Second I am getting a little tired of our banner and want to change it, so I decided that this coming Sunday we would do a new banner challenge. Please make your entries so they can be resized down to 1200 x 600 approximately, and include the words ... Images & Words . The background will be staying black I think it makes the photos stand out best.
Third please vote in the poll so we know how we are going to pick the new banner.
Have a great week and again welcome aboard Amy !!!!!
yeah that's great. welcome amy!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amy, great to have you on board!
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard Amy great idea here Joel for a new banner.
ReplyDeleteYeah I just kind of threw the one that's up together in a couple of minutes with plans on changing it but ... as we can see that didn't happen... maybe we will end up with something warm and softer
ReplyDeleteSmiles from me here. LOL @ warm and softer...
ReplyDeleteWarm welcome to you Amy, hugs and best wishes to Danni for all the hard work!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to have a new Banner, will get my thinking cap on lol

I like the banner up there, but i'm relatively new so i guess it hasn't gotten old for me yet. How the heck do you post something that large, 1200 is huge.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all the great ideas people come up with.
I'll resize it down from there or up to there . I just don't want to end up with pixel distortion when adjusting the size. The size there now is 600 x 300 which is what I will end up resizing it to approximately.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who edits and sizes images for a popular theme maker here in Multiply land, I have a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteWhen we each make our banners, make them as close to 1200x600 as you can get them, save them in that size, then size a copy down to a size that's right for posting. I can tell you that it's very easy to do in Picnik. That way, whichever one is chosen, the winner can just send the original to Joel.
Thanks Lanie !!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeleteThat could be fun, Go for it
ReplyDeleteBut give a little more time to produce. It should take a little more time for anyone to put together an awesome banner.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Amy.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amy; and Danni hope all goes well and you come back.
ReplyDeleteWith the talent and creativity here... I can't wait to see the results.
It's gonna be a difficult task choosing a favorite
Thank you, everyone! I'm honored :-). I hope Danni will be able to come back and play with us soon.
ReplyDeleteI think you should decide on 5 or 6 and change them out every so often
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amy in your new role. Sorry to hear about Danni standing down. I hope things get better for her in the near future.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes to Danni.
ReplyDeleteHi and Welcome to Amy.
Smiles
Weenie

ReplyDeletemine is ready....(hey Amy)
ReplyDeleteMine is too! Aren't we the early birds!
ReplyDeleteAmy, Welcome!
ReplyDeleteI want to see yours...guess I can wait
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear Danni is leaving, but I think she will be back.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amy your photo's are amazing and I look forward to your comments.
Sorry to hear my buddy Danni is going but glad to hear of Amy coming aboard.
ReplyDeleteWelcome!
Thanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like Ethansdad's of having several banners and changing them out, since I've been enjoying changing out my own banners monthly or at least seasonally.
Ok I will be working but I have mine ready too. Can we start posting them ahead of time?
ReplyDeletepretty anxious to see what everyone came up with for this.
ReplyDeleteJoel said "...and a hint of this weeks challenge"
ReplyDeleteHow can you guys be ready?
hmm i think we all took the hint pretty literally.
ReplyDeleteWas meant literally .... This weeks challenge is going to be for the new banner
ReplyDeletewhew! glad i didn't prep for nothing.
ReplyDeletegonna be a busy day around here tomorrow...
ReplyDeletebecause he said ''secondly'' and told us what the challenge was...
ReplyDeletegeeze you all are so on top of this...I haven't even thought about this yet...should I assume this is a landscape sized image to fit the banner window?
ReplyDeleteWelcome Amy, I know you will rock our creative world! ♥
I made mine 750x385, and saved a larger size.
ReplyDeleteThe size should be around 600 x 300 approximately with a larger 1200 by 600 saved so if you win I can resize without losing pixel quality.
ReplyDeleteThe one here now is 600 by 314
ReplyDeleteMade a smaller one.... it's 600x308.
ReplyDeleteI am ready, and will post in the morning before work. This will be fun to see all the entries.
ReplyDeleteAlso welcome Amy, I know we will all have a ball.
your avatar icon is making me laugh - what an expression
