I was just passing the time and found a cool program to make banners with. Here's my Reece banner:

[Logan]

That is wonderful, Aly!!!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

[RachelJ]

Aly, that is so cool . I LOVE it. How did you do it?
Your "saying" reminds me of the one I associated with my dear departed Bailey
"In my heart of hearts you are my love of loves."

[aly]

Rachel, there's a program called Selteco Bannershop. Its great and easy to learn how to use.

I just grabbed some pics off here and made a Pet Talk banner real fast. If anyone wants me to add dogs or take a dog off or switch their pics, let me know. I'm still searching for photos of the ones that I missed. I'll update it if I find them.
(I think this takes a really long time to load on a modem). Yeah, opps, its 4.39 mb and just took a friend almost 5 minutes to load on a 56k modem. If you have patience, it is worth the wait though http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

[Logan]

I can't open the second banner, Aly. I'm going to try your link. I just keep getting the red X in a box. What am I doing wrong?

[aly]

BaSim: It has a 30 day evaluation period but I'm thinking about buying it. Its addicting and fun. Show us your banners when you're done.

Logan: Try this address for the big banner. It may take awhile to load.. http://www.swt.edu/~aw1024/pettalkers.gif

[jackiesdaisy1935]

[aly]

To make it fade, click on the Frame menu then click on Intro or Outro animation and you can choose the effects.

Aly,
I just downloaded that site and walked away. It took 45 minutes!!!!! Of course, after all that waiting, now it shows up on your original post too!! Can't wait for my cable modem. Just two more weeks. But it was worth the wait and I watched On Golden Pond while it was going on. I love all of them!!! Basim and Aly, you do good work!!!!

[aly]

Here is the website of the program: http://www.selteco.com/
It is a free 30 day evaluation period then you have to buy it if you want to use it more.

ownerof3dogs: I remember searching around for some of your doggy pics but I never found any http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif Like KayAnn, I would be happy to make more for anyone http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Its a lot of fun.

[Meow101]

Okay, thanks. That is just too bad you can only do it free for 30 days! I'm going to try one..

[BoxerLover]

Basim or Aly?
Could you make one for Nikki? There were some pics of her that I posted earlier, you might have to go back a while, though. I am not that good with computers, I dont even know how to post pics, I had Jojo do it for me. If you have time, could you? Thank you!

~Erika and Nikki~

[aly]

BoxerLover: I'd love to do it http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif I'm out the door to work right now but I'll do it when I get in this evening. I'm sure BaSim will want to do one too. I think I remember Nikki and she's beautiful. I'll do a search for her pics when I get home.

I'm also working on some for you ownerof3dogs.

Logan I just clicked on your page and got a message that there are no albums for public display.

[Logan]

I realized that after I posted the message! That's why I deleted it. You are too quick, Pam! I've sent an e-mail to webshots to try and figure out how to change it to a public viewing. I want a banner too!! Hopefully they'll get back to me quickly. I just couldn't figure out how to do open it back up. Sorry!!!
Logan

My replies aren't posting tonight. But Jackie helped me. Here is my link: http://community.webshots.com/user/lgivens4

[aly]

Sorry I didn't get to the banners last night. When I got home, I saw Reece had chewed right through my ethernet cord! He was also yelping nonstop and chewed the door frame to my room (thats where I keep him when I leave). This is a severe relapse of his seperation anxiety for no apparent reason http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif I never want to crate him when I leave so I'd been leaving him in my room and that was working for awhile.. until last night. I crated him today when I had to leave and when I got home, all his blankets were pushed to the back and he was just sitting there. I've been trained by the dog behaviorist at the humane society how to deal with seperation anxiety. I was happy because it took a lot of work, but seemed to be working. I have no idea what could have caused this relapse. He's almost as bad as he was the first day I had him.

Anyway, I'll be working on all those banners now http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

[aly]

Here are the banners I just finished. I'm still working on a Honey/Lilly banner.

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/nikki.gif

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/3dog.gif

[aly]

This is for a dog I was really close to at the humane society. She had to be put down http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif I am having a hard time accepting it.

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/goldie.gif

[Sudilar]

Aly,
Goldilocks was a beautiful dog. Is it too painful to ask what happened to her? If you can't talk about it, I understand.

[Logan]

Ok!! Jackie is wonderful and told me what to do to make my album public. So, now it is!!! I would absolutely love a banner, doesn't matter what it looks like, but I'd be so happy if one of you banner making people would do it for me!!!

