Now that I have your attention :-)

Santorini is the location for our latest JumpStart offering. Sun-drenched beaches, legends of Atlantis, strong coffee. What could be better? ... Something free, of course.

The Santorini JumpStart is free. Take the design and make it your own. It's got the goods with respect to valid XHTML and CSS and compliance to accessibility and 508 standards. And when you're done, submit your adaptation to our brilliant panel of CMX judges.You might just win a one-year subscription to Community MX!

Oh, and did I mention that Santorini is a 3-column fixed/fluid layout? The two outside columns are fixed width but the center one is liquid, stretching to fill the remaining space. Plus, it's got a bunch of cool, Gordon-Mackay-quality icons.

Santorini is our 18th JumpStart, and we think that this is a nice "coming of age" number. To celebrate, we're going to give CMX JumpStart Santorini away for free. We are also going to hold a JumpStart contest so that designers can submit adaptations from any of our 18 JumpStarts to a panel of CMX judges. You can download Santorini and also read all of the contest rules at Community MX,

The first prize is a free year subscription to Community MX. The winner and a runner up will also have their designs featured on the front page of CMX. The contest is open to everyone - non-subscribers who do not own commercial JumpStarts can use one of our two free ones. These include Santorini and North Pole..

All entries must be submitted by Nov. 3, 2006. CMX will announce the winner on Nov. 9, 2006.
