Some changes and updates...

Soon both Shalimar and myself will be reopening to orders.  (Horray).  With school over for summer, there's more a lot more time to devote to the icons.

I made a bunch of MUCH-needed cosmetic changes to IconizeMe.com, tonight-  most of which you all probably won't notice.  But, here's the rundown:
- Made the white divider "lines" not so damned distracting.
-Made the text be, like, ya know-  REAL TEXT.  Before, and I have no idea why, all the text on IconizeMe.com was done in PNGs.  I guess I thought it would be easier to layout.  What a bonehead move it was.  I'm amazed it took me almost a year to change that.  As a result, I'll be able to update the site so much more than I used to.  I also changed it from a mono-spaced catastrophe to a simple Arial.  
-All the pages line up much nicer with eachother.  Readability is MUCH better.
-Gave José a much needed Featured Artist page:  http://www.iconizeme.com/jose.html
-Little things not worth mentioning.  I cleaned up little bits and pieces of code and other things-  Nothing thrilling, the HTML still sucks and will never validate.  But I don't care-  it works.  

I think that sums it up.  If you're one of the billions of people that visit the site on an hourly basis...enjoy.

Complete!

Ok!  Whew, I finally got all of my orders out the door.  According to my list, everything is completed and sent.

If you have ordered an icon and not yet recieved it, please do the following:

1) Check SPAM folders.  This happens all the time, especially because I'm sending these a ZIP files which are commonly filtered.  

2) Check for any emails from paul@dv-graphics.com.  The subject line should be "Your Iconize Me! Icon"

3) Nothing?  Drop me a line.  Either the email just didn't get through, or (worse case, and rare scenario) I've misplaced your order and not completed it.  If this is the case I will, as quickly as possible, finish your icon and get it out to you.

I hope everyone enjoys their icons.  It's always fun to see how people use them, so if you have it up on your blog/myspace/facebook/forum, I'd love to see it.
