Photo of the week

hey all,

I was telling Josh I really liked the way the front page looked with Toms photo on the page. It adds a lot of color and interest when you enter the site, plus it's nice to look at.
We talked out having a slide show there eventually, but before that happens It thought we could choose a different photo each week to display in that spot.
all you have to do is link the photo in this thread and we can choose the best to display. this does not have to be a contest, just pick the best photos you like and eventually they will get seen.

I think it would be a great idea. Or you guys can have a photo of the day from the members galleries. Of course, you need the TOTM.

I wonder if the random reefs spot would fit in there? You could turn it into a slide show or keep it the same as now having the pic change everytime you hit the home key.

TOTM and POTM contests would be cool too. You could post pics there of the winners.

After giving it some thought, photo of the week would be better. That would give the members more time to submit their photos, and more time to have it displayed.

we would like to do the big slide show, but it needs to be programed, so till that happens I'll be posting one new photo a week.
