+TheAlabamaRambler Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Calling all artists! Groundspeak has very generously offered to put up banner ads for our free The Online Geocacher Magazine http://www.onlinegeocacher.com! Saintseester created a cool one last year for our masthead. Now we need 3 that are in GIF format and are 90x180 pixels (WxH) It needs to incorporate the name 'The Online Geocacher Magazine' and the word 'Free' and if there is room the URL 'onlinegeocacher.com' but other than that you have free artistic reign! Anyone care to take a shot at it? Edited November 23, 2009 by TheAlabamaRambler Quote Link to comment
+catsnfish Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 What a great idea, TAR! Post your ideas and banners here and help The Online Geocacher reach more of our fellow cachers than ever Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Here's one from Saintseester... unfortunately when I scale it to the right size the lettering is too blurry. Edited November 22, 2009 by TheAlabamaRambler Quote Link to comment

+TheAlabamaRambler Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Rewhittled from scratch... That's some fine whittlin'! Thanks! Can you add the word "Magazine" across the bottom? Email your snail-mailing address to TheAlabamaRambler@gmail.com and I will send you a custom cache container for your effort! C'mon folks, we still need 2 more banners! Edited November 23, 2009 by TheAlabamaRambler Quote Link to comment

The answer is yes, it can be dynamic, but it can't change continuously... "Animated gif files are acceptable, but they must cease rotating following three revolutions." Quote Link to comment

Email your snail-mailing address to TheAlabamaRambler@gmail.com and I will send you a custom cache container for your effort! Why sure - your every digital wish is my command! Note that I also cleaned up the fuzzy aliasing on the bitty onlinegeocacher.com a tad - tough to get such bitsy text nice 'n sharp. Meanwhile - as gc.com of course turns all images into .jpgs (which is a majorly "lossy" format), I'll send you the .gif file via your gmail addy (along w/ my snail addy - thanks!)

+tekkguy Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 My post above was updated to stop after 3 ... I mis-read before and took it to mean 3 frames, no matter the repeats. Oops! Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thanks Tekkguy, that's great! Send me your snail-mail address and I will send you a custom container to hide. Still need one more... anyone? Bueller? Quote Link to comment

+Kit Fox Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I tried it a few times myself, and determined that I would rather pursue photography, hiking, or spending more time with my family, then molesting lamp post skirts, and fondling guardrails all day. Well maybe you should try doing caches that have more then a Diff 1 and Terr 1 rating. ScubaSonic Did you look at my stats? I even posted a thread pertaining to my desire to keep having fun while geocaching. Recipe for fun, Share your techniques for avoiding caches you dislike. Quote Link to comment
