A while back I had a friend of a friend make up a side banner for this site. I liked it but he had put an RX-8 in it. I asked if he’d do a different one with just Miatas, well today it came via the email. I have it integrated into the site, but I had to darken up the theme a little to make it work (as it was I had to lighten up the banner.)
It was his first attempt at something vertical, he kinda of specializes in signatures, those 60×300 images at the bottom of a forum post. He is only 16 and just started doing computer graphics in August of last year. Like any kid, cost is an issue so he is hosted on Geocities and has a “free” domain name, so you have to drill down through the popups and ads, but the images are worth it. Blood Lite Arts
I still liked my old page so I have implemented a style switcher, so you can pick which look you like. There a few bugs in the system still, but I’ll see if I can work them out. The most annoying is for some reason it loads the default first and then switches. That happens pretty quickly on individual pages, but with the bigger archive files it is really noticeable. Plus for some reason in Firefox the new banner doesn’t show at all…

Well, I have tried a PHP version of a style switcher and it works only on the main page…. I may just forget about this thing altogether.
