Anyways, if it was "See ya", explain to me what "but still, that's what I call CYA" means, lol.

Sorry for my retardation.

No, it is an ages-old acronym for Cover Your A**, well, rear-side.

Right everyone, to make things easier I have made a very quick mock-up of roughly how my web page is going to look, minus the banner of course - visit www.egyptbc.com to get an idea of colour schemes, etc

you're really pushing the wrong button asking that question, but ill be nice and answer. my server was hacked this month taking it down for 10 days and using over 570gigs of outbound traffic before we had to shut everything down. that costs a lot of money, and slows down the server. i moved to a different server about a day ago. speed problems are about the last thing i'm worried about right now.

it really wasn't a matter of changing hosts. i have a friend with a couple colo servers, and i was on one of his servers. we've had long discussions with the colo people regarding the issue, and in general we are very aggitated with them. i moved over to another one of the servers, and reside there all by myself now where the only damage that can occur will happen to my site. in the future we will take measures to make sure the site is mirrored on another server and i wont experience down time like this again. there are some things to learn from the whole event, but i will still be sticking with my buddy for hosting space for the time being. i've been meaning to get a second server for the site so maybe i'll do that on my own. there are just so many things i have to change at the moment tho it really isnt even funny.

as for the image tho i couldn't tell you why it loaded slow, but the file is only 12kb and should load extremely fast.

"WOW, I spent so much time reading Atimesia's text that I almost didn't realise there was an image attached! Does look good though"

Thank you Padawan for the kind words about this banner design. I would like to say that should you choose my design, one slight revision would be considered as part of the project.

LOL....I would agree that there is a great deal of verbage in my post. I have been a working graphic designer for 23 years and have submitted thousands of mock-ups over the years, so have some experience in this area. In my work-a-day life, the firm for which I work, always supplies the client with an agreement before the project is accepted. It is good business practice and protects both of us. You from any legal backlash about using other's clipart, or the fact that someone else still holds the rights to a design on your site.

Although this was a design for myself on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I feel that it was still necessary to include. I hope that my professionalism remains, whether it is a $15 or $500 design.


Your site sounds very interesting, will visit it when it is done.

Cheers;
Artimesia

I am not the judge, but I must say that I thought Logical Program's submission was amazing. Great job, everyone who submitted!

That's true Kyrnt, I had forgotten to comment on Logical's entry - I do like the design, especially the hieroglyphs(?) in the background, however I feel it is too dark as it is - seems dark brown to me - a lighter shade of brown may work better though......

Duckz, using possibly copywritten images in your design is not recommended, and could be illegal depending on whether or not it is copywritten. I don't recommend using other people's pictures in your designs. Just a heads up.

In Duckz defense (plus since I download some images last night to mess with for this) I have seen some of those pictures in photo exchange and the ones I can recognize are the same ones I got and have no usage restrictions.

However I'm not positive about all the images.

Hopefully I will have some time tonight to throw a couple banners together.

here you go LOP, written by the Stock webmasters i used:
You may use any of the photos in our system free of charge for any commercial or personal design work if you obey the specified restrictions concerning each photo you download.


Later, seeing the authors archive, egyptian folder and the picture itself u can read the following:
To get the full size photo, just click on the preview.
There are no usage restrictions for this photo.
