I got my DU gold star today and I want reader & mod. opinions on this:

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Is this graphic too big for a sig line?

While a picture is worth 1,000 words, can you believe the red slice of pie represents around $500 BILLION? Check out those tiny blue slices to see where Republicans think "liberal" spenders need to reign in the budget.



As many of you know, I can get long-winded. As they say, I'm not perfect, I AM for giving, (if it's to Democratic causes.)

1. Picture worth thousand words.....

I like it.

2. Congrats - here's the rule for siglines on DU:

Your signature line may not exceed 400 characters. This 400-character limit includes all characters, including spaces and URLs for links and images. You may have no more than one image (.jpg or .gif format) in your signature line at any time. This image may not exceed 500 pixels wide, 200 pixels tall, or a file size of 20 kilobytes. If you do not know if your image is in compliance, right click on it and select "Properties." You may not use any HTML code in your signature line except the special message board code for: bold, italics, links, center, and line breaks. You are limited to a maximum of two line break
tags.

7. OMG, if your trying to convince me not to change my sig line it worked!

LOL, sounds too complex but thanks for the warning.

[LeftCoast]

10. Thanks sparosnare!

Thanks for posting the rule. Jeffersons Ghost might want to look at the dimensions of the sig line photo. By my read of the rules it's 65 pixels too tall to be a sig line photo. :hi:

[Avalux]

19. You're welcome!

My old mod habits are hard to break sometimes, lol. Miss you guys. :hi:

[kiahzero]

3. You might want to scale it down a tad

Taking it down to 80% or so might make it a bit better.

4. I don't think it's too big for a sig line. If it is, a mod will let you

know...not to worry.:hi:

[ClassWarrior]

5. What's the 15% X?

:hi: Jefferson...

NGU.

[havocmom]

8. That's for Hadley to know and you to fret about

x(

[ClassWarrior]

11. Ahhh... Like Brewster Jennings and such?

NGU.

[havocmom]

13. Hey, business ventures to raise $ for black ops takes start up capital

And Rummy just can't be bothered with ALL of it.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. I'm not sure, I've always wondered. I found the chart online months ago

I bet it's discretionary spending on dark projects or something along those lines. what do you think classy warrior?

[Richard Steele]

6. It seems a little too big.

We have size rules for the siglines.
If I recall correctly, I sized my SD quarter to the height limit (200 pixels ?)

Anyway, you can find the allowed sizes listed in your "options."

[Jeffersons Ghost]

14. thanks for an example of the right size. i might can work with that

[upi402]

9. I think it's great. Clear and concise.

X = neocons looting the treasury

In addition to the Pentagon grab bag.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

15. One thing for sure: X=15% now look at housing and social services

combined. Together ALL social services and federal housing represent only about 30% of the total budget.

[upi402]

18. and the moderates think welfare needed to be cut

cuz they hate the thought of free riders getting their tax money...

[diamondsndust]

16. here ya go dude... resized to 200x200 pixels

[Jeffersons Ghost]

17. thanks and it's still readable! when they ask what the 15% represents

I can use bush quotes and say, "sorry. No, I'm not going to talk about that, because it would help give the enemy notification or, perhaps, signal to them methods and uses and sources. And we're not going to do that, which is umm, it's really important for people to understand that the protection of sources and the protections of methods and how we use information to understand the nature of the enemy is secret. And the reason it's secret is because if it's not secret, the enemy knows about it, and if the enemy knows about it, adjusts." do you think DUers will believe me even 15% of the time, if i say that diamondsindust?

[diamondsndust]

20. glad to help out....

as far as the quote goes.... it's hilarious! Run with it! If ya can't dazzle them with diamonds, baffle them with bullshit! :rofl:

[LaPera]

21. Where's the 100 plus billion a year NOT in the Pentagon budget for

Bush's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? IT IS NOT COUNTED IN ANY MILITARY OR PENTAGON BUDGET...

It is written off as debt...they don't have the funding so it's just borrowed money to finance Bush & the republicans sick, stupid wars all, ALL for corporate profit...As we sink deeper and deeper in debt that we have to pay for...What in the fuck are the 29% Bush believers thinking...

[Jeffersons Ghost]

22. unreal, you mean all that expense isn't coming from the defense budget?

it's from the trillions we borrowed from China, Iran, Iraq, England and other countries? how much do we owe now... do you know Lapera?

23. Congrats JG! Your new star looks good on ya!
