In Search Of The Great "What's Happening, Vegas?" Banner

Nevins at Barter My Skills has done it again with my new neat animated tumbling dice banner!! Nevins also designed my blogger header above. Picture of the Excalibur was provided by the talented photographer Laura over at the Noodle Incident.

Thanks again, Nevins, you are a genius!

I recommend that you use Nevins' skills, and tell him Mike sent you :) :

In Search Of The Great Blog Header Continued

Nevins at Barter My Skills just made my day by fixing my blogger header so it is readable. Nevins offers to barter his skills, but I have no skills to barter, so I will make a donation. Nevins is so skilled that he was able to fix my header immediately. I've asked others with Computer Science degrees and IT training to look at it and they just shook their heads.

Nevins made me feel that my blog was blog of the day!

Nevins is such a nice guy, get to know him and use his services:

In Search Of The Great Banner Donor - Update

I want to thank Laura from The Noodle Incident for providing an excellent photo (see above) of the Excalibur, which I have "partially" (see discussion below) used as a first step in replacing my old header. I'm still looking forward to seeing her other night photos and have maybe committed myself to a dinner for two when she and her husband next visit our currently somewhat frigid city.

I am forever grateful to her for helping me find a new "look". The work is not completed, however. I've tried to contact the template author (since I do not speak XML) with some ideas on how to make my header panel banner larger, so you can see and appreciate more of Laura's photo. John from Cute Vegas Map is ever on the ready to help with improved text overlays (it is still hard to read my tag line) and possibly some cool animation to boot.

One of my greatest faults is that I am too impatient: I had to try the new banner on for size, and I still need to talk to the experts out there - it will be a step by step process, but who knows, maybe I'm just Vegas trippin'? Someday God, please, my own domain!

Actually, it is a major improvement, and with everybody helping me, how can I lose? I wish I could say the same about my gambling experiences.

Search For The Great "What's Happening, Vegas?" Banner Donor

I am in the process of upgrading my blog header banner ( or masthead ) to make it more visually appealing. My friend John from Cute Vegas Map has offerred his advanced flash animation skills, but what we are missing is a high quality night skyline picture of Las Vegas for the backdrop.

Maybe you can help!

John has posted a request for pictures in several Las Vegas forums, including:

• Travel 2 Vegas
  
• Vegas Message Board
  
• Las Vegas Talk
  

We have received some really nice photos in a short time, but we need more choices for the final pick. You may mail me at Yahoo.com (mike_l_fisher) or John at webmaster@cutevegasmap.com with your photos.

This is not a contest, but we are accepting photos for the next few weeks. I know that there are lots of readers who come to Vegas with their digital cameras! Whomever is chosen will definitely be praised; and given credit; and linked to; and adopted (?)and perhaps taken to dinner on their next trip to Vegas!
