You can change the size of the banner. Img Src "whatever it is" width="?" height= "?" ^all of that is in brackets^

Yeah, i didn't think it would show up though if I put it in brackets. But what i'm going to do is re-size it with photoshop. Then, when I put the banner on the webbie, I'll make it clickable, so they can click and view the full size image. And no, not abandoning it either... I said I was 1. looking for someone to take it over and check in with me, so still manage it, but put more focus on the new mall, since it obviously needs it, or 2. Looking for someone to help me run both. No abandonment. I would appreciate it if you didn't say things like that. I don't want people to think I give up and give it away. I've ran that mall for nearly 2 years now, and had to take a hiatus for about 3 months from it. Having a child will do that.

Thanks for the helpful input everyone :) I will get right on it. Anything else? I don't mind constructive criticism. I've never ran a larger mall, so any advice from people with more experience than I is wonderful.

There we go :) It fits now. I went ahead and shrunk it with html though, so people can actually see the full-sized banner if they copy and paste the direct link. I forgot I couldn't send them to the direct link by making it a clickable image, because you can't link anything off-site on neo. But I think that does look better, and hopefully that will help :)

Having a child will do that.[/quote] From the original thread: [quote]I cannot decide if I'm looking for [b]someone to completely run Mall of Neopia[/b] and report to me ever so often, or if I just want [b]someone to help[/b] me run it[/quote] Either way, it sounds like you had a bit of difficulty running it. Basically, what I'm saying is... you're trying to expand/spread yourself too thin when your current establishment(s) dont have a good foundation in terms of management. People dont like that. They usually want a mall with a solid administration and dont like changing categories just because the mall folded. I know I dont - especially after i've stocked 15 pages of stuff. Furthermore, when things are "given" away, it often ends up, stinking up, for the lack of a better word. because the person who takes over didnt really "create" it, that person is less obligated to give it the same effort the original creator, such as yourself, might have given it. Anyways you asked for advice. I gave you one of the possibilities in my opinion. But clearly, you're not comfortable with criticism so I shall say no more. --------------------------------------------- Celebrate [color=red]Xmas[/color] at [color=green]Xmart[/color].
