Ultimate Blog Challenge - Girl Gamer Site

The Challenge:
The new website will need a new title, a slogan, and a layout. Players must come up with the most unique and creative title/name, slogan, and layout for the upcoming Girl Gamer site.

Sample Format:
Title – GE PH Community Blog: Lady Veya’s Musings


Slogan – Don’t play games with a girl who can play better.


Layout – XML Blogspot Format
*Blogger layouts can be tricky. Try to create an account and go to Layout - Edit HTML to learn more about it. Sample would be my current blog layout. This one is simple - I played with the colors and the images for the widgets (side panel) and the header. It's similar to the DIV (divider) designs.

Mechanics:
• Title/Slogan: keep it short and simple. Vulgar words are not allowed.
• Layout:
a. Images must not be heavy for uploading. Maintain 1280 x 800 pixels or less, and 1,000 KB or less as well.
b. Observe copyrights; if you’re using someone else’s image, ask for permission and give proper credits to the owners.

Prizes:
Most unique title and slogan – 1 Item of the Month, and 1 Rabbit Hairlace
Most creative layout – 30,000 GPoints, 50 Adelina’s Booty Search and 3 Rabbit Hairlace

Deadline of entries is until the end of the month of May.***

Too weak, for all her heart's endeavor,
To set its struggling passion free

A sudden thought of one so pale
For love of her, and all in vain
