Just checking out some stuff here. I am also looking to add some stuff to this page as well. I noticed that the blogroll and the links far outweigh the content so I thought I would mess around with the header a bit as well as provide a place for you to comment on the theme, the background and yes the Header that I just uploaded. Fear not, if it is not working for you, we can easily revert back to the original header that you have grown to love. =)
So comment on the theme, the header I just uploaded, the background. If you are a WP person already, what Themes have you tried that might help with the black background which personally I really like. Not all do so I wanted to see how things go.
My head will be waiting on a platter for those of you who don’t like the current one, my lap (for the ladies) and open pockets are ready for the adulation that will follow. LOL
I don’t care for the banner… It’s blurry… The rest of the site is crisp so the blurryness weirds out my eyes.

I’m not really keen on the banner either.
Sorry. =(
As Julie said, it’s a bit blurry. Maybe with a re-scanned image, it could work. In that case, though, some thought might be given to changing the colour scheme. The blue crinkle of the GAP certificate doesn’t seem to blend very well with the black/red of the “Black Letterhead” theme currently in use.
On the upside, at least it’s not butterflies.

Well, I like the “idea” of it.

I liked the butterflies…
It got kudos from both Mona and Samantha…

I was looking at the themes and I like the theme: Neat!
It goes good with the header George put up. I may see if I can get a sharper image that is the same type of thing.

I am sorry for not being able to get back to this. I was on the PC up at the inlaws and before the weekend it got hit with a virus and I was not able to get back online with their PC.
I am home again so now that I have finally been able to read the responses to the theme, I have no problem with removing it or having it removed.
I had a burst of inspiration when I thought of my pictures I took of my GAP Certificate (that is the top portion of it up there), the back of my GAP Hat and my GAP Card.
The idea of it is there. =)

Well that is a bit clearer than before. I am still willing to go back to the black theme we had earlier but if we are still getting comments on the black background, I guess we can look at this one for now.

I tried to do some scanning myself of my GAP certificate and couldn’t get a good scan. The new one you did is good. I think it is good to have the Gamer Advisory Panel on it. On the theme… I know some people have a problem reading the black theme (the same problem they have with the GAP). I just thought this theme matched the header.

I looked around as much as I could for my GAP certificate … I have a brilliant scanner … but I couldn’t find the bloody thing!
Still, I think that the resize, along with the new design template, works fairly well. It’s still bright but has a nice flow.

If I had a better image editor, I would have resized it and sharpened it before I uploaded and cropped it. That there is like a zoomed in view since the original cropping I tried would have shown the edge of the card. LOL Yes that is the GAP Card. =)
