3. Probably. Plus, I'd change the color of Logan, Xantha and Sybil's labels

Edited on Tue Dec-02-03 05:49 PM by Richardo

to black or white. Not as fun, but much easier to read, and they're great names. :thumbsup:

5. Well you can cut the size of the file in 1/2 by

using a low jpg setting. Your orig was 36K and the below is 17K

14. They are all old and don't like to be photoed....

Logan is about half-feral that I took in so he is just onery.

Mariko is 17 and sleeps for 21 hours a day.

Sybil is about 10.

Tonka is about 10 years old and I woke him up to take the pic.

Xantha is probably about 14 and she never did like having her pic taken.

12. it's too wide for my screen

But it's a great picture. Maybe you could make it a bit smaller.

16. Yes, it's too wide

and too high. I set my browser to what I consider a normal width for viewing all normal sized websites, and your graphic is wider than that.

Sig lines should not dominate the thread; they are there to enhance, like a nicely placed earring or pin.

And I agree with the other poster - the labels on the first three cats are barely legible.

Too big? Too small? Just right?

18. I think that'll do size-wise - it could go smaller, but probably fine

just as it is.

The names are still difficult to read, though - especially the first two, try making their names white (maybe even outlined in black). Also, use a sans serif font and reduce the size on all of them. Less is more, as they say.

Then I think you'll have something really bitchin'.
