Hi all!
I am new too, and very naive. I'm trying to learn what I can, but sometimes it seems I don't know enough to ask the questions! "Just go in that door there." Seems like a simple direction to follow, unless this is your first encounter with a door knob and you don't know what it is or how to work it or even that its the thing you've got to work to go through the door. Today, the topic is banners. Ignoramus giganticus. So-- the door knob is for opening the door. Can I buy my own at McDonald's? After I get my own, do I just point it at the doors I want to open and click it like a TV remote? I think I have a basic concept of what banner is. "Duh...that's a banner!" What is the source code? Is that even a valid question about banners? Thanks, Cara

Well about the door in the beginig part of your post you were talking about the door knob and by that, you don't know anything of it so therefore you start messing around with it and eventually you will get the hang of using it more until you get what does it do and how does it work. Well to me you aren't just going to admire it and look like a tard, anxiety and curiosity leads to knowing the unknown. Well it's a very good thing you are coming into artworld for the first time right. So just wanted to give you miy insight thoughts about that. Cheers. Hope you like it here. Have you check out the Music and movie forums well I just wanted to let you know I posted the underworld stuff, just in case you wanted to know. See yah.

Hehe, I think George W. Bush had about the same speech after having silly encounters with the door knob (couldnt open door in china in front of thousands of news reporters).
Banners... they seem to have come to a bitter extinct end as far as web clickability is concerned (if we ignore the flashy "you have a new message" banners). Personally I think the invention of the google contextual advertising and ability for webmasters to integrate it into the design of the site (even artworld is using it) is a big step forward. Unless you want banners like "10Oo0oO frE3 SM1LEyS! CLICK HERE OMG!" :chinese: :chinese: :chinese: |

That was hilarious, but I'm not a type of person too interested into politics nor very updated on this type of subject, and George W. Bush. SO, I wouldn't know much on the china, door knob thing, but anyway that was funny.

Ill try to find this clip on the internet, its freaking hillarious. Like most funny Bush clip of all time.
edit: nevermind, here it is! http://www.smithappens.com/video_bushchinadoor.php (once you see it imagine "the tonight show" version where they did a postproduction and wrote "push" on both doors lol) edit2: more of the same video in case the first one doesnt work: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8453234037911329910 or http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2684181?htv=12&htv=12 |

I'm still getting the hang of this forum. Its different from any I've been in before.
Har-de-har-har Zy-By!! If its the door to the bathroom, I'm not gonna mess around long before departing to seek another venue! And then of course, the base assumption that I recognize the door knob as significant and not just an anomaly. Eventually, I will figure it out, but messing around on the computer is not my favorite activity. It actually takes time away from what I like to do best and has to be fit in around other things that I need to do most. Yesterday morning I found about 12 ways to make an avatar that do NOT work. Like my riding coach said to me once, "You're running out of wrong ways to do it." So I continue to add to the database. I have to host a banner someplace, right? Cara |

No, I don't think you need to do that at all. You just need to conform to the size limits (both in pixels and kilobytes), then you upload it to the server in the control panel. Should work then. Please let me know if you have any problems for this.

See? The door knob thing! I got "pixels" and "KB," but "server" is very fuzzy and the only "control panel" I know comes in control top panty hose, and I don't "do" those, no sirree Bob!

Well, I fugured out that avatar thing. I don't know what I did differently except pick an image I didn't really want.
A doll maker in Nova Scotia at thrutheatticdoor.com told me what pixel size, so I have two images; 486x66 pixels and 246x66 pixels. So I've done SOMEthing even if it's not progress. The Universe tends toward entropy and I'm trying to do my share. Cara |

Well that's probably where the problem lies. Both those images are too big to be avatars on artworld, since it must be in an 90x90 pixel square. You have to resize the longer axis to 90 pixels and you will be able to upload each image.
If you need help doing this i can happily resize and upload the avatar for you - upload the image to http://www.imageshack.us and I'll make it happen. |

I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear, I realize now. Those pixel sizes were the size she told me for banners. I figured the avatar here was a different issue all together.
Whatever I've done with the avatar here, I'm getting the stupid batik heart to show on my screen. It seems to be retroactive. I have messed around with my dweeby baby steps photo editor and figured out how to get the pixel size exactly. A major coup for someone who is non-tech. Cara |
