	I Have A Banner Ad!
	Thanks to jonhodgson, I now have a banner ad! When more reviews come in, I'll do some further variations, but I think this is nice to be going with. It's up now on ENWorld, so hopefully that will get knowledge of the book to a few more people. Tags: game night

Hmmm, a banner that reads "This ad zapped". Guerilla marketing?

It looks like having unsubtle words like "banner" and "ads" in the URL of a gif image has caused Ad Zapper to block it.

Interesting.

And I guess I'd still pay for that to be served.

And the answer for those of you playing at home is no to the second and yes to the third.

So it's now 9 days to pay day. My two extravagances for next months have already been bookmarked.

Both are books, ones not out yet though, and it's a game rather than a book.

But seriously looking forward to get my sweaty little palms on both of them.

As someone who relies on quotes, a suggestion.

When you have the quote, SAY WHO IT'S FROM!

In a 60 pixel high animated gif?

Yes. The who it's from is smaller and underneath.

Typo alert!
Pratchett has one more T in it than you have in the banner...

Very cool design overall, though. I particularly love the colour palette you're using for everything related to the book.

Thank you hugely for spotting that!

Now fixed. And thanks again.

Just an FYI, saw the Google ad for the first time today, above a Gmail with gaming related stuff in, so targetting is working.
