We Win at Fangirl 2.0
Because it worked so well last year, that it seemed like a good reason to repeat it!

The History: Last year, [info]medelle, in the throws of withdraw tasked me with finding a ticker that could be posted to her livejournal and I did. And then we shared it with the livejournal community because we're awesome like that.

What the Banner looks like:



(note: there are other banners besides this one)

What the ticker can be used for:

Anything actually, but the graphics are all Who related.


The Fine Print:

We aren't nearly as worried about bandwidth this year as we were last year because the livejournal community has been very cool. That being said we'd ask that you some discretion in linking your banner. The banner will only work on Livejournal. Trying to post it anywhere else will result in a broken file. If for any reason it looks like our bandwidth is going to tank, we will pull the plug. [info]medelle is paying the bills, she gets the final say on that.

How can I get my very own?

WARNING SPOILER ALERT! The website linked below contains spoilers for 4x13. Big frelling spoilers. Fantastically amazing spoilers the likes of which you've never seen before. Click with caution


You can go to Here (opens in a new window) to get started.

Once you have the URL (note the URL will not have an extension on the end. This is okay, it will still work) for your banner use this code:


<center><a href="http://community.livejournal.com/photoshopranger/49403.html" target="_blank"><img src="YOUR TICKER URL GOES HERE" border="0" /></a></center>

P.S. I borked last year's banner maker. If you were using a banner for some reason it will probably have to be recreated.

P.P.S. Comments make me very happy. I like being happy. Happy is good.

Er...other than one of the images always already available on the website? Probably not, though I am entertaining ideas so if you have a screen cap you'd like to see feel free to link it. I can't promise anything but I'll certainly consider it.

You take the code, and making sure you put the url from your ticker that you picked in the right spot, you go here, http://www.livejournal.com/manage/profile/ assuming you want it in your profile. Then in the "Bio" box you paste the code with your ticker image in there. I hope that helps.

Actually I have a question, since I know nothing about tickers, if I were to upload this to photobucket, because I really hate hotlinking and taking up other people's bandwidth, will it still work? Or even if it works, would you prefer I use your site's link anyways?

Normally I'm an anti hotlinking sort of a person, but it won't work if you don't. The server puts all of it together and displays it as an image, so if you don't hotlink it won't update.

Also, depending on the difficulty of scripting etc, would love to know how to do this...

Pretty simple actually. You just need to be able to set up a MySQL database and run PHP I got the script from

Yipppeeee! This is brilliant! :D :D :D *already snagging* Thanks so muchly! ^^ This is wonderfully lovely! XD The only thing that makes me a intsy bintsy sad is that there's no banners with the Doctor laughing, because we'd probably see him laughing (and crying.. and emoing after the laughing, I think, lol..) in the next series and specials! :D But other that that, WONDERFUL DW TICKER! :D
