DESKTOPHIPPIE

My own website is hosted through geocities

www.desktophippie.com

Geocities is free, but doesn't come with a lot of space. Google also offer free web hosting to those with a gmail account. In true google fashion it comes with acres of room to store files.

Since altering templates in google is fiddly I cheat. I host my site through geocities and link my images from google. It means I can use my basic HTML skills to alter my website when I need to.

I'd be happy to join your team too, but my net access is pretty patchy so I'm not much good for working to deadlines. Everyone's more than welcome to use banners from my site though - just don't hotlink or you'll crash it on me!

This is shinyness incarnate! I cannot help, as I have no artistic ability at all, but I can bump the thread and be majorly encouraging and when you get up and running I can help spread the word.

Well, I'll be gone for the next 3 months or more and internet access after hat will be sketchy. Also, I have no clue how to make banners and all my website skills are amateur at best... best I'd love to help out if I can, maybe learn a trick here or there.

If I'm lucky eventually I'll know enough to take a bigger role, although my final goal is to be worshipped as a god by subjugating the human race... but that is for another thread.

Oh, and I like the second template better... I like how the menu is on the right, nice and refreshing from the left-sided menus.

Woman, you are completely off your nut.

Oooo, this is such a great idea! I'd love to help in any way I can. I kinda play with banners, but I'm no expert. I do have some artistic abilities, but not much digitally, I'm afraid. I can still offer my assistance in any way a helpful lil Browncoat can, even if it's just my opinion.

Thats kwl, both so far the forums and website are Free and made of templates as I am still learning HTML coding. I have experience with the phpbb forums and we can just keep it as temp for now.

If we can set up right and get everything running we could look on developing out status from Free sites to properly made site and forums.
And then take over the world...I mean... "the Vers!"

I want to be part of the crew. I never actually keep track, but I do quite a lot.

I can help run the forum
OR
I can help make the layout for you. It would take some time, but I can.

I know how to use photoshop, imageready, a little bit of flash, other programs and stuff, I work well with html, and I'm taking communication technology in school (which does design and advertisement).

Well for a free site I would recommend Freewebs as you plan on using, but they don't give enough space, so I would say lycos.co.uk is pretty good gives 50MB and it's free.

I almost lost this thread.

Okay, first I couldn't display the forums, and now I can't find the 'register' link. If I didn't know better I would say I was too technologically incompetent to design banners.

*edit* Found it, registered, will be of service whenever possible, and hopefully I will learn some new stuff!

OK, not sure how to say this.

My father currently works in Oxford, which is 6 hours away from Chester, so he has to stay down there during the week. Meaning we pay for this house and his lodgings.
Now, his company he was working for has split, and the half he got shuffled along with is now collapsing, and has not payed any of its workers.

This is winter time now, almost christmas, and we have no money, as my dad has not been payed and with 2 lots of lodgings to pay for along with the normal bills and family upkeep.

He has been offered a job by a company based close to where we live and so he can stay at home, however he still needs to go for interview and would have to work a month to be payed. They are offereing 10,000 pounds more than he would be payed now.

Apart from that good news, atm we have little money, rationed food and limited spendin money. If things carry on we risk being split by Social Services.
Thought Id let you guys know incase I disappeared one day.

Sorry to hear that Cap'n Josh. Maybe the escape of banner making can offer you some solace.

Made a banner for the NC folks. I am currently makin' a few variations of the NC banner so... if ya don't like this one, I have a couple more on the way.

It's exactly 2 hours from my house to Crabtree Mall in Raleigh now that the bypasses are complete in Wilson and Knightdale and assuming Saturday traffic on I-440.

And now that the new leg of I-540 is open Brier Creek should be about 2 and a half hours. Can't wait to try it. My brother lives right off I-540 so now I can avoid the Beltline when I go to see him.

I am planning to go to the Can't Stop the Serenity screening in June in Raleigh even if I miss work the next day.

