  • LLP Graphics: Just Some Ideas

    Okay, I was asked to do some graphics for the new Life, Liberty, Property community. That’s my mistake for having voluntarily done some banners for Eric. I did my time in the uniform — I should’ve know better than to volunteer for any work detail. As an aside, never let a drill sergeant know you can type. Trust me on this.

    I dawdled and, in the intervening time, GuyS came up with some buttons. As his effort was in line with one of my concepts, I have happily swiped it and just thrown some space around it. In the choices below, the files are all jpegs. I did all my work in bitmaps and, if any are wanted for further usage, they will be saved as png files. This will mean a lower degree of compression distortion than in these jpegs, at little or no space cost.

    Anyway, here are my efforts to date (UPDATE: png files are now available):

    Any feedback is, of course, appreciated. We are talking about a voluntary collection of individuals, after all.

  • Life, Liberty, Property Hits the Ecosystem

    No, this is not related to the recent Kelo decision. Well, not directly.

    Eric from Eric’s Grumbles Before the Grave has established a new community as part of the Truth Laid Bear‘s blogosphere ecosystem. The group is appropriately called Life, Liberty, Property and is meant for bloggers whose political beliefs are of a libertarian bent. Other plans for the LLP community are being discussed, including a possible spin-off group or best-of type blog. Personally, I’ve added a link and a community blogroll script to my menu column in a new “Communities” section.

    Additional blogging may be light or non-existent tonight, as I have happily taken on the task of creating some potential graphics for the group. Meanwhile, feel free to check out the blogs of the other members of Life, Liberty, Property.
