Hi..

I have a request could someone please explain how to create a banner of John From Cincinnati that I could use on MySpace Blog, LiveJournal Blog, and MySpace bulletins?

I have Corel Paint Shop, and Corel Photo Album I have several avatars and pictures already on Photo bucket but I do not know how to create banners.
I guess I'm asking what the pixel size  they should be, and how to I make a photo wider and narrower? HELP PLEASE I'll gladly accept any banners you have
already made too...

Here is the link to my   "Photobucket" account John From Cincinnati Album take any photos you'd like by right clicking and click SAVE AS name them anything
you'd like save them to your computer to upload online to use anytime.  

Thanks in advance I really appreciate all your hard work and efforts..

Much love,

Tammy,  here is a page that shows all the standard banner sizes in pixels.

http://www.simplygraphix.com/banners_sizes.html

Banner ads are used to generate clicks to products/services to increase sales.  So to create an effective ad you first have to have it linked to something that you are advertising.  So what are you going to use the banner ad for?  Where will it be linked to?  Once you know that then you can design the graphic for that purpose.

hhhhhmmmmm when I put them in my photo shop and enlarge them they lose there quality fast, I wish I could be more help, are there bigger banners anywhere you could take or do you have a resizing tool in photoshop, you see I have a mac so im using a diffrent program other than photoshop.
sorry I couldnt be more help.

When I try to resize using corel photo they loose quality very quickly... I did not know if there was a way to maintain the original image before re-sizing.

I have searched everywhere for jfc banners... I do not want to link them to an ad! Just use only for blog purposes & myspace bulletins.

I don't have Corel Draw but see if this works...  The image you have is probably a .jpg or .gif.  Try to "save as.." a ".png" format first.  Then open the .png graphic and resize it.  You can actually do the whole thing in png and then when you have it the way you want it, save it a last time in .jpg and upload that to use online.  Png is a format that does a very good job in "keeping it's shape" when resizing.

Also, if you want to link to another banner but don't want to use their link it's easy...  Right click the image and choose "Copy Image Location".  This will give you something like "http://www.site.com/graphic.jpg" then create an html image code with the Image Location you copied as its href.  It will end up looking like:

Code Select Expand

<img src=""http://www.site.com/graphic.jpg"" width="760" height="90" align="middle" border="1">

If you want to use this banner as a link to something of your choosing then you can wrap it with your own link which will look something like...

Code Select Expand


<a href="http://www.johnfromcincinnati.net" target="_blank" title="johnfromcincinnati.net">
<img src=""http://www.site.com/graphic.jpg"" width="760" height="90" align="middle" border="1">
</a>

Is this helpful?  Do you need anything else?
