   Hmmm.... I'm in. I think. I signed up but it doesn't seem to have completed my registration. It says "done" but it doesn't seem done. I'll check my email and see.
   Anyways "count me in".
   I love what you are doing. I've been studying climate change for many years now and the effects it would have on our planet, before it was even "officially" acknowledged in the mainstream. Great idea!

    Hi, Murray:  This is a great idea, but I'm confused about the close of the competition.  You say it closes on Friday, 24th, but the 24th is Saturday.  Does it end Friday 23rd or Sat. 24th?  Thanks!

    Funride's is clickable.  Do I insert the HTML in between the letters on the HTML text capsule that are already there, or erase what's there then paste my code..or what?

    Christoph Reillyposted 16 years ago

    Ok.  Funrides is not on hubpages.  Probably, hubpages does not allow some of the particular codes that go with this banner.  Does that seem like a logical explanation?

       That´s right Christoph, I only used the clickable banner on my blog . Hubpages never allowed html codes so I just added the picture .
       
       BTW, I´ve improved my hub (competition was getting tougher ).

    Funride:  Improved you hub?  IMPROVED YOUR HUB????  FOUL!   Oh, so you did, did you, Mr. Funride?  Do you mean to suggest that your hub was not 100% in the first place?  Did you not put as much effort into it originally?  Ha!  I would never do such a thing.  I will, however, have to go see what illegal activities you have been up to over there.  Besides, your hub was just fine.
    
    Thanks for confirming that stuff about the banner.  I figured it out eventually, but I wasn't sure, so I appreciate the confirmation.  Thanks!
