Hey everyone, If you are intersted in contributing graphics to the [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) site to be displayed publically at the Link to Us location ([http://www.kirupa.com/me/link.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/me/link.htm)), here are the few basic guidelines: **Link to Us Banners/Graphics** [list] [_]There is no official logo for the site, so be creative! [_]The design should be in good taste, and not offensive. [_]Try to keep the graphics compact in both filesize and dimensions. [/list] **AOL Buddy Icons** [list] [_]The width and height of the buddy icons should be 48x48. [_]The file size limit used by AOL IM is about 7k. Try keep your graphics’ size smaller than that. [_]Animated GIFs are preferred. [\*]Keep the text, graphics, etc. appropriate. [/list]Please post all graphics in this thread as an attachment or a link. **[color=darkolivegreen]PM me (kirupa) once you have added your graphics to the thread.[/color]** Cheers! Kirupa :ub: ---

two icons (thanks bill gates pals for the original ones) - im using them as icons for my next tutorial so if they’re not on the site I guess they might be added later: ![](http://www.mlkdesign.online.fr/files/kirupa/scripting.gif) (used as little pics next to tut names in the tutorial) ![](http://www.mlkdesign.online.fr/files/kirupa/bigicon2.gif) (used as frontpage link images) ---

Actually AIM Icons are 50 x 50 max and about 25 kb I think. My one is 14.97 kb :). ---

Hey Kirupa, made some buddy icons. About 4KB each. The black one is about 2KB ;). You can upload all of these to your site, none of these, or one of these :). ---

Quick question, I have no where to upload flashes to show people (and I don’t want to have to pay or become a member for them to host, believe me, I’ve seen sites like that). ---
