Nice banner. Looks good.

[dougw]

Took me a few hours, then maybe a week to get back to it after reviews!

gotta credit Aaron with this one, he beat me to it. :dj:

Nice Banner!

[dougw]

Thanks then Aaron! I think the only thing we have left if the title of the page. Not sure exactly yet how we want to word that. 57? Anyone!

Nice job on the banner. It has a CTA, which they say improves click thru.

My two cents, Tiger is a hybrid of the Northern and Muskie and there's a lot of interest in Pike, but no forum.

Tiger blood - would span the gap and also the two chapters. Like parentage, brotherhood.

I'm no authority, maybe there's some other term that could also mean both?

[dougw]

Had to think about it for a second. The only problem I see with Tiger Blood, is that it may draw a negative connotation. I think Aaron (or Mike, whichever renamed for us!) chose the right title. I am very happy with how the banner turned out. I would have added either more photos, or more resolution, but alas..... Didn't want the file size too big...... This was my first attempt at building a banner. I t was fairly straight forward.

Thanks Doug and Aaron for getting the banner up so quick, and it looks good. Hopefully everyone is happy with the way it came out....

Always get dinged for my lack of PCness! Tiger Peeps or Tiger Blood, Blood wins.

Fishin Pike, I've ended up a blood brother to many a fish.

Wish I had a buck for every fish head I cut off over the first 50 of my 60 years. Surrender gracefully, those things of youth.

Getting back on track, I didn't mean to hijack the post, just got off on a tangent. What animation software did you use? I'm not that thrilled with what I use.

[dougw]

Actually, I used GIMP to put it all together. When you get finished with the layers, you save it as an animated .gif file. It will ask for options, such as the animation, delay, etc. Pretty simple really. Free product as well. Let me know if you decide to try it I will give you a hand learning it. I have used GIMP for maybe 10 years, but never really for more than reducing photo resolution and cropping. I would say it rivals Photoshop in power and versatility if you know what you are doing. I don't even pretend to know everything you can do with it. Pretty useful for a free application.

[YJ Guide Service]

Must be craig lol.....but its the second pic lol

[dougw]

Craig, you mean the second to the last picture! That would be me! LOL!

[YJ Guide Service]

No actually i was right its the second one not the second from the end lol i dont know who that is lol....

[sparky1doug]

Maybe its the angle of the pictures or the lighting but the Chapter 57's fish appear to be larger than those of the 60's.

Well when you have 5 times the members but only a third of the number of fish caught in half the time i guess it would look like that lol...love you man....I forgot to ask why isnt your picture in there doug? plus if you notice your pics are closer to the camera and your members arms are stretched out all the way. you know the camera adds five lbs when you do that....lol
