[Rubberslug] So what's this new-fangled Rubberslug thing anyway? (Fri Jan 4 09:37:18 2002 )

Howdy. I'm the admin guy at Rubberslug.

I confess, I've been bad. I haven't been keeping 
track of the conversation that's been going on 
here. Special thanks goes out to Flipyon and my 
other friends at RS who clued me into this 
discussion. So, if possible, I'd like to help out 
and answer some questions.

Rubberslug hosts cel galleries. Free -- unless we 
start pulling down 300k/s. We'll worry about this 
when we have to. (at least 150 galleries) For 
now, it's not even close. Bandwidth is a little 
cheaper than Geocities would have you believe. 
Hard drives are cheap too. The 80+ total 
galleries and 1500+ cel images on the site don't 
even pass 50M.

How do you make a gallery? It can be as simple as 
uploading some cel images via a form and 
attaching some information to them. There's very 
simple templates that can make a quick cel 
catalog for you, divided into catagories. Today, 
some folks were up and running within 15-20 
minutes as I was tinkering on the site.

On the advanced side, that simple template can be 
broken up like Lego blocks. You can replace just 
about every piece of the template and make it 
look completely different. The reason the default 
template looks kinda plain is because it's easier 
to modify than one of those goofy "baseball 
themed" or "business themed" templates on other 
free homepage places that I'm sure you probably 
hate by now. You can add HTML, too. You can 
instantly make thumbnails (JPG only!), attach 
sketches, add detailed wishlist, and control 
almost everything in the site layout.

We rely on user-feedback to create new features 
for the site, which probably explains how we've 
made lots of new friends. (Thanks for the 
compliments and suggestions, everyone!) 

If you scroll down a bit to the other thread 
about Rubberslug, I've posted some answers to the 
questions people are asking. If this whole 
Rubberslug thing is still a bit fuzzy, you might 
be able to get a better idea of what we're about 
if you read on. 

If you're ready to give it a whirl, click here. Our page will 
open in a new window. See you there, and thanks 
for reading.


Cheers,
jn

ps - Special thanks to Anime-Taro for creating 
the unofficial link banner. I just remembered 
when I placed that order this morning that I 
never e-mailed you back one. I'm a doofus... 
sorry. =/
