    No interest so far? The technical aspect of creating an RSS widget box takes about 5 minutes. Other than that, it's a matter of designing a small logo for the header and background for the body of the widget.

    Hm.. 1 day left.... let me try....
    (this is the screenshot of the Widgetbox):

    Is this similar to what you are looking for? All fit to the specs you've mention, except for spec number 7: Ensure the header contains a logo with the text "Hive Health Media Network". I don't make the header with the text mentioned (only logo) because the text is already shows in the title. Or should I just delete the title and put the text in the header? By the way, how should I send you the file if you satisfied with my work? I mean I do the design with the widgetbox tool, and only the header,body, and footer that I create with photoshop, so.. which one it should be sent to you?

    Looking forward hearing from you soon. Thank you.

    Mikosan, great stuff! Just a couple things.

    1. When I tried making one myself, my logo gets warped as did yours by Widgetbox, possibly because it's too high res for widgetbox.

    2. Can you make these changes:

    Here is the revised:

    [​IMG]

    1. At first, the image warped by the widgetbox, but this time, I try to upload again and change the settings, it's work for the header and footer, but the body still warped, I have decrease the resolution.

    2. I have change the text in the header. At first, I try to make the text the same width of the word HIVE in the logo, but it doesn't look good because it's not clear enough to be read, so I change to these.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Okay that's good!

    Just one last thing sorry. Change the blue text from "Hive Health Media Network" to just "Health Media Network"

    I'll send you a PM in a second here.

    thanks!
