Pink for October wants to know what the colour pink means to you. Colours have strong meanings attached to them and this survey is a quick bit of fun to see what people associate with the colour pink.

If you’d like to participate just visit the survey. The results of this will be posted later on this site. All answers are anonymous. It should be an interesting experiment to find out in this month of pink what the colour means to different people.

This is the first in a number of surveys we’ll be running over the coming month. We’ll look at a number of issues related to Breast Cancer so keep a lookout for those. Until then, since there’s much talk about the colour pink during the month of October, we start here.

I hope you all enjoy it and look forward to seeing what the colour pink really does mean to people.

We’ve had some issues with the sign up process so we are on to Plan B.

Check out the list of sites and sign up there as well.

With this new way of doing things, everyone is automatically approved. I’ll just be going through the list now and again to remove spam and people who don’t seem to truly be with the spirit of the event.

If you signed up before October 3, 2007, your entry should still be there. Have a look and if not let me know in the comments on this post. Write the info that needs to be changed and I will edit it for you.

If you signed up on October 3, 2007 (today) before the we moved to Plan B, take a look for your site in the list (it will be toward the end). If it isn’t there, give me a until tomorrow. Some sites came in while I was doing the data transfer from here to the new list. I will manually add those today. If you don’t see it by tomorrow, please resubmit. I hope to capture 99% of the submissions so far, which means I might miss one or two.

Let me know in the comments if you have any problems with the new sign up process.

I still don’t know what the issues were with the previous application. The code seemed fine and Media Temple was working with me on a daily basis to track down issues. My thanks to Zach for all the hard work and to Destiny at MT.

Lastly, thanks to Kevin Hale of wufoo.com for helping me out so much.

Tomorrow or Friday I hope to get back to my planned schedule of posting about the issues and no longer have to worry about the sign ups. Thank you everyone for you patience. I am sorry if some of you had a bad experience signing up.

[update5] I feel like Homer Simpson: site goes up, site goes down. Site goes up, site goes down. My apologies as the code errors that some of you are experiencing are aggravating to me too.[/update5]

After much prodding, cursing (like the kind that would make pirates blush), kicking, screaming, and did I mention cursing? he sign up application is up and running. Albeit many hours later than I wanted. My apologies for the delay.

Zach and I have been pulling our hair out for the last two days bashing bugs that just shouldn’t have even been there. The biggest issue was a missing hyphen (which kept the app from running); always hard to track down something that small in a web app. But who cares… it’s working! If you notice any issues with it please leave a comment on this post. The sign up page will be our way to officially count how many sites Went Pink, though we’ll use other means to count too.

So please sign up and add your site to the list. I’ll be moderating all submissions to reduce spam so you may have to wait a bit to see your site in the list. If I am not sleeping it won’t take longer than an hour. If I am sleeping… A little longer. :)

We are doing some fun code magic and taking screen shots of all the sites that submit, so it will be easy to get a quick look via thumbnail as to what the sites look like.

My thanks to Zach for coding it. My thanks to me for finding where the missing hyphen needed to be. :)

And finally my thanks to everyone that’s Going Pink this year.
