Post your banners below.

Update:
My mistake in leaving Nebraska off the temp banner, I apologize to all for the mistake. I suggest that we finalize this Sunday 7/16, we can then start voting for the new banner on 7/17 and all of next week concluding 7/23 and annouceing the winner on Monday 7/24. Will this work for everyone? Open to other suggestions as well.

I'll just move mine in from the other thread...

This looks good, Dominic (especially the dutchmen's breeches :biggrin: ), but I thought it needed to fit within the 120 pixel height.

In checking the other banners, there seems to be quite a bit of variation in dimensions. The widest was 800 pixels (UKNP) and highest was 150 (the current CSNP). However, I believe David did specify 720x120 (and 125 kb) in the other thread...800x150 would be MUCH nicer to work with if that fell within the guidelines :jump:

I agree with Bill. The slightly wider banner would be nice as long as it doesn't break site rules and I can't image it couldn't be handled by any monitor in use today.

BTW, these are both very nice entries, great job guys! :toast:

Well it meight be a little late, but if the UK folks can use the 800x150 banner I don't see why we can't. So use which ever demision that you want. :biggrin:

One last re-size. Then I'm done. :biggrin:

I really like what you've all done so far. Here is my entry .... for what it's worth.

I like it Wayne! I noticed you included Nebraska - is it part of CSNP or MWNP? I didn't mean to omit them in my banner, if they should have been included. I was just going by the current banner...

Well to be honest I'm not sure Bill. I don't see any definitive answer as I look at the regional forums but when this all started Nebraska was part of CSNP for sure.

The only contributor from Nebraska was Dave Uhlig but he has moved on to be a moderator for TNP. I don't know if he ever looks in here or not anymore but he used to be a regular contributor until the site slowed down a couple of years ago.

Unless we hear otherwise I would suggest including them in the CSNP, active members or not.

Yes, it works for me. I'm hoping a few more entries will filter in before then but if not, I've got my choice! Thanks Dave! :wavey:

Thanks Wayne! :wavey:

Just for the fun of it, here is my temp banner. At least it will give everyone another banner to look at. :biggrin:
