Welcome to Blinkies By Alexis©
Speciality graphics made by request!
RULES & FAQ
1) Please do not resize or disfigure my work!
-Do not ask other blinkie artists to alter my blinkies in anyway either.
-If I have a blinkie you like that you want with wording please request it from me.
-All graphics on this site are copywrited to me and I will not tolerate alterations to my work in ANY WAY!
2) Do NOT Direct Link!
-Direct linking is when you just copy a blinkie from my site and paste it onto another. This is bandwith theft and it causes my site to work improperly and load very slowly...It also causes my blinkies to not work correctly.
***To use the graphics from this site, do the following***
*Right click and "save" the blinkie to your computer in a folder where you will be able to find it.
*Go to either http://www.photobucket.com or http://tinypic.com to upload the grapic and then use the codes provided to put the blinkies into your sites or signatures or webpages.
3) Please give credit!
-If you are displaying my work on a page that is a collection of adopted blinkies/graphics...then please link back to my site using my URL .
-You DO NOT have to give credit if your just using my stuff on your MySpace or signatures.
Please allow up to ten (10) days for requests to be filled. If I cannot fill them in that amount of time I will notify you!
1) Don't be greedy!
*No more than 3 blinkie requests, per email, per week!.
*When requesting photo blinkies/tags, please limit them to 1 per email, per week....also limit 2 photo's per blinkie.
*When requesting a photo tag, please limit the amount of photo's to 5, as its hard to get anymore on the tags along with wording.
*When requesting watermarked photos...limit them to 10 photos per email, per week.
*Photo avatars count as photo blinkies, so only 1 per email, per day as well!
2) Be specific about colors, size, wording and graphics
I'm not a mind reader and will not remake something if you dont like the colors or font if you were not specific in your email.
If you state "colors and fonts don't matter"...then I pick what I like.
The font's I use can be found at: www.fontface.com
3) Please proof read your emails
If you mispell a name or word or give me a wrong date on a photo tag/blinkie...I will NOT remake it.
These graphics take alot of time and effort and I dislike having to remake them due to failure to proof read an email.
FAQ's
I will not respond to any messages/emails that ask the following questions::::
1) What program do you use to make your graphics?
PSP7, Jasc Animation Shop 3, Scrapbook Max & Photo Impression 4.
2) Where can I find some tutorials and learn how to make them myself?
Go to Yahoo or Google and type in "PSP Blinkie Tutorial" or "PSP Glitter Name Tutorial"
3) Where do you get your graphics you put into your blinkies? And your glitters?
If someone says "I want a blinkie with a jeep on it"...I simply type into Google Images "Jeep Gifs" and just browse till I find one I like.
For glitters I type in "PSP Glitter Fills".
4) Why do you only take 1 photo blinkie/tag request per person per week?
Because I used to take them like regular blinkie requests...4 per day...and people got greedy and started sending me literally 20 per week.
It takes me a long time to get the pictures cropped and ready to put into a blinkie so therefore its just easier on me to do it 1 per person per week.
5) Why don't you have many military blinkies for girlfriends and fiancee's?
Because the majority of people I talk to online are wives and they usually request from me. For me to make a blinkie for every branch for each person (wives, gf's and fiancee's) would mean I have to make 18 blinkies of the same thing and that is very tiring...I simply make them by request...if you want one that is displayed for wives from my site, simply request that I make it say what fits you (ex: mom, girlfriend, sister, etc...) and I'll be happy to make it for you!
6) If you make avatars and backgrounds why don't you have any displayed on your site?
Because I usually just make them for myself or friends and they are specifically for us. If you want one, feel free to request...I promise my work on those are just as good as my blinkies/glitter names!
7) Why do you take so many "blinkie breaks" and stop taking requests?
Because beleive it or not I have a life!! I have a wife and mother of 3 (two of which are very small and demanding of my time). This is a relaxing hobby that I like to do in my spare time...I dont get paid for it, so its not like I have to do it everyday...I hope everyone understands that!
8) Will you ever make layouts for MySpace or websets for websites?
Nope...I'm sticking to blinkies....Check out Yahoo or Google and just type in "Premade MySpace Layouts".
I'm not good with the whole HTML thing.
9) How do I use your graphics on my websites/MySpace?
To use blinkies on MySpace you will need to create an account with www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.com
a) upload them to your account
b) come back to myspace and go into "edit profile"
c) in the "about me" section paste your codes that start with < img
10) Why do my blinkies not "blink" when I save them and how can I fix this?
If your having issues with your blinkies not blinking after you save them do the following:
a) Go to "tools" (on your browswer)
b) Internet settings
c) Delete Cookies
d) Delete temporary internet files
e) Once that is done hit the F5 button to refresh you internet
f) Resave
If this does not work you may need to do a virus scan or reboot your computer.
11) When do you take requests?
I always take requests...unless there is a message on my site or here saying I'm on a break....there is no need to ask me if you can make a request.
As the days go on..I'll add more to this because I get questions everyday...but these seem to be the most frequent ones.
