Sorry to have been so absent lately, guys -- I had serious computer problems (I'm on my second new computer in two weeks) and I could only get here for a few minutes most days. Looks like I'm back to normal now, or at least as close to normal as I get.

So, now that you've had a chance to settle in -- got any requests for improvements, additions, changes? (I've got several things still on my To Do List, but it's short enough to start adding to it again.

)

Oh Great High Muckety-Muck,

Looking good so far.

Just out of curiosity, if we come up with more ideas for smileys, can you design them? The ones I imported were drawn for me by a dear lady who is gone now. And I certainly wouldn't want to take up your time.

Is there such thing as smiley software? Is it downloadable from somewhere?

I don't know how to design smileys myself, alas -- it's one of the things on my To Do Someday list, but that's probably far in the future, after I learn enough coding to put bells and whistles on this place.

Maybe there are some banners mavens here who would be interested in branching out? I'll start a thread here in Fred about it.

As far as I know, you need a graphics program such as Photoshop, Paint, etc. Here's a few tutorials on how to get started, I don't know how useful they are:

You can find more of them by Googling "smilies tutorial create".
