Well we are working on the top 10 for everyone to vote on not a simple task, but going very smoothly. Unfortunately not everyone is going to be able to be in there. First thing we did is eliminate all of the administrators entries. Then over the last few days we have been narrowing the list down. I think we may have the final list pending all of the administrators approval. I will be working on the poll this Thursday afternoon and hopefully will have it posted by early evening.

Lastly I wanted to make a video featuring everyone's banner, but before I do that I want to make sure no one has a problem with that. I was going to set the video to the song Signs by Five Man Electrical Band (original release) . Please send me a personal message if you do not want me to put yours in the video. I will also be working on that Thursday.

Thanks go out to everyone ....You all make this group incredible and a pleasure for me to be part of. A special applause to all of my fellow administrators past and present

  4. We took a vote on it and decided we didn't want to show any favoritism. We may do a poll later for the top administrator banner. We will be in the video though ....

  5. I still favor having those top ten rotated through ....maybe in the order of top to bottom as voted on...so many good banners were developed

  6. I agree Dana 100 %... and we already had planned on changing banners every few weeks starting with the top 10. The amount of thought and work people put in to these was incredible.

  8. The Banner Week was really an enjoyable week to view others ideas. Fantastic turnout in more ways than one.

  9. Please, no. It's nobody's business but ours.

    ReplyDelete
  10. So, how many entries did you receive?

    ReplyDelete
  11. This group is certainly talented and hosted by extraordinary people!
    The efforts put forth by both group members and admininstrators is 'over the top'!
    I can remember when I first joined I was very hesitant. I didn't think my entries would 'measure up'. Very swiftly did I realize that the people in this group EMBRACES EVERYONE~ and EVERY ENTRY.

    Just a good time for me to say THANKS to everyone....for being WHO and WHAT you are!

  12. I went through this.... a lot of em around here still intimidate the hell outta me, lol. But you're right, everyone is so nice to everyone else, and that makes it fun.

    ReplyDelete
  13. that might get others excited to join...or scare them away

    ReplyDelete
  14. I added a poll for everyone to voice their opinion anonymously .... Please vote

    ReplyDelete
  15. Please still Personal message me if you don't want yours in the video.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I don't like the idea about making a YouTube of our banners. If I had known, I would definitely have chosen another image.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Will our names be attached to them?

    ReplyDelete
  18. yours was private anyway...why participate?

    ReplyDelete
  19. What a great idea! this must be tons of work for all concerned, so thank all you Admins past and present, This group is just the best
    looking forward to seeing the results

    ReplyDelete
  20. If you don't want your banner in the slide show, just pm like he asked... it's that simple.

    ReplyDelete
  21. didn't everyone realize that this was a challenge to pick a new banner to be displayed for the WORLD to see...as this site is NOT private

    ReplyDelete
  22. if someone doesn't want their creation on the internet then they need to be taken out of the voting process..I mean what if they won...would they tell you it couldn't be used as our banner?

    ReplyDelete
  23. im sorry if it showed up as private to you, that was not my intention. i would have appreciated a note about it, but since i got many comments, i thought things worked ok.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I am looking forward to the finished video as much as I am the list of the top ten banners.

    Thanks for all the hard work folks.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Voted, already! Thanks for all your efforts.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I have a question...pls excuse my ignorance.

    If the majority votes for the video to only be posted here in this group...and not on YouTube......will it not still be available to be viewed by the 'world' as this group is not private?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I want to salute the adm who knows the rules well and is acting according to them! Well done, drwoe!

    ReplyDelete
  28. One way around that would be to attach the vid to a PM and send to group members only. Just a thought.

    ReplyDelete
  29. but Mitchy...the banner will still be there for the world to see..along with all the banners in the challenge

    ReplyDelete
  30. if they don't want the world to see the banner they made they should delete it

    ReplyDelete
  31. Remember, You Tube does not allow copyright music. I know people do it all the time, but I've also seen video pulled and audio silenced for this. Just an FYI.

    ReplyDelete
  32. this might be old enough for the copyright to have expired..and the band is copoot so they would not have renewed it

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yes, things are often more complicated than we tend to think, but copyright is important.

    According to About.com. music created before 1/1/1978 and published between 1/1/1978 and 12/31/2002 - notice is irrelevant - copyright protecion lasts the life of author and 70 years or 12/31/2047, whichever is greater

    ReplyDelete
  34. music is different...that is how Micheal Jackson bought the Beatles music the copyright expired

    ReplyDelete
  35. I just made a banner cuz I want to be included in the video and/or album. Here's my button link

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love the video idea, cant' wait to see what ya do with it. if it's to be. I thought the admins should be competing also, but looking forward to the battle of the admins.

    ReplyDelete
  37. The battle of the admins, ha ha ha Vic!
    And yes, the group is not private, so the banner can be seen by anyone.
    Also our entries if set to "everyone" can also be seen by anyone of course.

    ReplyDelete
  38. from the vote I think we will be on Youtube.....

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think It's rather awesome!!! And of course for those who wish not to be part of the video they can withdraw their banner....should it be uploaded to YouTube. The way I see it is if someone STEALS my pic then they must have thought it to be pretty awesome.....take it with my blessings! LOL

    gonna be hard waiting 'til thursday for more updates...argh !

    ReplyDelete
  40. why would anyone steal a photo that says Images & Words in bold print anyway???to put on a blog like ours?

    ReplyDelete
  41. i'm think it can't be to much like ours, if'n they couldn't come up with their own banner and we are proud enough to show our's off. fricking banner thieves make me so made I wannnaaa.... Wait, that was hypothetical wasn't it... uhhh, nevermind, carry on.

  43. it's ok...we have copyrights on this stuff automatically...thanks to Multiply

    ReplyDelete
  44. Well while I was off working it looks like I missed the great banner video controversy of 2010 .... Again just send me a personal message before Thursday and I will be happy to remove your banner from the video and competition as well if you'd like.

    ReplyDelete
  45. ROCK ON!!! Dr Woe...impress us with your wizardry

    ReplyDelete
  46. the lettering can be removed.however, as I previously stated.....if someone wants my photo..it's THEIRS. ( Not like I can't take one nearly identical to it)

    ReplyDelete
  47. I've had an image stolen in the past and it's not a good feeling. Especially because it was stolen by a professional photographer who placed it on her blog without crediting me, and when people complimented her on the photo she just said, "Thanks." She took it down after I complained, but it still hurt. Since then I've been putting a copywrite on my photos and I don't mind when people "take" them as long as my copywrite is in tact. I haven't had any problems since I've started copywriting. If an image is particularly valuable to me then I'll add a second less obtrusive copywrite over the main subject of the photo.

  48. Hi all, just wanted you to know that I popped in to see some posts and you're all making such beautiful creations. Also wanted to thank my past fellow admins for their support and kind words. I miss the group very much, but happy to see it continuing wonderfully. Welcome to Amy!

    Take care and keep creating!
    Danni
