Let me know.

Oh, yes please. That would be awesome. Since I'm not very tech savy you might have to get everything started for me, I dont really have a firm understanding of anything you just mentioned. As far as programming goes, I'm only as far as making math and chem formula programs on graphing calculators. (That was the main reason I passed my chemistry, algebra and geometry classes in high school, because I was able to rewrite my programs minutes after they wiped out the memory.)...I'm kind of a learn it as I need it type.
Now if there is a way for me to set up my own web page, no problem. I just have to figure out how to get started.

Well I wrote my script so all you have to do is upload the image to a image folder and it will would auto show it on the website, meaning you upload and that's it. You ever use FTP to transfer files?

That sounds easy enough, but I dont think I've ever used this FTP. To me a computer is a tool just like a wrench. I can easily use it for stuff that is right in front of me like slide shows and splash screens but loosening a bolt that is miles away is where I start to have trouble, if you know what I mean.
Ok so how you describe it, uploading pictures is easy. Does it accept the bitmaps? I'm about to skip using JPEG as my middle format. I'm going strait from my painting format right to bitmap, no middle man to waste time but also no middle man for uploading.

[XPerties]

Yeah the script was made just for bitmap images.

You can get free FTP software here:

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like. There is a bunch of crap that may over whelm you but really int he below screenshot you only put in the "Host", "Username" and "Password" and once you save it you would just click connect.

Here is a link to some flash tutorials on how to use FileZilla:

If you want to give it a shot I'll send you some login information for an account and you can mess around with login in and uploading files. You can't hurt anything and once you get the hang of it I'll throw the script in your account and then you would just upload the images to a image folder.

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a try. Just downloaded it (found the agreement quite interresting) so I'll be playing around with it for a while. I watched some of the demos and it I think I will be able to set something up...We'll see.

Later that day:
Ok, looks simple enough. I'll have it ready in no time, I'm just not sure about what the host is supposed to be. I used their wizard to do a few tests and the tests failed. Any recommendations(or use the filezilla-project.org)?

I'm not in the competing mode but can you give me more details? U want all of those items on one splash screen? If so that would be way to busy for it to even look nice.

longshot: The host is your web host. It's typically something you pay for from a company to host a website which is why I suggested I would give you some space on a sub-domain on my site if you were interested.

Not sure if it could be done but this would be pretty cool.

[Longshot270]

08- Check Xperties's website (page 1 of this thread or click on the link in his signature), he has some that are similar to what your wanting. Really all I could do is to build on his with a border and the STX possibly underneath. But I will also work on one later because I'd probably make the letters thicker.

[Longshot270]

Here's one that I thought looked kinda cool. I used the picture you posted because I liked the angles.
