Then e-mail your proposal to them.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF_Oi_naWSMdvXF3dWpZkAIvH39zDJzChl8Rr76CiWqGC2FYAQaxXNoI15yHRhVNqNqA5o4gDwlqEMBMYit-dmoMQlQzHTMr1-ypSM5Z68cjZE8BZif1KfFYEet4N0sT-HcdRYLwPH7Dgb/s1600-h/Picture+14.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123099786708749666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF_Oi_naWSMdvXF3dWpZkAIvH39zDJzChl8Rr76CiWqGC2FYAQaxXNoI15yHRhVNqNqA5o4gDwlqEMBMYit-dmoMQlQzHTMr1-ypSM5Z68cjZE8BZif1KfFYEet4N0sT-HcdRYLwPH7Dgb/s400/Picture+14.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 547px; height: 298px;" /></a><br /><br />Or, better yet e-mail it to me and I will post my readers' designs here.<br /><br />For those of you who want options, I've offered you an alternative template here that has the fare box on the side as well - which is a reality that the designer will have to deal with. That's right folks, I'm not going to make it easy:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzw_J_2dbUvA0HqvZgJaxTnODohE-88IJXywJBrTcuuZFBahUGrvzegAfywPTUjPnunDiVm06PNj7sazTz4VkG6iaFXh9G1D9FyS_I2i1bPJuUbz1EJX13pHOF7TMp70yxMlM_vfm4pEi/s1600-h/nytaxitemplate.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123108707355823474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzw_J_2dbUvA0HqvZgJaxTnODohE-88IJXywJBrTcuuZFBahUGrvzegAfywPTUjPnunDiVm06PNj7sazTz4VkG6iaFXh9G1D9FyS_I2i1bPJuUbz1EJX13pHOF7TMp70yxMlM_vfm4pEi/s400/nytaxitemplate.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 550px; height: 341px;" /></a><br /><br />Just send me your redesign by Monday (that's only the weekend people) on either template as a jpeg. If it is realistically within the design guidelines- please no deviant or joke entries, I'll be happy to share your design on this blog with my readers.<br />Send design entries to lauralsweet@mac.com.<br /><br />Okay Hacks, get to it!<br><br>
