FREE FOR THE ASKING

CUSTOM BACKGROUNDS MADE TO ORDER

Important Notice - Please Read:

  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  I had to make this change because my small email box was being filled with huge image files that lock up my old, out of date, antique of a computer.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!


I really enjoy "adapting" images for backgrounds and would be willing to try adapting a background for YOU from an image of your choice.  There is absolutely no charge for this service.  The only stipulation is that the image must belong to you or be "public domain" with no strings attached.  If the image you like is from a source that prevents verification of  "public domain" I would have some reservations about working on it.   Also, I prefer working on images that are strictly for "General Audiences", no adult or explicit material, please.

e-mail me with your requests. Please follow the guidelines that I outlined in the box above.   There is NO OBLIGATION.  For my part, I agree never to use your photo images on any application for my personal use or to distribute for another's use, without your COMPLETE AND ENTHUSIAST AGREEMENT IN ADVANCE.
  That is my Promise to You.

I DO REQUEST ONE THING FROM YOU IN RETURN:
Please copy and display a small banner on the page where you use the image and give a link back to my site.  A compatible banner will be included in the package and is generally no larger than 60 X 100 pixels.  For a limited time, I can offer some basic buttons as part of the deal if you make a request for them, but these are on a "time available" basis.  Which just means, if I have time, I'll be happy to do them, but if I'm busy, maybe not. ~smile~
