DO NOT LINK TO THE FOLLOWING IMAGES - I WILL BE REMOVING THEM SHORTLY!!!

If these forums are to become an integral part of the Internet for DIYers then we are all going to have to do our bit to advertise its availability. That means if you have a web site you could help a lot by putting a simple banner with a link on.

I have been playing around with some ideas for banners, and offer the following for your thoughts:

If you want to grab a copy of any of these images please right-click on them and select "Save Picture As...".

Good point. Glad to see you are still awake.

I run another web site which isn't publicised or linked from my handyman web site. These forums are linked from that web site.

Thank you.

You know, it's odd. I spend years of my life doing web design as a primary income source and not one person comes forward to say "that web site is fscking great!".

So I change career to do something completely different, and knock up a web site to advertise that new career. Subsequently every effing person that visits the web site sends me a message to tell me how wonderful the web site is!

Maybe I should change careers to be a life insurance salesman or sommat. Then I'll get loadsa comments about how wonderful the loft boarding is that I've just done as a life insurance salesman.... Wink
