The entire front page is looking really nice! I'm loving it. Terrific job Dave & Trish! You both need gold star microbadges.

Vi, that picture on your avatar is amazing. I thought those flowers were fake till I looked at a bigger picture. What are they?

Thumbs up I agree ... and Dave needs an ATP wizard badge ... hmm, maybe one of the artsy/craftsy folks can make an icon picture with a little wizard guy holding a plant? Smiling

I also love the fact that suddenly I see a different banner and wonder - how long has it been like this? They are all beautiful!

Today's banner is courtesy of Horntoad!

Also, I made a slight change to the logo and header area. The banner is slightly larger than before (125px high instead of the old 110px high). This gives a better picture, in my opinion.

I agree
and thank you Horntoad! Very pretty!

Dave, I always wondered where those banner photos came from. Do you just choose photos from the database?

Ann, all our banners have been emailed to me by various members, mostly Horntoad, Dutchlady and Calif_Sue.

Oh. Do they have to be a certain size or format?

The banner needs to be exactly 125 pixels high and at least 900 pixels wide. Preferably around 1200 pixels wide.

If I get just a full size image, I can cut out just that spot but then you're trusting me to find the right part to use. Smiling