Thanks in advance.
Logan

PS. And the rest of you go there too, and enjoy the pictures. I'll have more in there soon.
http://community.webshots.com/user/lgivens4

[Pam]

Logan, Your album is terrific. Keep those photos coming. I would love to see more when you get them. It was nice finally meeting the tiniest members of the family too. Love the pocket pet picture. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

[*BaSim*]

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Logan, your album is great, You have quite a fur family there. Honey looks laid back and Lily looks like she might run the show. Mimi and Butter are precious. Evelyn and Phoebe are so cute, little pocket pets. Of course your daughter is beautiful, how lucky to have such a nice family.

[RachelJ]

KayAnn, I wish I lived near you. I would love to go to the shelter with you. Like you, I would probably "fall in love" every time I went as well. Blink looks quite a bit like Simba and has those same expressive eyes.

Aly, I would love to volunteer with you at the shelter, but I don't know if I could stand a broken heart like you must have right now. You're still so fragile from Harley and now this with Goldilocks...I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself.

Sudilar - Even though we are no kill, we are occasionally faced with the heart wrenching decision of quality of life for a dog. In extreme temperment cases or bad health, it is tearfully debated about the best thing for the dog. I hate euthanization but the people at the humane society do not take it lightly and I can respect them for their decisions because they are genuinely upset. We had Goldilocks for about 5-6 months back in the Pre-Adopt room. She never made it out to the adoption area because we were trying to adopt her out the back door to an incredibly experienced person. A rescue promised and promised they would take her but every time they had space open up, they would run to the kill shelter in town and fill up again. I think that's good of them but I wish they hadn't gotten our hopes up that Goldie would be getting out of that kennel finally.

The first of Goldie's temperment problems was SEVERE child agression. I saw one of her tests. She was on a leash, and a little girl came into the room and Goldie went absolutely insane. I have never seen anything like it. She was lunging, snarling, barking, and growling. She was one of the dogs I had been working closely with. When we were alone, she was such a wonderful dog. I trusted her so much, I'd always lay my head on her stomach when we got done playing. There was only so much time I could spend with her though, and it wasn't enough. She began showing signs of stress from being in the shelter for too long, pacing, spinning circles, lunging at the bars, the wall, at nothing even. She was just so frusterated and not happy. About a month and a half ago she was temperment tested with two experienced dog behaviorists two times. Each time she tried to bite one of them a few times. They decided she might be too much of a threat to people so they tried to get her into a drug dog program. She didn't have what they needed in a drug dog so she was rejected. It was then debated and since she was deteriorating so bad, they decided the most humane thing would be to put her to sleep.

I had such a special bond with the dog that it is so hard for me to accept. I've talked to several people at the shelter and they help me out a lot. Whatever Goldie's experiences in life before the shelter were make me so mad. Maybe it was no one's fault, but if it was I feel sick to my stomach. I guess I am looking for someone to blame because it was such a bad, hurtful situation.

I also just got news about Lassen, a dog we had for months. He was so wonderful and he finally got adopted. I didn't think they'd have any problems with him because we had him through extensive training and he knew sit, stay, come, roll over, shake, beg, etc. He was a great dog but I just got an email that he will be euthanized tomorrow because he bit their 2 yr old and 14 yr old twice. I am no tsure the details but this kills me too because we never had any bite problems from him before.. ever.

Sorry this is so long. Venting all this out helps me a little bit. I hope I didn't depress or upset anyone.

[Sudilar]

Thank you, Aly, for telling us what happened. I could understand your frustration because Goldie was so loving to you. I, also, would be devastated and angry to wonder what had been done to this poor dog to make him that way. He did exhibit a dangerous side of him in his reaction to a child and that was very serious. Nothing you could have done would have changed that. You showed him love and caring; at least he had that. I see how very hard it is to work rescue. You are an angel to do it!
Sue

[shais_mom]

Aly, it takes a special person, to work at the shelter like you. I have thought of doing it, but don't think I could take it.
My dad had to return a GSD back to the breeder many years ago, shortly after they got married, b/c he was so protective of my dad he wouldn't let anyone near him, not even my mom. He chased her around the car one day and kept yelling for my dad to make him stop and he was laughing to hard!!! My mom is not a brave person when it comes to dogs anyway and this was the final straw!!!
The breeder gave the dog to the army and they used him as a service dog.
BaSim, excellent job on the banners!!! Very Very Good!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

Wow, what cool banners! I think I will download that program! Here's a new banner I just made a few minutes ago for www.petlinkexchange.com (http://www.petlinkexchange.com) but it would be much cooler if I had some flashing words or something, lol. I had an animation program that I could have used but the trial expired. Hey, about how long (56k) does it take to download the program? Oh, and I can't remember what code to use to post a pic...help please...so now I'm just posting a link. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=253035&a=11352475&p=47946040

And Wolf Q, I tried the link, but there was only a banner at the top and not the picture. I was going to try and post it for you. So here goes. Go to the picture you want. Make sure you open it all the way up. Then right click on the picture. Click on properties. Then copy the url you see there. Come back to your reply in Pet Talk. Type in , then paste the url you copied. Then type at the end. Make sure you have no spaces. That should work.
Email me if I can help.

