Let me repeat something that I said to Ent privately already.

THe pictures are much more likely to get into a review if you email them to ME. The guy who actually reads the submissions and decides when/if they will be published. Skar is the only other person who does anything like that, and he only does it for movies. If you have pictures for any other category, send them to *me*. My email is in my profile and publically viewable, so there is no excuse for not knowing how to get them to me.

Maybe I'm just a little flustered at the work I have to do (here and at my payign job) after one sick day, but really, I'm kind of tired of hearing about pictures not showing up in reviews when I've barely seen any of the pictures in the first place.

That is all.

edit: except this: Editing your pictures so they take up less space than half a meg means I have less work to do to get them up as well. Thus, things go faster.

Hey Eric--if I came up with a logo for Geek Girl would you maybe post it with the articles, the way reviews get pictures?  

I've got next week's written, so I should have it up soon.  I just have to fiddle with the html.

If the logo looked good then probably, it would depend on the size and where you wanted to place it, also any designs would have to be approved by 42 though.  The big question is where to put it, I would think something small that could go in the blurb like movie posters would be best.

Some suggestions, keep it simple and stick to a color scheme that matches what the site uses now.  You can always PM or e-mail me when you get it done for suggestions too.

I was just thinking something little just like the movie images that get posted next to the blurbs.  That's a good suggestion about the color scheme--I think CtrlZed might help me.  I'll fool around with it and see.

That is an awesome avatar :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
