Can anyone help me with making a banner ad
I want to place an ad with Bartcop...

I can create the ad in MSPaint -- but I don't know how to make it "grabbable." Does that make sense?

I'm lost. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

1. What do you mean by "grabbable"? Eye catching?

3. Sorry for the delay in replying
By grabbable, I mean artwork that can be "captured" and emailed. I don't have Photoshop -- maybe it's not possible without such a software program.

4. Well you can grab anything!
I use a Mac. You just click on an image on the net and drag it to your desktop and you've got it. The key to emailing is that you need to keep the file size down. Let me know how I can help. I'll be here after 9 a.m. tomorrow. You can PM me if you want and I'll help you any way I can.

5. A Mac, huh?
I have a PC.

I can "grab" most images -- but Bartcop told me he couldn't grab the ad I'd made. For the life of me, I don't know why.

I know you're on your way out...so...I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Thanks so much.

6. One last thing before I leave
Make sure you correctly title the ad. i.e. it has to have the suffix jpg at the end of it. So the title would be something like: myad.jpg
If you don't properly title it, it gets messed up when you email it. If you still have problems in the morning, you can email it to me and I'll see if I can figure out what the problem is. Good luck.
