Thanks David,

I must admit, as computer literate as I am in many areas, it seems like some of the forum features are new to me, so hopefully you have received the banner ad in a format you can use. If not, let me know and I will resend it.

Yes, I would be interested in writing for your site. Currently, I write monthly articles for ARA, but have no exclusivity with them. I also write for our website, www.usedlasers.com, and occasionally for www.signindustry.com, and Marking industry Magazine. I am totally independent and have no contractual commitments with any of them.

I welcome your ideas and input and look forward to your reply.

I have your banner in the rotation.

Hudson, Wi. is my old stomping grounds. Lots of good memories from there. I lived in Mpls/St. Paul for about 20 years, born and raised in Hibbing, Mn.

May all your dreams come true.

John,

One of my daughters lived in Hibbing (her mother still does). What a small world, I understand it is the home of the Greyhound Bus Museum & Bob Dylan. The one time I was there I didn't see much room for anything more (he, he!) My daughter is now going to Northwestern College in St.Paul.

Last I lived there was 1977 and I haven't spent much time there since, my last connection with Hibbing was my mom who passed away in 1998.

The main things I hear when I mention Hibbing is Bob Dylan (who actually was born in Duluth, but grew up in Hibbing), or "It's really cold up there isn't it...." It's nice to hear something else, though I think the Greyhound Museum is in Virginia, Mn. Maybe not....

Steve,

That's exaxctly right. I was only giving Diane a hard time.

I'm sure they'll revise the ad.

Something that I've notice, when It was said that the banners were in rotation. I saw no banners?

I'vetried everything in zonealarm & adblockplus in firefox to unblock, but no go? Anyone have any suggestions?

I already thought of that, and its not checked!

I got both engravingetc.org & siciwi.com in my safe list, but for some strange reason the images are not showing?

Dave, at the moment i have it without the "www". I have tried with them and no go. I also notice that i can see the banners when i save the page for offline and open it in Firefox?

Am I the only one with the problem? Does anyone else here use firefox?

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.3 maybe thats the problem!

I can call the image prefectly when I change the code to

<DIV style="background: url('http://siciwi.com/adimages/chewbarka.jpg'); width: 468px; height: 60px;" alt="" title=""></DIV>
