Index of Subjects Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been working very hard to get our Web Cam page running. There have been many people involved, and the work seems to be finally paying off. I would like to address the issue of the banner ads. As far as the content and basic design of the page goes, the Communications Committee has been involved in the process. The only reason we gave the "go ahead" on the expenses for the web cam, was the projection that Chebucto would bring in more revenue through banner advertising. This remains the main priority for this page. Today, we are getting the most hits we have ever gotten and we need people to see the banner ads so they can see how their ads would look. Why would they buy advertising for a banner ad that is not even represented on the page? I agree with James that the scrolling is necessary and not really that bad. If the Communications Committee were consulted last week, we would have been happy to come up with a solution before this. As the time is crucial for us to have the banner up at this time, I ask that you replace it as soon as possible. If you would like to make alterations to it, that is fine. Please consult with James for the new wording or look of the banner. In the future, I would request that the Communications Committee be informed of an desired changes. I'm not tying to be difficult, just that this problem could have been solved quicker had we known about it in advance. :) -Krista Olmstead -Communications Chair On Wed, 19 Jul 2000, Mike Cormier wrote: > James; > When you out weigh the fact that this add takes up space and > causes users to scrool vs. it saying that "Banner Add's Atract Attention", > it doesn't say "Call Chebucto To get your Banner Ad placed here", It > doesn't even really say that Chebucto does banner adds or how to get you > add placed online.
