Today I have made a small update to the contact page and layout list page. Basically im getting sick and tired of people expecting to have everything for free. Im seriously considering taking off one layout each time someone says 'can I have a personal layout for free'.

It would not annoy me as much if there was maybe a sniff of politeness in there, its always 'I want this', or 'I want that'. Children with no manners do not deserve anything in my opinion, would it kill you to say 'Please' or 'Thank You'. I think not.

People do not seem to realise that its not free to keep this site online which is why personal layouts cost real money and donations are urgently needed.

Surly the fact that there are currently 89 free layouts on the site and people still want more and everything for free is just selfish on their half.

Anyway - Rant over.

Talking of Nothing you can buy a friend litterally nothing at www.amazon.co.uk

What better present for the person who has everything than a poignant reminder that they want for nothing? This lovingly crafted vial of emptiness is filled to the brim with unfettered nothingness. Free from the burden of possessions, the weight of responsibility, Nothing is as idiotic as it is brilliant. Indeed even old Macbeth, though mad as a kipper, realised that life, whilst full of sound and fury (and that was before iPods) is inherently daft and ultimately signifies Nothing. And let us not forget, that 'Nothing' is so important that most of our universe - and the contents of a lot of people's heads - appears to be made up of it. It's a statement, an empty gesture if you will, a nod at the futility of ownership, and yet despite 'Nothing' being nothing, it is of course packed with millions of protons, neutrons and what have you, which is pretty good for Nothing.

Hopefully tomorow will bring something better.

Today I got word that someone has been illigally submitting images to my gallery without the full permission of the owner of the image. Im getting really sick of this now, things like this make me want to just shut down my site for good. Why do people always have to spite me all I am trying to do is offer a free layout service for people that cant afford to buy layouts and people have to go and scew everything up.

It clearly says in my gallery 'Remember you can only submit images that you have taken yourself as you will be held liable for any copyright infringements that may occur if you send in any images you have taken off websites, as it is illegal. ' Why are people so retarded and cant understand that taking images without permission can get you in a LOT of trouble, I dont mean a stern word from the owner of the image I mean a bloody prison sentance!

Why cant people understand that
STEALING IS WRONG AND IS A SERIOUS CRIME

From now on I will be storing ALL email addresses of people who submit images to my gallery so THEY can get the wrap for THEIR illigal activities.

I know this is not the nicest blog entry to read but unfortunatly thats life, everything is not perfect or runs smoothly. Just get over it and on with the next problem.

Now my rant has finished I can say that two layouts have had to be remade due to the problem stated above. The new designed layotus are Barrels of Fun and Morning Glow. If you had the old version on your page you will now see the new version since the images are hosted on my server.

Today I have updated the Schleich Model Horse section again, now you can view ebay listings for the United Kingdom and America, simply by pressing the flag of your country to view the results for the horses.

Not only this I have also added a Breyer horse model section which will allow you to view Breyer model horses that are for sale in the UK and USA ebay.

I hope you will choose to purchase a horse model through my site it will benefit us greatly and help keep us online another month.

Another update such a rare thing to happen, anyways I have added a poll to my site to help get some input from my site visitors. Basically I am thinking of allowing visitors to my site to be able to create an account and display and distribute their own layouts. So far 3 out of 3 votes say Yes they would be interested in this feature.

Also today I have added a new section to EbonyGraphix which is the Horse Models section, basically I have become an official affiliate with Ebay and am allowed to advertise products which are avaliable in the auction. At the moment I have only added a Ebay.co.uk auction snippet but I will be adding an Ebay.com one too for the American visitors. Currently I am advertising the famous German model maker Schleich-S however I will also be adding the famous Breyer horse models to the site also so if anyone is interested EbonyGraphix will be the place to get them.

Basically if you see any items you like in the ebay listings then buy them through my site! It will help support EbonyGraphix and keep us going another month.

Well today I have updated my site a little, basically I have changed the front page a little and changed the font on the site to Comic Sans basically because childeren seem to like it. However I have not added any new layouts this month simply due to the fact that no-one has tried to help support the site this month.

I have also added a tutorial section to the menu where you can view videos of artists creating and drawing horses using PhotoShop CS2. Which you may find interesting.

My life has been exceedingly busy these last few months, and my world has been spun around so many times im just dizzy with everything thats going on. Last month 7 people bought personal layouts from myself, and indeed as I said would happen 7 new layouts were added.

Like I have said before its not free for me to keep this site online, and since its for no purpose of my own I am only updating with new layouts when a site guest chooses to buy a personal layout.

The money from the personal layout purchases goes back into the server and hosting costs for my site.

If you think its wrong for me to charge real money for the use of my personal layout generator well I think you are very selfish, as there are over 80 free designs for you to chose from. You cant expect to get everything that you want for free in life, it just doesnt work like that.

And also when people contact me I would like some politeness, instead of the usual 'GIVE ME WHAT I WANT'. Its highly disrespectful, and you should know that ' I WANT' does not get!
