Take a screenshot of your bloxTools landing page, and post it here for all the world to see!
One Rule, you must post your landing page code to your bloxtools files area to share =)
I know you can do better than me...

bloxTools beauty contest!
Re: bloxTools beauty contest!
The link to your landing page appears to be broken for me. Is it just me or is it missing for everyone else as well?

Just re-tested works from a few PC's here...
Re: bloxTools beauty contest!
there was an issue before, I re-linked it to your image from your files section.
Re: bloxTools beauty contest!
Here you go, Phil. Here is my entry into the beauty contest. You can download the files from my home page or by clicking on the screenshot below.
Briefly, you could probably write a script to generate the html from your directory structure. Everytime you restart the bloxTools environment, the script would run and generate an up-to-date landing page.
Re: bloxTools beauty contest!
To follow up on my last post, you can actually take advantage of snapInstall to dynamically update your landing page. In fact, with a little bit of JavaScript and CSS, I put together a dynamic version of my previously published landing page. Simply unzip and copy the htdocs directory to your bloxTools Environment. You must have snapInstall installed, of course.
Re: bloxTools beauty contest!
I made a few simple changes to your landing page to compensate for any plugins installed prior to using snapInstall as well as for those snap-ins not yet snapInstall compatible.
Essentially, I just make a couple of new thumbnails, put them in the respective snapin htdocs/images folder and added the following code to index.html in /htdocs.
