lol no worries, this is fine . I might be able to help you with this a bit, but I first need to know what program you are planning on using to make the banners. And if you don't have a program already, I can recommend you a couple of trials. Let me know and I'll try to help you out the best that I can!

No worries, we'll start there . So the first thing you need to do is download a program that you can make banners with. Here is a trial one that I would recommend: www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1185293041793?trkid=googlepsp&trkid=14930115&gclid=CPGe-Z-ikpECFR2SQAod3U0MGAThat is a trial for the most recent version of Paint Shop Pro. Paint Shop Pro is a very popular graphics making program. I use of the older versions of Paint Shop Pro, and I love it. I've had that trial before and the program is amazing. Push "Try" on that webpage and a download box will popup. Go through the download, and let me know once you have the program downloaded on your computer.

lol sounds good. Once you download it, what I would suggest doing is just fooling around with it. See what all of the buttons do. Copy and paste some images in, and change the colors of it, use different erasers, etc. I think you'll have some fun with it. Once you get a little more familiar with the program itself I'll help you out with getting started on making banners.

I'm sure you will pick up on it very quickly . I know you'll get the hang of it. Before starting on blending and that sort of thing, why don't you just make a banner by pasting in images and adding little things. (File, New). Put in the size you want it (you can experiment with sizes you like). And then paste different images in.
