February calendar - better late than never

Post by Nick »

.
Sorry, I know it is pretty late, especially as it is such a short month, but I've been a bit busy. You've all been very good about it though :tiphat:

It does take a while each month . . . just in case anyone was wondering what is involved:

a) Select a photograph which will be suitable at the sizes required

b) Crop and/or enhance sweveral times to create a total of ten different sizes

c) Find an archived dates block that is on the right colour background

d) Edit the dates block to conform to the curent month, change header etc

e) use transparent copy to add the date block to each of the pictures

f) save all files and upload

g) edit eight HTML files to reference the new pictures and upload

I always suspected you were stuck in the past . . .

What a fabulous calendar this month!

It's particularly splendid in 1920x1080 and I can't thank you enough for taking the trouble to produce a resolution just for me.

Hmm, I can only use the lowest resolution calander pic offered - on what I fondly regard as my "new" monitor.

I'm feeling inadequate again... :(
