"Good evening gentlemen (and Ray). This is your Senior Flight Attendant here with a request for when you submit your entertainments. Please can you ensure that you:
1) include your name (as per the points table) in the post title
2) include a summary of what has been submitted (how many foot, mounted etc, what scale) at the end of your post and also note any bonuses that you think you are due
3) fill out the "Labels" - name, scale, island location, period/game, manufacturer etc"
"Please can you also format your pictures so that they are "large" and centred with a blank line between photos and text. Please also remember that the maximum size in any direction (height or width) should be 1000 pixels."
"If you can remember to do these things, it would be a great help to your hard-pressed flight crew and will save us a lot of unnecessary faffing around."
"Thank you once again for choosing to fly Snowlord Airways."
Thanks for the reminder, Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteWill be back to draft on my next shift!

ReplyDeleteI thought it was 1000px
"your images must be between 800-1000 pixels across the
Deleteimage top"
Actually 1024 would be much nicer as that is one of the defaults in most image editing software.
You are quite right about the 1000 pixels - I've edited the post to correct that.
DeleteThe reason for 1000 x 1000 is that photos of that size or smaller don't count towards Blogger's storage limits.
That's probably why they don't charge for a non-standard size or smaller ;)
DeleteThe 800-1000 pixels stems from a conversation between several of us years ago. We liked liked the size not only for storage considerations, but also because many felt that larger image size / finer resolution often didn't flatter our work. Sort of like how many news anchors weren't terribly happy with the onset of high definition television. What was very attractive at Standard Def was sometimes ,um, 'reduced' at higher resolution. :)
DeleteYes, I usually notice glaring errors in the photos. Typically it's a bit of static grass or dust fibre that I did not see with my (poor) naked eye.
DeleteAye aye skipper.
