New Banner
JP with his artistry and eye for detail made me a new banner today.
It was a nice surprise, as my blog banner and profile pics were hijacked and deleted yesterday by some unknown vandal. Someone went to my file hosting site and had my banner and profile pic reported as offensive.
I'm notoriously unorganized but after searching old backups I was able to recover an old copy. However I really like this new one quite a bit.
My hat's off to JP, a scholar and a gentleman.

Looks good Mr H! How could your blog be vandalised like that?
I like it...Good work JP.
Damn Vandals!
Oh.... I see BBC look'n right at me.
And he is beside a monkey..... Now that's priceless.
mutley, my pics were claimed to be offensive at the file hosting site I was using.
mrsjosegoldbloom Indeed :)
Ryan: cool huh? :)
Thanks for the link up Hammer. Glad it'll work for you. I tossed in a few of your regulars to help make it complete but realized there were so many, it might get too cluttered. Left a couple because they just fit nicely. That's BBC keeping an eye on all us monkeys up there indeed.
I like it alot!
The banner is great. And it fits your blog nicely.
Well, I like...as far as my opinion goes.
How could the old ones be offensive? Just some goon jacking with you?
Anyway, the new one is extremely cool.
I like it. Sorry somebody jacked you off :)
Jenny: thanks me too :)
jenafear: I agree :)
mushy: thanks :)
alan: I generated some hate with my "why I carry" post. I had to delete some offensive posts and got some private anonymous Emails calling me nasty names. I guess that's the price I pay for having pro-gun content, as this it the first time anyone has felt the need to mess with me.
It'll take a while for me to get used to the new one. Unbelievable how someone managed to delete your banner, you're lucky they didn't delete the whole blog.
janet: I've had that happen to three friends. I was lucky, but who knows it could be gone tomorrow.
I can't see your new banner. All I see at the top is the words "image and video hosting by TinyPic" and a little red x next to that. Darn it.
How do people do stuff like that? Do they somehow find out your password in order to delete the banner? Everyone has a right to have their own opinions and apparently someone out there doesn't agree. Ridiculous!
Hammer, I am shocked!!! I don't have words!!!
I like your new banner though. That was really nice of JP to come to your help so fast.
It is then you notice your real friends.
good work JP!
but you still nee a "Dear Hammer" logo
I am drunk.
So someone was illegitimately harassing you. I feel neglected. I made a post on that topic a long time ago and never got any hate mail.
I like the new one - it's very cool.
Why can't people let other people have their own opinions? If they didn't like your "why I carry" post, then don't come back or don't read it or whatever, but leave you alone.
There are so many sides to us humans, do we have to like ALL of those sides to read someone's blog? It's like complaining about something on TV when you could just SWITCH IT OFF!!
cindi:I don't mind when people disagree but sometimes instead of being civil some just want to make trouble.
kirsten: It was very kind of him indeed.
infini, Happy birthday, you deserved a good drink :)
alan: It was my first hate mail ever, I felt special. ;)
kb: I agree, I try to take the good with the bad and if the bad starts getting too heavy I change the channel like you said.
Oh Hammer your banner is great, you're lucky that your friend JP made one for you; I've been trying very hard to make one for me with no success so far!
It certainly rocks hammer! Is that you in the right hand corner??? Beside the doggie?
It looks good, Hammer!
The new one looks very professional. I like it a lot.
Now, what kinda crack was someone smoking to report your other one as offensive? I don't get it, and didn't the powers that be at least go look before taking it down?
Hey - I like it!!! That's sharp. The font is perfect for your name/site. I'm sorry some pud did that, Hams.
Ohh.. I like it a lot Hammer!
Good work JP!
Somebody is a real ass. But I like the new look.
Hammer, I can see your banner now!
Not sure why I couldn't view it last night. Must have been my computer. It looks great!
Cool. Artsy fartsy. Can't believe one person could fuck you up like that. Bastards!
Kitem: I made my first one by cutting and pasting in the windows paint program. I think JP uses a much fancier progam and gets those fantastic results that way. I hope to learn how eventually :)
judith: Nah I'm not in there but JP has been reading my blog since the beginning and used elements he's extrapolated from posts and commenters.
AD: Thanks :)
JAM: Thats the thing with tinypic.com, they don't care what the report is about they just delete probably automatically.
barista: I agree JP did a great job.
groovy: thanks :)
carrie: Yeah, hopefully they got their jollies and will leave me alone now.
cindi: sometimes the hosting site doesmaintenence at night, I couldn't see it either for an hour.
FHB: thanks, yeah I'm not as good about security as I should be.
