So, for the logo, do I just go by the dimensions of the banner header in that sample template?

Hey, guys! Forgot to let you know that I put up a new video, but it's not on Youtube yet... I entered it for the KY3 SDC Photo/Video contest... and it just got picked as a finalist!

If you guys want to see it, it's the second video down at this link:

http://www.ky3.com/contests?

It's a really shortened version of a 20-minute video I'd made of my nephew at SDC. He's four years old and already a huge fan of SDC.

I'm wondering if the rise in food prices has any connection to the rise in gas prices? I mean, if it's costing more for gas, then it must be costing more to ship food...

I learned a trick about getting good light shots without a tripod -- to lessen the amount of shaking in the photo, put it on 2-second timer (if you have it); by doing that, the shake that occurs when you press the button is gone by the time the camera actually takes the picture. It works pretty well.

But actually, I think your night shots turned out pretty good.

Just under 20 days before I get to go! YAY!

Collapsible 3-column layout... so something like this?

http://www.cross-browser.com/x/examples/x_3col_fm.html

Well, if you need help with the graphic design, feel free to e-mail me with a detailed description of what you're needing help with, and/or maybe a quick sketch to give me an idea of what you're visualizing, and I could see about trying to cook up something.

I haven't used Gimp before, but I downloaded it and some overlay called GimpShop that's supposed to make it look and act more like Photoshop; I got that because some of the tutorials for PS are difficult to translate into Paint Shop Pro, which is what I normally use (though I'm still stuck in version 7).

What sort of layout are you looking for? I've got a pretty simple layout that I used for a website I had last year (it's no longer up)... This is what it looked like:

Main Page

Sub-page

I used Microsoft's Visual Web Developer Express 2005 (aka the free version) to do my site; I would've used ASP.net so I could use the Masterpages feature, but the level of service I had with my webhost didn't support the ASP stuff.

I dunno what program you're using for the site, so maybe this might come in handy? I barely knew HTML, much less CSS and stuff before I started on my site, and the VWD really helped me get my site finished without much trouble at all.

Oh, no no no, I'm not participating in the trial just to go to SDC; I'm going for my depression (and I'm so excited, 'cause it's really working! I can't wait 'til it ends up on the market)... Getting money from the trial was icing on the cake.

I'd actually wanted to save the money for a convention I want to go to in 2009, but decided I'd rather take a trip to SDC for Christmas, since last year's Christmas trip was a real dud (due to who I was with, not because of SDC or anything).

I really do appreciate your offer, though. Thankfully, the two friends I'm going with already have season passes, and I got a BAF from someone on the 1Branson board who didn't need it (we do a lot of BAF trading on that board, since not everyone can use their BAFs when they're valid).

Wildfire at night is SOOOO awesome. I can't wait 'til I get down there in December to ride PK at night for the first time.

I'm so excited about the extra hour of darkness we have this year on Saturdays, since they're closing at 11pm instead of 10pm like the last few years. More time for riding rides in the dark! Yay!

Hope you have a great trip. Can't wait to hear all about it!

With gas prices soaring, and the fact that this year I don't have a season pass, and the fact that I don't have a job (I have difficulties holding down a job due to depression and possibly Social Anxiety Disorder [haven't been diagnosed yet])... It's difficult to make it down there this year. I'm using money from doing a clinical trial to take my Christmas trip there. After the trip, I'll have maybe $50 left to my name.

So, not everyone can afford to go often or pay extra for certain things.

I live 4 hours away and have only been once this season; I'll be there one more time before the park closes for winter and that'll be it.

If I had the money, I definitely would have been there over 20 times, but not everyone can afford that.

THANK YOU! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who's excited about 24/7 Christmas music.

I've found Live365 to be a nice place to go when I'm in the mood for Christmas music in the middle of June.
