    Not completely sure I can post the results publically, but Shawn did pretty well - winning a few categories and coming in second in most of the others.

    Nice job Shawn - I guess the Hulk's votes weren't quite big enough! ;-)

    yes, i did. they declined me... said not enough content.... because i had two sections incomplete... so what i did was take them down, until I complete them...
    would I have to resubmit my site now that I've changed it ?

    Yes, you should resubmit once the content is there.

    it can take quite a while before the site appears in the public directory, anything from a few days to a few weeks! Depends when they do a sweep for all the updates. I submitted a site that I'd help build, and was quite lucky, it appeared in under 2 weeks.. I don't think they're always that swift!

    I've only been accepted fairly recently. I share editing responsibilities for ...Graphics/Vector/SVG/ and my editor name is palerider. I'm very interested in your new interface Shawn, and I take my hat off to you for all your efforts! :)

    Off Topic: paulhiles, how is Google picking up the on-page SEO on SVG pages? Any difficulties?

    Because SVG works well with HTML, XHTML, etc there should be no difficulty there. As far as I'm aware, there's only been one attempt at a 'pure' SVG site, and that was SVGspider (now offline, but still archived at archive.org).
    The structure is basically the same as any other XML document, and theoretically, because it's text-based, crawlers should be able to cope with SVG documents. Early days yet though, especially with the state of browser development at the moment! :eek:)

    There's certainly lots of potential for SVG, not only on the web, but for a whole range of mediums.. and that's why I'm especially pleased to have been accepted as an editor for that category. There now... think I've got us back on topic! ;)
