yeah I've already thought of what Im going to do. It's gonnna have like a summery, like innocent "schoolhouse rock" kinda feel to it with three kids skipping/walking/standing (I dunno yet) and the caption underneath will read "Three, Its the Magic Number...Yes it is, its the magic number!"

Also maybe I was thining about doing like a 70's theme with a huge kind of 70's saturday morning cartoon show (think those "keepin that funk alive commerical http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3WE0fM70X4 "3" popping out from the backround, same caption, KG RA and Garnett in the forefront.


Either one will take a while and now Im still  to jeff.

Bob, come on...Im just trying to be like that little old ant movin a rubber tree plant.

Jeff, you're right, this is hard to find images that are suitable that I don't need to black out like 30% of the image.

I've got some initial tries but I have all day tomorrow to get better, hope you give you something you could actually use. Any tips on searching for the images? (like maybe a getty images login name or something?)

by the way, anyone can help me with this, there isn't a signup sheet - just give it a shot

one of these days I'll get around to doing some more myself, but my skills are limited

a few of these are just cropped wallpaper images, so I don't take any creative credit

that looks good, but the fewer words the better - don't want to take away from the CelticsBlog title

I'm afraid that one might read "CelticsBlog.com NEW THREE" which doesn't make a ton of sense

by the way, I spent some time last night saving my images as GIFs and removing the black backgrounds so they would blend into the background of the site

in some cases that worked, in others it didn't, so I had to unpublish a few of them that looked poor

as it is, the jersey one still looks a little rough

if anyone wants to clean it up, they are welcome to do so