Thank you so much Aly for make the banner it is great. I would have posted earlier but I was having Internet problems http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/frown.gif

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Aly, bless your precious, dog loving heart! I actually cried when I saw my Cody and Star up there!! And the banner title...Best Buds at Pet Talk! Oh, I'm gonna start balling! Best 4 legged buds AND human buds! What a kind, kind thing for you to do Aly! For those of us how are, shall we say, not nearly as adept at these things, it means so much! I actually intend to put Logan in my will for teaching me how to post pics. and sending me to Webshots!! LOL! Thanks again. I think you may be a bit overwhelmed with banners requests, so when I have time I have to try and dowload the program and take a stab at it! Star and Cody send lots of licks and hugs for making them such a special part of Pet Talk! Reece is just the cutest! Ahhhhh, I want to kiss that little face!!

I am so, so sorry about Goldilocks. Crying again. What a wonderful, selfless job you do caring for and loving all the beautiful creatures. And with all you've gone through lately, I just can't imagine the inner strength you must have. Please, as Rachel said, take care of yourself as well.

The banners are so beautiful! Logan, just look at those Golden Girls in all their southern glory! Star and Cody are soooooo jealous!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

I went to the site and downloaded banner-maker and everything but how do you make it look so cool, with rainbow backgrounds and fades and stuff? is there a help wizard??

[tatsxxx11]

OMG, OMG, OMG! Oh, Aly. It's so hard on this darn machine, but I can't tell you how grateful I am for the time and effort you put into making them soooo beautiful! I'm in tears! Truly!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Star and Cody say thank you too. And please give the precious little Reece and Shiloh kisses and hugs. Their little faces are plastered in my brain! That Reece is just too cute! I think of Harley every day, and say a little prayer at night that he is happy and safe. And of course, I think of you and how sad you must be. I always find that when I am very sad or down or depressed, helping others lifts the sadness a bit and makes me feel better. You are a very special person. Love Sandra

[wolf_Q]

Oh! I forgot to tell you guys about this cool thing I discovered (maybe you've already
heard about it but I hadn't..) It's called the Pet Link Exchange. You have to put a
banner on your website, in exchange you get your banner put onto that banner (if that
makes any sense) I've only had the banner on my website for a few days and my
banner's exposure is 929, that means it's been shown on the banner 285 times a day.
You can see the banner at the bottom of my website (it's quite small, and you can
choose from 3 sizes) http://www.geocities.com/wolf_q/home.html Oh and the best
part...it's FREE! Your website just has to be about pets. I can help anyone make a
banner that size too if you need me too! Just thought I'd tell you about it!~~Amy

karlicat: the rainbow backgrounds and stuff I searched around for on the web.. the best way to learn is just to play around with it. Thats how I figured out what to do.

I tried copy and paste, retyping the "address" with IMG, etc., but it doesn't work. I can attach them into email though. I have them stored in a folder on my computer. Thanks. If you're busy, no problem. It's fun trying to figure it out; sort of! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

[aly]

Where are you tying to paste them? In a message on these boards? If you are, do you have them uploaded to webshots or photopoint?

If you don't, put one on webshots and then try to paste using the thing. IF that doesnt work, let me know and I'll try to help further [img]http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Thanks Aly. Dumby!! Meaning ME http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif) Yes, I meant I was trying to paste them here. I see some others paste their little images with their messages; that's what I was trying to do. I'll try putting them into Webshots and give it a try. Does it make a difference if it's gif not jpg?? Thanks so much.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

tats, I don't think it should make a difference if it's jpg or gif, when I put some on from my web site I use both.
Jackie

[aly]

It doesn't make a difference as long as you copy the address right and it will say .gif instead of .jpg

[karlicat]

why can i not figure out how to do different backgrounds on the banner thingy?????

