Default Website Banner help

The site banner that's across the top of the page that shows all past COTM winners hasn't changed in months. This job was originally all handled by one of the Internet Brands employees. Now, it only gets done if I manually crop down the photos, stick them in paint and put the winners name on the picture, then load it to the site and send it directly to the IB employee, via PM, that updates the banner.

Obviously, I don't have time to do that.

Is there anyone who can reliably help me do that? Ultimately, it's still up to the IB guy to load the images to the banner but they will only take the time to do that if we send the images to them.

Let me know if anyone would like to help.

Thanks, Andy

I'd be happy to try and help as well.

Crop image
insert text (not sure exactly how you're doing it, but I can play around with some stuff)
load to site: (how unknown, but can be trained)

If anyones better at it that's great, but I'll help how I can.
I used to be a MOD for BlueTorchFab's site (back when 1/4 elipticals were a thing, but it was mainly thread checks and site promotion)

I'd be willing to help share the load as well. All I have to work with is paint for now (I work quite a bit), I have PS CS5 (I think that's the version) on my computer at home and can play around with it a little when I have time.

Just let me know.

Literally, all I do is grab the best looking picture from the winners Congratulations post. Open it in paint, crop it into a square, add their name in some bold font that will be ledgible and save it.

Then I load the image to photobucket and send the link to IB_Nolan.

He takes it from there.

There's about a 6-8 month back log of images that need to be loaded in the correct order. After that, it's once a month.

September 2015 was the last time it was updated. October 2016 to current needs to be done. So, we're 9 months behind... lol

If you want, you can load them to Photobucket and send me the links. I'll forward them to Nolan.

Oh... nah. If I watch tv, it's pretty much just stuff on YouTube on in the background while I'm doin' stuff in the garage. And it's usually Roakill or Dirt Everday.

Sounds good. I'll just go ahead and start with October, November, December 2015 and if Krakker and Cane finally take notice *AHEM!!!* they can pick up January, February, March, and April, May, June.
