I am curious to know if Windstone minds if I use (hosting it on my site) their Windstone Editions banner (the one at the top of the page with The Art of M. Pena) on my website in order to link to Windstone Editions directly?
If not, would it be possible to make a banner or 2 of approximately the same size so that those of use with websites can use a pretty image to link to the Windstone website? I’d be happy to make something, but I was hoping I could modify the Windstone Editions banner so that the background is trasparent instead of black so I can put it on my webpage without it sticking out like a sore thumb 😀

(and also, I could see what site was leeching from me) So what you could do is save the Windstone banner to your own hard drive/server and upload it to your site and link the image from there 🙂

That’s why I included the (hosting it on my site) stipulation 😛 I may need to word it better, but what I meant was that I would save the image to my own website 🙂 I would have to make the background transparent as well so it would naturally be saved as a different file, I just need Windstone’s permission to do all this.

Jennifer, really, by now you should have realized that we don’t know what we are doing. But we do sorely need banners for sites to put up so maybe take a poll and find out what people might want, and be prepaired to have two sizes of each if possible?
June 30, 2011 at 3:45 am #849702XD You guys crack me up.
Woo hoo for banners!

Lots of people use text based links only, nothing wrong with that! Just want to offer the option of graphical links should anyone like them! 🙂
