Guppymomma 12:01, 22 September 2005 (PDT)
