That is so cool -- the new site banner! I like it very much! I like the way you keep the basic -- the fiddlerman's portrait and fiddlerman.com but change the background! Wait till I show it to my daughter:)

One thing I always tried to do was to make pages that load quickly. I know of at least on person on the forum on a dial-up connection. If you make pictures too large (file size, not so much physical size) and put music in the background it would take a long time to load. You really don't want your home page to be a slow load for the people on dial-up. It is easy to forget how slow 56k is.lol

I realize this David. This week I am also working on mySql database to find out what is the greatest strain on loading these pages. I want to speed up the site considerably.

I received these real nice drawings from Pky's daughter today and want to share them with you all. Thinking of using one of them for a future monthly banner. Which do you guys like the most?

Well nice halloween banner…

And pky, how old is your daughter again? She's really creative. I really like the first drawing.

What a neat surprise the new banner was! Very cool, I like how you kept the basic elements and added the Halloween theme. Great Job

 

Also, pky's daughter's drawings are very fun. I like the violin by itself.

Good job with the new banner ... I never remember Halloween because we don't really celebrate it here.

Pky ... I love your daughter too.  She's a great artist and an inspiration.

Great drawings, I like the first also. She captured what the player is feeling with the big smile.

Then it is settled. I'll use the first one on my January banner if Pky's daughter doesn't mind. I want a Christmas banner for December. @ Pky - Could you please ask you daughter if I can use it for Jan. and if she feels like it, she can color it :-) Only if she wants to.

Thanks

I like the third one.  The violin appears to me as if a lady with a hand on her hips.  Also the bow seems ready to 'saw' the violin.  Good drawing.  Pky, convey my wishes to your daughter
Chinny you also deserve heaps of wishes for your 5 min. drawing. 

My maths is becoming tougher.  So far I was asked to do single digit addition.  Now it is double digit(12+12=1212).
