Hey, gang. I'm thrilled to report that Danny White has taken over the photo editing and publishing duties at draglist.com (causing a worldwide collective sigh of relief from all those photogs who's life's work has been rotting away unseen in my inbox).
As you know, Danny has been the main guy behind the lists since 1990 and has recently been the engine behind our 70s and 60s Funny Cars sites. But now, he's jumping in to bring Draglist.com back to its heydey of a photo EVERY DAY!
In celebration of Danny's taking over our Drag Racing Photos, we are changing the size rules. Formerly, our contributors were restricted to 468 pixels wide (6.5 inches) to allow people with 800 x 600 screen resolutions to see all the action without scrolling (and allowing our generous advertisers' messages to be seen on the side). But time and technology marches on and we've noticed that the 1024 x 768 screen resolution has clearly overtaken the 800 x 600 size in the clear majority of our visitors.
That means it's time to up our photo size to one appreciated by most of our readers -- 600 pixels wide. OK, so it's not massive, but it will show a lot more photo detail and still won't force folks to scroll when viewed on a 1024 x 768 screen. (And of course, our advertiser messages are still shown in the same screen view). We'll up it again as monitors get bigger over time, but for now, anything 600 wide or 600 tall is legal, so photographers: get 'em to us BIG!
