Craig you need to correct it slightly too

it should be 'And I can teach you too!!!'

Have been working on the advertising pages & here is the one for the south west;

http://www.balloonchat.co.uk/southwest.html

if you then click on the advert it goes straight through to your websites,when sending me your adverts please state what area you would like your advert to be in, you can choose more than one.

Have also been updating the map, please let me know if you see any mistakes or have some suggestions for improving the text.

Just added Craig's advert & using it only as an example I think there is too much info in the advert for it to be clear for the size of the advert, less may be more & all the extra points will hopefully be read when they click through to your website.

It's lookiing good so far Graham - I shall get something together after Christmas

Hi Graham,
 could you add this if comes out the right size!!!

Hi Graham,
Just knocked this one up on photoshop - Any good?

The free advertising that is going on the site is also open to those who don't have a website, just put the details on the advertising card with email or contact phone number or you can just have text details which will appear underneath the main large adverts.
Will also be putting a click through for europe & usa so please send over any advert for these as well.
The size of the advert is not so important now as I've found an easy way to re-size the advert down but do try & make the advert so that it's readable  :lol:

Danny's advert;

Krazy Kev advert;

We are going to try & put the advertising pages all on tomorrow although at the moment we will have a lot of empty areas as I only have 8 adverts so hopefully when it's up others will quickly send in a few more
Don't forget that this is free at the moment but hoping eventually to charge a small fee to help cover the forum costs etc.
The biggest laugh about this is that I made my advert in powerpoint am an unable to save it in photoshop for the web :oops:
So it's back to the drawing board for me as I try & quickly make one so that it can go on tomorrow.
If anyone wants to advertise in more than one area you can, just let me know PM & I'll change things.
The first picture is what I sent to my web design guy & the second is the button he's made for the site.
If I'm honest, I think it's been worked on too much & looks like a computer energised picture & not a real balloon sculpture but will do for the moment.

Have just added the advertising pages
Hoping for a rush of emails to my inbox soon
If you do find something not working on them then please let me know.

Graham,

Re your PowerPoint advert.

You can save a JPEG from Powerpoint. Select JPEG in the 'Save as type' box at the bottom of the 'Save as' dialog box that you get to from the File menu).

You can re-size if you need to in a graphics app such as Photoshop.

Hope this helps,
Martin.

Graham, very impressive!  I did find one problem... I didn't see "The Back of Beyond" listed on your map...    You know... the area "I" live and work in.  :lol:

Hi Bonnie, The idea eventually is to have a link for Europe, America etc but not in regions. Slightly more simplistic, but I think this should be done as we have members from all over the world.

Graham shall i post the add hear or e-mail to you  :?
