Help me name this new feature...

[pamelamama]

I was thinking it'd be fun to have a little column of personal ads down the right side of the forum. For maybe $1 you could take out and ad for a week like, "Happy Birthday Anwyn" or "Fluff Factory Kicks Butt" or whatever.

So what would that be called?

"Personals" seems so boring ...

is this thing on?

[pamelamama]

check!

[pamelamama]

They rotate around like the banners up top!

Starting on Monday they are $1 for a week... hooo ray!

[marnie]

$1 a week? can it be real, live spammity spam spam advertising?

[pamelamama]

Hmm... I was thinking it would be more personal, not-biz fun related stuff. But wouldnt' that be a good place to spam an auction or some short-term swap-a-rama thread? :chin Let me consult my comprehensive business plan and get back to you.

[marnie]

auctions were exactly what i was thinking. i think $1 is too cheap.

it's great for a little "happy birthday, marnie" for example, but i think they're more useful than that and you should charge more for them.

[pamelamama]

Well, I suppose I could charge more for ads with clickthrough to a link, and keep the personals for $1. Hm?

[Quinlonsma]

I really like them as personals. I mean I *do* have a biz and all but seeing fun happy sweet stuff instead of come spend money here is nice too.

I've just been all buzzy tonight seeing my little girl laughing over at the side of the page. IT's too coool.

I'm really diggin the fun personal family type pics. leave the business stuff at teh top and the bottom. We can change them whenever we want right? like if I had an auction for the week I could send you a banner for the week and you could change it back after?

I signed up for banner advertising but neever actually sent you one or made one for that matter so I'm not sure how it works.

but notice I hotfooted it to photoshop for a quickie bday banner for my girlie even though she'll never see it. ::sigh:: my babies.... growin up.... ::sigh::

Also didn't you used to have two banners at the top? I kinda liked that. they would send little messages to me as they worked together into funny sayings.

all right off to bed with me I'm sounding crazy here.

feel free to completely disregard my late night rambling ;)

[Michele]

Since I cannot always see the pictures well or read the words, I clicked on the pictures expecting to get a larger image... is this possible instead of the click just taking me back to the forums, where I already am?

Oh and I like that they are more like personals than for business use in case you were looking for opinions. :two

[pamelamama]

Michele, there aren't larger pictures! The tiny ones are all I have. Jesse's little pic links to the thread about JEsse, and other mini-ads might have links to certain places, but mostly they are just little stand alone items! xoxo
