Actually, the antialiasing around the title kinda' grows on me after a while. Looks sorta' like an outline. I can deal with it easier than all that bright bold baby-$hit butterscotch that was up there. Professional artists aren't cheap (and frequently not cost-effective).

More like I have more important things to do with my time than look for, interview, and explain things to a hired gun artist. And if I can get something done myself, even if it's not perfect but good enough, then I choose that route rather than spending money. In case you missed it, a LOT of people have a problem with the butterscotch colors. Myself included. That you don't isn't reason enough for me to put off working on it. Especially since it's a good way for me to start familiarizing myself with the way the site works.

Jon, << Or he could have it done by a professional artist, and it would look even better. An artist could fudge the antialiasing in a pinch, but the right way to do it is to re-do it from scratch. >> I happen to agree with you but I suspect Bob would also agree with you. Bob, as owner, admin, IT manager, head code jockey, and supervisor of contractors, gains good experience by fussing with it. That makes him better qualified to spec the design should he subcontract, and qualify the subcontractor. Be that as it may, the banner is not the top priority here. << Even good eyes and a good aesthetic sense is no substitute for mathematics. :) >> ... or the best available tools. << I suppose Bob is going to particularly stubborn about this now. He refuses to admit that he can't do everything around here - at least not at a professional level. >> As a very early citizen of IHub, who was on board there when Bob came on board I have confidence in Bob's capacity to listen, question, absorb, learn, react, prioritize, code, and implement ... most professionally. You call that stubborn? - Eric -
