Vote Now Banner

Here is the banner you can use to post a link in your own LJ's.  I'll post instructions for those who need them tomorrow morning.  I just wanted to get the banner up now.  :)

NICE.
I know I've already had a couple of friends ask me about how they can vote. Looking forward to details—and using this lil' banner!

Oh, thank you!!

I'm worried; I don't think any of my friends who aren't members will vote! Eep. But I'll try.

I'm excited. I can't work right now due to medical reasons, so this is totally going to be the highlight of my otherwise boring-sit-at-home-and-eat-ice-cream day.
Wow, that actually sounds like a really good day.

Why wouldn't they? Just bat your eyelashes and ask 'em nicely! :)

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

I don't know! I suppose I should give them a chance.
i can't bat my eyelashes though; it hurts my eyes! I tried! ;0)

I just asked if I could post the banner in one of the communities I belong to. They're leery, but they said OK.

Just a tip-off in case anyone was thinking the same thing.

Very cool!

no alt text on the banner?

Hi. Would it be possible to add some alt text to the banner so that folks with screenreaders and other adaptive technology will hear that it's a banner to vote for us on lj idol, instead of numbers? What I mean is, when you're using access technology that reads back what's on the screen in a synthesized voice, it only reads back what it can tell is there. So far, unless I'm wrong, it only has a bunch of text that doesn't make sense to the ear. Like for example, here is what you hear when you run across the banner with a screenreader. or at least with JAWS which is one of the bigger ones. "0000zgay/s320x240". It would be cool if it would have some alt text with it that would say something along the lines of, "vote for me on LJ Idol" or something similar?Am I being too picky here? If I am just tell me to shut up and I will, LOL! I just like having stuff on my lj that *everybody* can read you know.

<img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/kithan/pic/0000zgay/s320x240" alt="vote for me on LJ Idol">

although they may want you to upload the image to your own server, in which case you could use the same code and just change the image url. ;-)

I'm so fucking excited about voting..

How long does voting last? I live on the west coast...seems like quite a few folks live on the other coastline...

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

I think it's a few days, at least.

[jldecker.livejournal.com]

Last year it was over the weekend, I think. With a new topic assigned on Monday when polls closed.

Good luck, everyone!

OMG! Almost game time!

Woot!

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

A snazzy banner!
How great!
How convenient!
How...OMG voting begins tomorrow. I may throw up.

Very nice banner!

I don't know how I should inform anyone, but this is BloodRead, and I've changed my name to moonlightmuse. I was going to do it before LJ Idol started, but I didn't have the money. I hope this doesn't mess anything up too much!!!

[toonhead.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to start the voting! For those of us without a lot of vision, could someone be kind enough to give a written description of what the banner actually looks like? Yeah I know, I'm curious...sorry!

Almost 20 minutes to go here...
