ecanus.net v2: my revamped site (and a little contest) [CLOSED]
My personal site ecanus.net (Ecanus is the angel of writers) has been up for getting on for three years now, but was in desperate need of a makeover. It was one of the first CSS table-less layouts I did, and was rather dull and disorganised. So, I decided a makeover was in order. I was working on it between other things, so it's taken a while, but finally a few weeks ago I was ready to unveil ecanus.net v2.0.
The site has some of my short stories, most of my poetry collection spanning the years (I've saved the really bad ones for a rainy day <hehe>), some of my graphics, fractals, and photography, and is also home to MasterWeb & the IB GeekGirls forum.
IB icons are used quite a bit on the site - icons from 12 different icon sets to be precise. So, a challenge...I will accept from the first 3 IBers to correctly identify the 12 sets, Amsterdam Arctic, Taipei Monkey, and Ashbury Menagerie, in the following order - 1st correct answer whispered on my page gets to send Amsterdam Arctic, second gets to send Tapei Monkey, and 3rd gets to send Ashbury Menagerie. I don't want to know which icon it is and which page it's on - just the names of the 12 sets. Please do not send anything until I have confirmed who the three winners are - I don't accept unsolicited deliveries and I hold stamps hostage.
Good Luck!

so...who are the winners?

Thanks u cute little penguin! :)
Okay, so the first two winners are DinoBoff and Nell.
As DinoBoff can only send Taipei Monkey though, I'll let DinoBoff send Taipei Monkey and Oslo Symbol. Nell's in second place, and I'll accept the Amsterdam Arctic from her.
Third place is still up for grabs, and from the 3rd place winner I'll accept Ashbury Menagerie and Mallow Munchies as I've changed the sets for 1st and 2nd place(previous entrants cannot enter again).
Once third place is won I'll give the full list.
Congrats to DinoBoff and Nell, and thanks for playing to all those who didn't get it quite right. :)

FallenAngel on Oct 06, 2007

So what is the final list?
Nell on Oct 06, 2007
Woot! Thanks FallenAngel :D
FallenAngel on Oct 07, 2007
So what is the final list?
Patience dear boy! I do have a life outside IB you know and asking me repeatedly doesn't get me back here any quicker! ;-)
Okay, jflint is indeed correct - I'd forgotten that one icon is used on the Terms & Conditions, legal, privacy and credits pages; the links for which are tucked away right at the bottom of the pages (it was the Anaheim Alert one I'd forgotten about).
Thus, jflint gets to send me Blinksale.
The final list, with the icon and where they are used is:
1. Alexandria Architecture (birdhouse - on home page)
2. Anaheim Alert ('heads up' blue exclamation mark - on T&Cs, legal, privacy and credits pages)
3. Anaheim Expression (answer ('A' bubble) - on accessibility page)
4. Cupertino Collect Call (crashed (web) - on web pages)
5. Manhattan Smilies 1 (devilish - on smiley pages)
6. Montgomery Kare Pkg. (blue folder - on links page)
7. New York Neaderthal (globe - on the sitemap page)
8. Nuuk Buzz (envelope - on the contact page)
9. Shanghai Buffet (check - on the shopping page)
10. Shanghai Tech (mouse, laptop - on accessibility page)
11. Slideshow Pro (camera, photo album, photo gallery, and photos - camera on photos page, photo album on the bookshop page, photo gallery on the fractals page, photos on the background images page)
12. Tower Grove Power (atom - on the 'about' page)
13. Tower Grove Studio (pen - on poetry, prose and writing pages)
