caught red handed
er. wait..what? um...no. what i meant to say was, um... giving props where props is due!
what am i talking about?!
m'kay. so you know runner susan, right?! well, she has designed many a delicious masthead (otherwise known as banner, for those not design-er-ly inclined) for many an RBF'er. and i'm always going to someones NEW AND IMPROVED blog, thinking to myself dang-it. why don't i do that? i could do that! i'm a designer...i should do that.
and so therefore... i am not a runner became little miss runner pants, and my NEW AND IMPROVED blog was born.
so. thank you Runner Susan for your designs, for they inspired me to get off my butt and create one of my own!! prop one, done and done.
but is that it?! me thinks not.
prop two goes to an RBF'er oh so cooler than i, and prop three to.... well. lets face it. another RBF'er oh so cooler than i.
Bolder and Flatman. for their video-licious additions to their blogs made me wanna go out and hijack that bandwagon for all its worth. and so therefore i, like them, now get to spend half my day deciding what video i want to post tomorrow... and the next day...and the next.
so you see?! imitation truly is the greatest form of flattery. so. all you creative blogging crazies out there, do your thing. and maybe, if you're lucky, it'll show up here, as my own creation, somewhere down the road!!!!

i spent at least half a day watching videos. it's like VH1 on demand!! (BTW, I know of at least two sites: webratsmusic and videocodezone.)the only trouble is that you have to keep changing the song. when you visit people's blogs as often as I do, you get sick of hearing the same song each time!

A Maria,Your changes this time seem to have caused me trouble. Yesterday, my at home computer locked up and needed rebooting to restart. I can see it on my work computer, but it's wider than it should be. (Maybe a shout to John - the code guy is in order.)Bolder, Just be careful there! Little Mr. Runner Pants could get you heckled (see this post: http://scootersweightloss.blogspot.com/2005/01/you-gotta-nice-ass.html )

I like the design! I think that it's okay to copy the ideas as long as you don't make 10,000 copies and then sell them on the street corner for profit. Oh, wait. I think that's something else. You are stealing. The trick is not to get caught. Of course, confessing does complicate things. A defense attorney could argue that you were coerced. I think that you’re safe.

So how much do you charge to design mastheads for others? :) (I'm not a designer, but I am a newspaper person, so I, too, know the meaning of "masthead.")

I've been meaning to put a real header on my blog *forever.*I mean, I only own and run a web design firm, you think I could do it (or better yet, have someone do it for me).BTW, what type of graphics work do you do?Okolo

okolo: i work at Ft. Leavenworth, taking the courseware for the CGSC (command and general staff college) and various other warfighting courses and make them interactive so that the soldiers out in the field can take courses via the web, etc... its a bit deceptive to say i do web design, b/c i JUST do the design side, none of the back end... therefore my html knowledge is very limited. (i'm working on that though...)but i do have a graphics degree... and should have my own websited. i just...ya know... dont!

So are you adding videos to the interactive courses to entertain the soldiers:)? Nice new look!
