you can use it for a own blog or website... or use it to upload some stuff you may want to back it up from your pc because you want to delete your actual OS to safe your data :D.

[Graceburn]

I hope Shadow sees this before Midnight, so he can change his. And I know the fireworks aren't that good, I got no idea how to use GIMP, it took me th last 20 minutes trying to figure out why the airbrush wouldn't work, then I noticed i could use "confetti" in the pencil function. I also discovered something called an opacity slider set at 100% :D

[Graceburn]

Why you gotta put pictures up like that anyway, you tryin'a make us fight!? :D

[Graceburn]

umm, is it invalid coz its 799x200 and has no border (me and gimp don't work well together)

[Graceburn]

I fixed it (still no border, maybe you can do it for me Grave if it wins) and discovered filters. This makes gimp my new best friend!

[Graceburn]

It blurred on upload for some reason, i'll zip and upload it:

i did add the happy new year and the border of the image but that doesnt count to graceburns work!

[Graceburn]

i like that, thanks

[Graceburn]

i didn't read the bottom, is it still counted as my entry?

[Graceburn]

i just remembered - i'm going away, in about 12 hours, for 2 days, so if it's not put up soon i wont see the winning entry unless you take it down after a week or two

[Gravemind]

you did 80% of the work :P so i say yes :D

[Graceburn]

yay! :D (can you make it so that i can put in less than 10 characters?)

[Gravemind]

do a new layer and use the text tool?

[Graceburn]

it didn't work

[Gravemind]

it didn't work

i guess this logo is OK i wouldnt change anything yet :P

[Graceburn]

it works like as it is, lock it in as my final entry

[Gravemind]
