I have been making and sharing Free backgrounds for over five years.  It remains one of my favorite pastimes and I hope to continue to do them for many more years.

Two important things have changed in those years since I first began making graphics: 

1. Computers have become much more powerful and the software that is offered now will do amazing things. (But I'm still using the same old computer...and the same software ----sigh)
2. There are real concerns about computer viruses and malicious people who find amusement in devising ways to crash other's computers.

Therefore, I am making the following changes to the procedure for submitting a request for FREE background and accessories services.

• Please email me that you are interested in having a background made. DO NOT attach the graphic(s) that you want me to use at this time. 
  If you do so, I will delete your email unopened.   I may not be able to retrieve your email address to explain this to you, so if you do not 'hear' from me you will know why.  In the email you should give me the URL of your webpage and some idea of the type of background you want (i.e. color, small file size, etc)

• While you are waiting for a reply from me, make a webpage and load it and your graphics onto your server.  The page doesn't have to be fancy -- plain white background works fine.  If there are multiple images line them up down the page.  If there are some suggestions for how you would like to see the image used add text to the page while you are setting it up (for instance:   "crop out the guy standing by the tree, he was a jerk, but I looked terrific so I love this picture of me").  Name the file "myphotos.html" or any other easy to remember file name you aren't using.   Then when I have answered your inquiry.....

• Send me the URL of your image(s) AND I'LL GET STARTED ON YOUR FREE BACKGROUND.

  I had to make this change because my small email box was being filled with huge image files that lock up my old, out of date, antique of a computer.  And I can't replace the computer because the Backgrounds ARE FREE!  I'm not complaining, FREE is the way I want to do this.

     IT IS WONDERFUL TO ME  that I have found a hobby that can help other webbies make the backgrounds for their sites and I'm pleased to have found success and am grateful that people are responding, my computer just can't handle it as well as I can. ~smile~

  I also owe an apology to the person, or persons who sent me images that caused me to finally seek a solution to this problem.  In order to avoid possible total meltdown of my system, I just had to delete a batch of emails without being able to retrieve any names, email addresses or anything!  It was so frustrating!  I'M SORRY.   I didn't ignore your email on purpose..... I just had no choice!
