    Smile Magical Snowmen in the Header

    I like the snowmen, there was one before now they must be breeding. I think the 2nd one has had too much of a jolly time already before Xmas

    I am glad you like my snowmen,

    I was wondering who would be the first to notice them you won that one and to be so observant to notice the alteration afterwards to give him a friend... I think I agree though the second one is starting the celebrations early.

    With less that a week to go I think it is time to accept Christmas is truly here

    I hope you have a very merry Christmas Neil, and a happy new year also.

    And all the best to you and your family for Christmas and New Year, and the rest of the vBSEO staff.

    How did you make them by the way? I tried to make one on my header but it was a case of a circle here and a circle there, got bored, got annoyed, stuck with what i'd attempted....

    They look ace.

    Hey Neil,

    But if I told you a secret of the snowmen would they still be magic?

    They are basically just a background image on the .doc_header section (block above the navigation).

    Code:
    /* Snowman Banner */
    .doc_header { background: transparent url(/images/snowman2.png) no-repeat 206px 0; }
    /* End Snowman Banner */
    Please feel free to use the CSS but I am afraid I do not own full rights on the images so I would need to ask that you don't use the guys in white though .

    Ah thanks Ceri, I did a search on Google for Free Transparent Background Snowmen and found one, a little scary but looks good:

    I have to agree slightly scary, almost reminds me of a slightly calmer 1996 Jack Frost lol...

    Great work Ceri!

    They blend so well with the new vBSEO design.

    Merry Christmas to all of you (staff and customers) and may God bless you always.

    I just can't associate snowmen/snow with December. Never having actually even touched the stuff, the nearest example would be a good 2 hour flight away.

    To me, Christmas = sweltering heat, tomato plants desperate for water, and me driving to the beach every few days to rehydrate.

    My sister lives in Auz and it confuses me because she spends her christmas day down the beach with some mates... and I am at home temperatures outside are -5deg c... temperatures inside my house about -8deg c as have no heating ATM :|

    Very nice, it's a little cold here at the moment. -3 last time I checked. Wasn't expecting snow but we got it.





    And now it's just started raining.......was hoping to have a white Xmas!

    And here's my daughter, about to catch something, a cold no doubt!

    She has all that space to build a snowman, but no, let's build it on the wall....

    I was getting jealous of all the photo sharing when I couldn't get my photo's of the cammera and phone (due to lost cables)

    So I had to go and make an effort...



    And yes I come clean the snowman is Fake there isn't quite enough snow to build one yet