[karlicat]

O YAY SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT, YESTERDAY WAS HALF-DAY #1 FOR 1ST AND 2ND EXAMS, NOW TOMORROW IS HALF-DAY #2, FOR 3RD AND 4TH EXAMS, AND THEN SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY I COULD PEE ON THE CARPET LIKE POCO http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif (just kidding on that last one, there http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif)

[*LabLoverKEB*]

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO YOU MAKE THE BANNERS???? http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif
I need some serious help! And, do you have to have a scanner to get pics on the banners? I saw one with pics of past Dogs of the Day!!

[karlicat]

You have to go to a site and download it, it only takes a minute, and i think the sites name is on page 2 of this topic. You just have to go to a site with pictures, find the pics you want, right-click and select Save Image and make sure you save them all in one file, and import them to it. its called Selteco. and you can use the Wizard to help you.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Forget it!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/rolleyes.gif I'll never get this down!! Thanks anyway! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

[aly]

karlicat, to get a background for a banner, just find a pic you want to use and save it to your computer. You can find some good ones by searching for 'free backgrounds' or 'free graphics' and a bunch of sites will come up. Then just import the image into Selteco. You can select it and copy it and paste it several times to tile it or you can stretch it or do what you want to do. Just play around with it some and you'll find a way you like,

[sammi]

aly, I think LabLoverKEB needs some help. Can you help her? You are so good at this!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Thanks sammi! I do need some help!! Aly- Can you help me? Please!!!

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Someone help me with making the banners!!!!!!! I haven't a CLUE on how to do it!!! Help!!

[aly]

LabLover, have you downloaded Selteco yet? If you haven't, download it here: http://www.selteco.com/

After that, open the program and do the step by step tutorial. It will be one of the options on the first screen. You can also do the animation wizard. This will help you learn the basics. If that doesn't help, I will be happy to help you with any questions that you have.

[aly]

I just made this from your tag line Sudilar http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

[Sudilar]

OH MY GOSH, ALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are just so WONDERFUL!!!!!
I simply LOVE it. You are one special lady!!!! Thank you so very, very much. Killian and Shiloh thank you, too. Great big slobbery kisses from the "rescues." You just don't know how thankful I am. This is great!
Sue

[Sudilar]

Is there a way to cut the pic down in size and use it as my signature? Thank you again, Aly!

[aly]

Glad you liked it http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif Is this size okay?

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/adopt1.gif

I resize photos using Irfanview, a great free program.

Here's another size.

[Sudilar]

Thank you again and again, Aly. It is perfect! You are a genius!

[Sudilar]

Which size is better?

------------------
http://swt.edu/~aw1024/adopt12.gif

[Logan]

I think the smaller one is probably better for the site, Sue, but frankly, I like the larger one so we can see those beautiful dogs a little better!!

[Sudilar]

I think you're right, Logan, after all the main thought is Save a Life, with a little bonus of showing off my dogs (even if you need a magnifying glass to see them!)LOL
(Thanks, Aly)

We should rename this "Aly's Tutorial Page!" Well, I tried uploading my banner and little pic. They are filed in a picture folder on my computer. I selected that folder while in the Add Photo mode. When I opened the folder, the banner etc. were not shown to be there! After a lot of attempts at moving the files around into other folders, etc., I noticed that all the images that I was unable to upload to Webshots were gif! All the images jpg were available. HUH?? I can attach them to email. Just can't move them into Webshots! Any suggestions? Thanks!

[aly]

There's 2 things you can do:

1. When you click Add Photo then Browse on webshots and the screen comes up to choose your photo, check below the file name box and select the All Files option in the drop down menu. Then all your files should show up so you can select one.

2. Open the gif in an image viewing program and do Save as. Choose jpg from the drop down menu where it says 'Save as type'.

Hopefully one of those ways will work for you.

[tatsxxx11]

Thanks Aly. I'm entering the punch drunk stage and staggering around the room! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif Will try!

Aly, I downloaded the Irfanview program and it is AWESOME . In virtually minutes I did what it would have taken me hours to do using PhotoPoint's editing tools. And it beats my PhotoDeluxe software, hands down. You can even look at all the pictures on your hard drive in a slide show. I'm sure there is a lot of other stuff I haven't even figured out how to do yet. It is easy to use too. Thanks for telling us about this. Anybody who who has digital pictures stored in a folder in their computer, should really download this software.

[aly]

I agree Rachel. That program is great, especially since its free! That's why I tell people about it a lot. Very easy to use too.


Oh and I'm sooo happy. I just won an auction on ebay for a digital cam! YAY! I'm gonna throw the scanner out the window!

