I would like to add some flash on the homepage, and just for the business name/logo portion. I don't actually have a logo yet. Just something to make it a little more appealing and professional looking. I don't have it uploaded to replace my old site yet but will include the link once I do. Thank you for any ideas!

You would usually ghet 30 days free trials or 20 free banner creations. The website is download.com and type in GIF Animator then change the drop down box to software. I hope this helps.

I use GIMP simply because I cannot afford Adobe. It has a learning curve to it, but once you are used to it, it works well. __________________ Jodith Allen Administrative Arts
