I meant to post this yesterday, but I didn't. I had things to do.

And by "things to do", I mean I took a nap. It was long, and somewhat refreshing, and now my nose is stuffed up. Guys... I think I have a cold. How can I have a cold? I don't go anywhere or see anyone!

Anyway, I'm thinking I'll make a comm about a cookbook challenge if only some kind soul would make a promotional banner. I feel deep inside that it's not really a challenge or community without a proper promotional banner, something that looks nice. And then we could all opt in to the level of commitment we want. One recipe a week? Fine for those of us who want to do that! One a month? That's okay too! "I'll think about doing one or two this year"? Well, realism is just peachy.

here's two banners to start off with, and I have 800px and 450px versions of both. if I've done this right, you will be able to cut-and-paste the entire contents of the text area into a new post, and that will show off both banners and four text areas, such that anyone can cut-and-paste the entire contents of any of those text areas into their own new post, which will then show off a banner with links.

I've only just seen the request, and you've already solved the issue.

I'm falling behind. Would've been good for me, portfolio-wise, to try out for this.

It's not really a contest. Heck, the more the merrier!

You know, I could also use a community userpic.
