definitely a graphic banner ....any other helpful suggestions will be welcome as well if we use them the same deal.
I toy with PS a bit, so I would like to enter, but I'm a little confused. Do you want people to create a banner, and you will embed the code in to the image file somehow? Or suggestions on info to be included in the banner? Or a combination of the two? Or am I way off? :facepalm:

Just the graphic part that will be the base of the banner.

I personally keep track of every dime I spend on PV equipment and juice, because I want an honest accounting of how much vaping saves me over smoking. Maybe have a way to subtract whatever you've spent from the total? I know that's asking a bit much.

I like designing things, but honestly the amount of choices you have currently is already pretty nice. I can see three separate designs on this page alone, and all three look great. Maybe a lighter-colored one that's not quite as noticeable? Otherwise, nice going so far. :)

How about this for a banner? I think there should be just enough room for the text above and below the BMF.

I might need to lighten it up a bit but I'm too tired to look at it any more tonight.

I didn't think it sounded right the way I was doing it :facepalm:

but, o well, I had a few hours to spend on it, and this what I came up with. (Obviously not a graphic designer).

I doubt I'll give it another shot, because I can already see I'm far outclassed :( :lol:

Jordan, Don't give up. You did great! I like all of them and I especially think that blue one is really cool!

Thanks everybody, glad you like it! I cleaned it up a little this morning and did a few variations:

Bloog-Sig-Banner-Blue.jpg


Bloog-Sig-Banner-Red.jpg


Bloog-Sig-Banner-Silver.jpg


Bloog-Sig-Banner-White.jpg



Just to clear up something: The script is prepared, at this time, to output the text at the position you see in the current banners, and with the same font and color.

No problem - I'll take a look at some scripts and see if I can figure out how to reposition the text overlay and maybe get some anti-aliasing going.

I made those in Photoshop - thought they came out pretty realistic! :)

I spent the day getting PHP installed and running on my machine and trying to figure out how it works. I think I've got the "showimage" php script working, simplified, and aligning the text the way it should (centered on the BMF).

^Actual output from the script.

Going to try to get the index script, for generating the appropriate banner URLs, fixed up next.