Wilmington is a little further. Drove to Jacksonville last weekend. The new J'ville bypass should take a bit of time off but the construction between J'ville and New Bern actually added time. You can't pass anyone on the two lanes open. It'll be a mess for a year or two more.

My daughter and I are trying our hardest to convert people out here. Maybe soon we'll hit critical mass (with help from the "Coats in Greenville) and can form a Browncoat group of our own.

Sorry, ILM is the airport code for Wilmington, NC. It's on the southern coast of North Carolina. During it's hisory it was famed for it's port and was one of the last Confederate ports to be closed by the Union army during the American Civil War.

Boats from Europe or the Caribbean with supplies or anything that would sell for a high price would try to sneak past a blockade of Union Navy ships. They were low in the water to avoid detection and came in at night so many of them ended up on the bottom of the sea near Wilmington. Maybe that's why I identify with Firefly so much. A shared history of smuggling. LOL

When I grew up there in the late 60's, 70's and early 80's it was a fairly large town but a bit isolated because of it's location.

Now, because of Interstate 40 and the general boom in waterfront property in the US it has really grown. There are several nice beaches close to Wilmingon and the weather is nice most of the year.

It's home to the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, which is a fairly large university. Also, there is an independent film studio located there so you may have seen parts of the area on film. The popular TV series DAWSON'S CREEK was filmed there.

You may also of one of our most famous former residents. The basketball star Michael Jordan grew up in Wilmington.

I hope that helps.

Also, thanks a bunch for the Mal-Valentine banner. I really like it.

Sorry to cause any addlepated-ness ; also didn't mean to ' highjack the thread ' . Had an opportunity to get more acquainted with NCBrowncoat , and it turns out that PDCharles also has roots at I*L*M* , so this Browncoat Banner operation is already making it easier to bring more Browncoats together !

Have to thank you CaptainJosh , because your work is helping to make us even more Mighty .

I'm continuing to gather source graphics for the I*L*M* banner , but I want to put that one on the ' back burner ' at the moment , at least until I get further along with a couple of banners in support of that ' Sponsor ' thing I was asking about .

Yep , here in the States , it's kind of a popular slang or shorthand to refer to cities by their airport identifiers .

Los Angeles is LAX , pronounced EL-LAY-ECKS , San Francisco (SFO) is ESS-EFF-OHH , Raleigh-Durham (RDU) is ARE-DEE-YOU , etc .

London Heathrow (LHR) would be ELL-AITCH-ARE , Charles DeGaulle Airport at Paris is CEE-DEE-JEE (CDG) , as European examples...

Might be a cool idea if more Browncoats would adopt this practice of giving their closest airport code to prevent confusion in their local region , because there are towns with the same or similar names all over the States . Then there's the London , England ( Londinium ) and the London in Ontario , Canada , etc...

Another example , we have towns in both North Carolina and South Carolina that are named Greenville , we have a
" Canton " here in N*C* , but there's a major city in Ohio by the same name .

There's a " Wilmington " in North Carolina , but there's another in Delaware , another in Ohio , one in California , etc...

But all the Airport ID codes are ' discrete ' or different , whether they are IATA ( Airline Transport ) or ICAO--
" International Civil Aviation Organization " .

Sorry about the hijack too. Eastern NC is a shiny part of the US that's overlooked a lot.

BTW Greenville NC (about 20 miles from here) is PDG for some crazy reason. And Wilmington, DE is WIL.

My first job out of college was at a travel agency and I had to memorize a lot of airport codes. I only lasted 8 months, then it was the nomadic military life (both active and as a spouse)and I've been settled here in "Little Washington" for the past 9 years.

The airport in Greenville , NC might've had its identifier changed in the years that have gone by...Officially , its code is
PGV--for Pitt-Green-Ville .

PDG is in Minangkabau , Indonesia ! It's an International airport , although I've never even heard of the place...Wonder how many Browncoats live along that Rim o' the 'Verse ?
