If I send you a banner and you don't know how to place it on your Open Salon Blog, maybe this tutorial I made will help you, "Get er' Done!"

Banner placement tutorial part two

... Well, I hope this clears the Voo-Doo up for some of you. It's really not all that hard and it would have been helpful if OS had something like this on their, "How To," page, (or maybe if they HAD a how to page..)

So, now you know :) -Ric

Ric,
Your computin' skills are becoming legendary at the OS. You've explained it, so even I can do it. If I can do it a Marmoset can do it.

Thanks Bro! M

Ric makes Marmoset banners? Who knew?

I'm sure this will come in handy for quite a few folks, Ric. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post it! You're a wonder.

Great stuff, Ric! Other posts along comparable lines include the tags "OS tips" or "OS user manual" or both, to help people find them.

gracielou sez "I'm trying to decide if I am a marmoset or a beaver?"

Maybe you're a beavoset?

That would be a wet beavoset, to you, Mr. Gallant...

As always, Ric, stellar and selfless. Thanks for the tune pimpin' too.

Ric, okay, the powers that be need to hire you RIGHT NOW, and pay you big bucks to be the technical support, how-to guy for OS. You are one of the most amazing and generous people around!

I can't help you the other end of computing. Graphics is my game.

Awesome instructions and screenprints, Ric. Plus, it's just plain swell that you included one of Lonnie's songs. :)

I want to thank you publicly Ric for my beautiful banner that you created for me. Such a beautiful gift of generosity. I didn't ask, you saw the need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I think it is awesome that you make banners. I don't know the first thing about how to do it. And 990 x 125? Can't find a "standard" banner like that. Thanks for being a resource here. I would donate to you if you could design for me.