[aly]

Thats weird. The pic uploaded to webshots fine for me.. Hmm, let me think on that one.

Testing:

aly-
Could you make me a little box thing like you made for Sudilar? I want one!!!

[aly]

Sure, what do you want yours to say?

[margaret]

Hi aly!
Can you help me, oh Banner Guru?
I recently downloaded the Selteco banner software, and I was able to MAKE a banner, but I'm having trouble putting the HTML code in correctly into my website. That is, I copied and pasted the HTML code for the banner, but it still won't show on my website. Here's what I copied:

<IMG SRC="SaimaMiko.gif" WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60 BORDER=0 ALT="">

Now, I guess here's where I run into trouble: Selteco warns that "*Before you publish your page you need to adjust SRC= attribute to correct path of the gif file."

I can't figure out what the correct path is. Right now banner is saved at:
C:\My Documents\My Pictures\SaimaMiko.htm

How to I insert the path "correctly" after SRC? I am HTML-ignorant, obviously!

Does all that make sense? Can you help me?


------------------
~Margaret

[margaret]

Never mind, aly!!! I was able to figure it out with my little pea-brain! I simply needed to change the ".htm" to ".gif" at the end of "C:\My Documents\My Pictures\SaimaMiko"

YAY! In case you or anyone is curious, the banner is on the bottom of my "Cool Links" page on my cats' website (yes cats. Sorry, no dogs on there!): http://margabr.homestead.com

http://wsphotofews.excite.com/025/8L/KU/Dn/rG60915.jpg Well, there is a notice up at my site in Webshots that says they are having difficulty adding photos. But, I changed the "type" from gif to bitmap on my computer, and it uploaded fine. Let see!

[Logan]

Sandra,
It looks great! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

[aly]

Do you want a banner of Hunter or just a little picture thing?

[*LabLoverKEB*]

aly, Can you make me one too? I would really like one! Please!!!

[aly]

Sure.. you wanted a little pic like I made Sue or did you want a banner?

If you want a pic, what do you want it to say?

[This message has been edited by aly (edited May 25, 2001).]

[*LabLoverKEB*]

aly, I'm not sure what I want it to say! Can you help me think of something? I also want a pic on it! Since I want one now, and don't have a scanner hooked so I could scan a pic of Sadie, is it possible to change it when I get my scanner hooked up? Thanks! Can you please help me think of something to say on it?

[JKRJG24]

Can you make a pic thing?

[karlicat]

Hey every1, since i am on Summer Vacation, i could make a couple banners too.

[aly]

Here's one of Hunter. Feel free to make requests (if you want me to change the wording or background or anything). I'm getting stumped on ideas.

Let me know also if you want me to resize it.

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/hunter.gif

LabLover, I haven't forgotten about you. I will make you a pic of some sort then when you get pics of Sadie scanned, I'll add her picture in place of the other. I'll also make you a banner.

aly-
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!!!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif So sorry I din't post a thank you earlier! I absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!! Well, the scanner is hokked up, my dad is just having trouble with it...... he got the pic scanned into "Paper Port", I just don't know how to get it to here! Oh, and it is colar! I din't know that it would be colar! I'm glad it is. You can't really see Sadie very well, though, since she's black! Thanks again!!! Oh, and, aly- how do I get the Sadie May box you made me into the signature box thingy? baecause I want to make it part of my signature!

------------------
***Sadie May and LabLover***

[aly]

Right click the picture and save it to your computer. Then upload it to webshots and add it to your signature using the way I described in your help!!! topic.

http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Lemme know if you have problems.

Glad you like it http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

[RachelJ]

LabLover, If you accidently post several times, you can always go back and delete those extra posts. See the edit/delete option? Click on that and then look for the little box, I think it is in the upper left corner which you should check if you want to delete a post.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

aly, Is there any possible way YOU could do it for me? If you can make it part of my signature for me, would you do it please? http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/confused.gif I don't know how to do it! I don't understand!

------------------
***Sadie May and LabLover***

[aly]

Well I would have to know your password so let me resize the pic then I'll email you exact instructions. You can just copy and paste what I send you to your signature part.

Ok, I resized the pic. I'll just post here what you should do since you don't have your email listed.

When you go to edit your signature, put in the following code:

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/sadiemay2.gif

The only thing you need to do differently is take out the spaces after and before

Thanks aly! I hope this works!

http://swt.edu/~aw1024/sadiemay2.qif

[aly]

Thats right but you accidently put .qif at the end instead of .gif
make the 'q' a 'g' and it should work!
