We just launched a new header layout. We have tested the new header for several browsers but if it is still messed up or if something is not looking quite right, try hitting CTRL + F5 keys to do a hard refresh. If that does not work, please let me know so we can investigate. How do you like the new header?
Also the contests feature is brand new. We'll have 2-3 new contests weekly or monthly. We kicked it off with 2 contests. With Valentine's Day coming, Most Original Valentine's Day Gift Idea For Her and the second for girls to submit entries Most Original Valentine's Day Gift Idea For Him should be good help. Some contests will be open to everyone, some will be for girls to enter the contest and guys to vote on the entries and some vice versa. Depending on the contest we will award the winners with cool prizes. These first 2 contest winners will get $20 Amazon Gift Cards.
So what contest ideas do you have that we should start on GirlsAskGuys in the future? What prizes would you like to see given? Contests can be video submissions, picture submissions, stories etc.
Feedback/ideas from you will shape this new feature.
I like the new header, but I don't like the color. It's too bright for my tastes. Kinda reminds me of a dry erase board. I don't like the ads in the question box as well, but I do have to ask, are people looking at the ads more now that you have moved them? I think good contests would something that is actually based on true events (well, what people want us to believe are true events) ; instead of Most Original Valentine Gift have Most Romantic Valentine Story that happened to you, etc.
I've always like "Most Embarrassing Stories" - but I'm not sure if you could enter the contest anonymously, lol. Of course for a prize, some people might enter it anyway. "Worst Date Ever" always brings laughs. "Fashion Faux Paux" for pictures is a good one, as long as the faces are blurred out. That's something I think I might win living where I'm living. Poetry contest as well as short story. "Best lesson learned from life" is a great one - I love reading about the lessons people take from their experiences in life. Photography contests with themes, like "Rhapsody in blue" (everything has to be blue) etc.
I like to read personal accounts from people's real experiences in life. It engages my interest, I would be more apt to participate in those type of entries than just generic "Most original blah blah blah"
Prizes - I would love a jammie set from Girls ask Guys. Or a wife beater shirt with the logo. Underwear would be cute too (envision my husband asking "What are you wearing?"). Hats, mugs, even a pen and pencil set. Great conversation starters. I would love some free music as well. But I guess you could get that from Amazon. You can have a feature of people who have contributed - like a short interview of the "winner" and such. They can even have a picture up of themselves if they want. Everyone would love their 15 minutes of fame, even if it were just on Girls asks Guys. Hey, am I going to get paid if any of these ideas are used? Lol.
Great feedback. We do have a story contest coming soon for valentine's day stories. And after that we may just steal your ideas like Fashion Faux Paux for picture contest. We can call the award for that contest Simple-Simonette award to give you credit :)
I also like what you suggested " a short interview of the winner ". I will see when we can get this added.
Even as young as sixteen, they could still have experienced the death of a loved one or the separation of their parents. I think it would actually provide an interesting point of view. - 9 months ago
I'm not going to lie, I liked the old header a lot better, especially because it was easier to distinguish which section of the site we're in. Now, the words are subtly highlighted, whereas before, they were circled, which made navigation much easier. Also, the white is too stark of a contrast from the blue. The contest idea sounds great though!
i see a pure white header with the words in blue. I don't really like it at all compared to the old one... unless I'm not seeing the header... but I've refreshed just about 20 times
The contest for guys closed earlier than the one for the girls and I couldn't even view what the answers from the guys were. What's up with that? Girls need more time to think?
Ok idea though and I will be voting.
I don't like the ads in the question boxes. Takes away from reading the question.
The new header is ok but I did have to ask (and was answered) about finding the recent questions feature. Works for me.
AJtogo that was a mistake on our part and last night we changed the contest end date for guys and now it's the same with contests for girls. Sorry about that :) - 10 months ago
