NICE SITE!
« on: October 13, 2006, 10:28:15 PM »
I had to take the opportunity to grandstand.

My phone rang today and who was it? Ultra, my long lost freind it was. How long has it been?

He shared about this nice site here and I had to come and visit!

Well I definitely think that as www.BigThreeNews.com launches that the a car puzzle spot on the front page that would link straight to here would be a must.

I always thought it was a cool feature back in the old days, but never dreamed about a site dedicated to it. I cant imagine how hard it must be to keep new ones coming. :)

That is great news.  I love the idea and think it could benefit both sites.

We would be happy to contribute in any other matter that you could find useful as well, at any of the sites you shepard.

Thanks again for dropping in.  We really hope to see you as often as you can spare.  This site is about camraderie and our shared love of the automobile.   Your contributions will always be valued here.

Here is my first pass at a "cover bug" for AutoPuzzles. Let me know what you think.

http://www.bigthreenews.com/index.html

Keep in mind that this site is not all there yet and graphics are slated for some tweaking before the Nov 1 launch.

Shay,

With the update to our front page, you need to update the text of your cover bug.

Yes. Once the site is 100% prime time. I will have to check here daily. The other option is to have you ring my bell whenever you change it by sending me an email.

I and the entire board would like it if you checked in here daily.  :)

I will try to ring your bell everytime I know there is an update.

If I am away from the computers for any length of time, I will let you and let Karn know.

Perhaps Karn could always make the top puzzle a car photo.  Then, your cover bug, Shay, could always say Name That Car.  I think this solutions is best Karn, because it will allow cover bugs to be consistent across multiple sites...........

Or, it could read "What Is It?", allowing for more flexibility.

I can also arrange for the latest puzzle pic name remain the same, so that if the link is there, it 'updates' automatically.

Does that work for you?

It's all good. Dont change what you do here to fit what I do. I have no problem with adapting from day to day.

The top puzzle pic, form now on is named "http://www.autopuzzles.com/AutoPuzzles%20Pic%20of%20the%20Day.JPG".

Would it help if I were to duplicate it, re-zize it to fit the space on your site (190 pixels wide), and re-name it with a different static name?

One option if you want to do that, is to simply keep a "thumbnail" of your cover photo on your server that I would hot link to. This way the cover photo on my site is always current, I dont have to do anything.

Although, honestly I dont mind the process. At this point if forces me to pay attention to the BTN site which has been a challenge anyway. I have not yet gotten into the habit of hitting this one every day yet.

The other drawback with having the image hosted off site is that you guys could go nuts one day and make it a porn photo and I would no be the wiser. ;D

You might want to drop the puzzle # as well.  ;)
