Spent some time today to spread word around the site about the 2009 Calendars.  I spent a lot of time to think up and create the design so I hope people sign up to get em. 

Last year, I thought of the idea to make the calendar a surprise, so I didn't say what it was or even post a picture of how it looked.  I really do like the design, so I thought it was a better idea to show people what I'd be giving them.  Maybe people wouldn't think they'd be interested unless they saw it - and maybe when they see it, they'll think its cool.  I liked the design so much, that I even have a special item I made with the design just for myself and one other friend.

I put up some temporary banners to help promote the 2009 calendars for now.  I found a neat JS code that makes a smaller pic grow to bigger size when the mouse rolls over it.  Only thing about it, is that whe the image gets bigger, it moves all other elements out of the way with it - rather than dropping down over it.  The JS code is by John Scheuer and I found it on Dynamic Drive.  I have to say, I have some hesitation that it might make the page load slower for users with dialup and slow connections.  I really can't know for sure though, because I have Comcastic High Speed Internet - so everything is fast for me.  I think the web pages may be building up a lot of bloat.  If its too much, I hope that doesn't turn people away.

Elsewhere, I added some new smilies to the Talk Boards - including creating one of the Specialty Gamer logo.  Making a smilie of the SpGa logo is something I've put off for a long time.

Here is the new smilies added:

And I removed three stupid smilies that I don't think anyone uses.
