Aleta - The Silly Bear Jan 28, 2009

A ginormous thank you to my dear friend, Brenda (Duffyantiques). She completely knocked me out of my chair and made me cry a couple of days ago! This is not a bad thing. This is a good thing! You see, she made me a banner for the 100 Bear Blog site of Paula's. I had no idea she was making one for me. It was a complete surprise and it's absolute perfection!! I couldn't have designed a better one for myself. Actually, she designed a better one than I ever could! What could be more perfect than my best dressed bears on a pink ground? Sometimes I think Miss Brenda knows me better than I know myself!!

Anyway, I just wanted to publicly thank Brenda for doing such a lovely thing for me. Brenda girlie, you ROCK!!

Okay, now let's see if I can post it here......and then get it on Paula's fab site!! HEY!! IT WORKED!!!
:dance: :dance: :dance:

Well, it worked here. I'm still scratching my head on how to get the banner onto Paula's site. Oh poo.

bear_wacko bear_whistle :lol:

I did finally figure it out after I went to Paula's original post, copied the instructions and then went step by step. The sad thing is, five year olds are faster on the computer than I am. I was having a dickens of a time linking the picture to site. I would copy the code and then try to paste it and it would disappear. What's up with that? After several disappearing acts I finally decided to manually input the information. It links now. We'll see if it actually registers anything besides a lovely little goose egg. Heehee

Now I have a jumbo size headache from beating my head against the screen. Remember that funny image (actually it was kind of a scary image) of the little red guy bashing himself against the keyboard and eventually kind of bleeding out? You know the one. Shelli posted it. Oh, maybe some of the newbies don't remember it. Annnnnyway.....that was me today. Time for a nap. I really should photograph some finished bears. Nah. Nap wins!

Warmest bear hugs, :hug:

Hi Aleta,
Thank you for such kind words and I'm sooo glad you like the banner. It was a lot of fun to make, now that I'm getting more comfortable with my Photoshop Elements program. I'm discovering new things all the time.
I also remember when I was new to Teddy-talk and didn't have an avatar (or even know what one was LOL) Our own brilliant Shelli, made one for me and I still remember the thrill of opening her unexpected email, with the gorgeous avatar she made for me. It's the one I still use - I love it. So, you see, now that I'm able to make avatars and banners on the computer I really wanted to "pay it forward" and it was great fun to showcase your gorgeous bears and what other colour could I possibly use but pink! bear_original Glad you were able to load it and it looks great on the 100 Top Bear Artists site! Take care,

PS I just realized this minute that one of the bears I used was your avatar bear! I never noticed it when I made the banner - that's cool!

hugs,

Brenda

Lovely banner Brenda and Aleta! You girls make an awesome team! bear_thumb

So pleased your banner made its way to the 100 Best Bear Artist Blogs site Aleta, it's looking great! Now, if you can just work out how to add the 100 BBBlog logo with your unique user id (it's in the registration email you received) you'll be able to register your hits from your blog to the 100 site and that will help you in the rankings. Just in case you need them, there are full details for adding the logo and the logo itself (right click and 'save as picture' to your computer) in my original thread about the site. bear_flower
