Hey everyone, I'm just starting this because no one else has. Can someone be team captain? Also, I think we need to come up with a cool team name. Again, if someone wouldn't mind being team captain, please post here.

I can do that.. but I am not one to go all fancy... lol...as you can tell by the "Buzzards" logo...if we all submit to the challenges and do our best..we can compete and have fun. as for the Name of our team I thought we were DPCO III MidWest...or at most "Team MidWest"

Just checking in

yeah, the key to good team scores is entering every challenge....even if you have to just take a picture of your foot and submit it....that should be good for at least a 2....and a 2 is better than a 0!

Hey guys just a reminder, I need someone to PM me with a team captain and a banner. Make sure the size of the banner is 500x81. If it is not then it will be stretched to that size and it will just look funny.

Thanks, Joe

okay guys...who wants to be the team captain?

there is no way on this public thread could we discuss anything...lol so if we were to use our emails I suppose you could send your ideas..and samples..just to share and get different ideas...in the WPL/DPL thing...it was a private thread so it was alot easier to discuss and trade ideas

I am actually trying to get the threads set up as private so you all can talk. Just hang around a little longer and I'll see what I can do.

Hey, that jersey is just fine, I suppose we could make the banner look similar. Tom, do you want to be team captain? I'm not sure what all you'd have to do, maybe you've done this before?

I uploaded all the "Jerseys" ....into my portfolio and there is a obvious file click on it...and pull out your personalized profile "Team" logo...and there are some banners to look at and we can choose which one is better for our purposes...for some stupid reason I can't attach anything but thumnails to the thread...

ETA...of course..open up to the picture page and just "right click" and save to your documents or wherever...there ya go..

you're welcome...I put another banner in the file as I am now having fun..lol..I know they're not the best but we will be fine.

one thing...we have to figure out how to put the normal size banner on the profile page...as the banner is 500 x 81....

ETA...I also put a large banner 2x the size in the file..but it still doesn't work...anyone know how to upload an image to your profile page?? lol

Judi helped us out, big thanks to her.... Here is the code to display an original image in your profile...

//images.dpchallenge.com/images_portfolio/user ID number/orig/Photo Number.jpg

Breakdown -
Yours = user id
orig = original size image
Your photo number.jpg = image number

I was missing the abbreviation "orig" in the code

ETA: for clarification

Thanks for putting the banner and jerseys together! I have mine on my profile. Do we still need a team captain?

I think being a team captain doen't entail doing very much...if it's anything like the DPL....I'll do it...

09/08/2008 01:21:00 PM · #21

Ok, great! Thanks for that.

I just submitted the Banner to Dirt Driver and told him who was the captain...now all we gotta do is wait for a private thread...(a maybe)...or just have participation..and try our best, it will be fun.

Cool, now when does this officially start? And do we had to enter every single challenge, or just one a week?
