Hey brother, I know you're a busy guy, but I had some questions for you.

How do you make a banner that can be clicked to go to your bucket? If I were to supply the pics, would you be able to make a banner that would be able to be clicked? I've never used a banner before, but you make some pretty kick ass banners for peoples sigs. I'm not sure if/what I want, I was just wondering if you knew how to do it and/or if you would be able to help me do it.

Also, if I gave you a list of pics from my bucket, would you be able to make a desktop background? I think it would be cool to have a background that would be made up of cards.

I know you do quality work and I know that you are probably able to do all of this, I just wanted to check in with you first and see.

Thanks for any and all info and help.

Hey Joe- I can answer your "clickable image" question for John (shuedini). It's done through code tags. For example, my signature code looks like this (without all the spaces):

[ url = http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e225/dstratford26/ ][ img ]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e225/dstratford26/zMy%20Collection/Temp/ultsig580.jpg[ / img ][ / url ]

You simply replace the Red text above with the URL you are linking to, such as your photobucket; then replace the Blue text with the link to the image in your photobucket.

shuedini is your banner man!

Thanks for the assist wideright!

As for the banner and the desktop images...I think that's something I could do for you. Let me know kind of what you're looking for.

Thank you wideright. I appreciate that. I was always curious. I'm not the most savy when it comes to these things. :lol:


Shue- I'll get back to you. I am more thinking about doing the desktop background than the banner. I'm not sure yet, I just wanted to make sure that you wouldn't have a problem doing something like that since it's different then doing a banner.

Thanks,
Joe

The banners I do are just the very tip of the iceberg. I mess around with paint.net a bunch, so I definitely don't have a problem doing a computer background for you. You can email the pictures to me at: [email protected]. Just let me know what you're looking for and what resolution your monitor is set at, so I can make it the right size for you. If you'd like, I'd even do up a banner for you to use here on the FCB. Again, just let me know what you'd like done.

Nice work John! Killer Griffey desktop.

Thanks guys. I had something a little different in mind as far as placement of the cards, but since there were so many different ones I couldn't do what I had initially set out to do. I was going to make them look kind of like album covers do in iTunes. With them turned a bit to the sides and a primary one centered. But overall I'm pleased with the background. Plus Joe and his wife like it! :D

I apologize brother. I didn't know that you had something in mind. I wasn't trying to flood you with pics, I just wasn't sure how many would be needed to put together a nice background. I guess my eyes were bigger than my monitor. :lol: It did turn out great though. I trust your creative ideas. If you has wanted to do something different, that would've been fine by me too.

No worries. Sometimes you have to modify things to get a nice outcome. I like the way it looks...it's not what I had originally had pictured, but nice none the less. :D

Shue, how do you make a custom shape as your canvas?
If you're referring to my current banner, you have to save your image as either a .png or a .gif with a transparent background. You start out with a standard size image, but you make the background "clear" as opposed to a color. Then on the layers above the background you create your picture, but don't go all the way to the edges.

That's the short answer. I don't really want to do an entire tutorial on them. You can find more about that on the paint.net forum (accessible throught the paint.net help menu.)
