Rules

1. You MUST have some knowledge of HTML: I would love to help you out with your layout, that's what I'm here for. Every layout comes with a file entitled "readme!.txt" that walks you through the steps neccissary to set up your layout. However, I cannot teach you HTML itself. If I had to do that with everyone, I would never get other layouts done. Also, I not longer install layouts!

2. Do NOT remove the credits: When I make you a layout, there will be credits in it. This includes a small "TABDesigns" in the top corner as well as my name credited for the layout under your Site Stats section. Please do not remove these! If I take the time to make you a layout, I don't want you to take credit for it.

3. Before even accepting your order, you need to link back: Please provide a link somewhere on your site to Take a Breath Designs before or shortly after ordering. It does not have to be on your main page or anything, just have it somewhere.

4. Try to provide me with at least 3 pictures: Having at least 3 pictures is much easier to work with. You can provide more, but I would like at least 3. An exception to this would be if one picture you want me to use is very wide. If you have no preference for specific pictures, give me the name of the person or people you want featured in your layout and I will do the best to find some pictures for you. However, doing it this way, you can't guarantee that you will like the pictures I choose.

When providing me with pictures for your layout, please make sure that they are from the same photoshoot or event and that they are high quality! This will make your layout look much better than if you provide me with random photos that aren't high quality. The only exception is if you want more of a collage/scrap book/pop art like layout with a bunch of different pictures, but not blended together.

5. Allow up to 3 weeks before asking questions: Most of the time I can get around to your layout in 1 week. I do, belive it or not, have a life outside of the Internet though and sometimes that life can make me extremely busy. I hope that it will not take me that long to make you a layout, but it just might. So please, refrain from asking me about it until that 3 week mark.

6. Keep your layout up for at least 2 weeks: I know some people tend to tire of layotus easily, but if I take the time to make you a layout, I would greatly appreciate it if you would keep it up on on your site for at least 2weeks.

7. Be specific: When describing to me what you want your layout to look like, be as specific as possible. Describe to me what you are thinking of. This includes the size, if you want it all blendy or something else, if you want your links in your header, any certain colors you want, etc. The more specific you are, the more likely I will understand what your vision is.

8. No redos!: I am sorry but if you do not like your layout the first time, I will not redo it. Be as specific as possible when describing to me what you would like. I cannot read minds. I will, however, redo your layout if there is a typo or special circumstances.

9. I only accept 7 orders at a time: So that I do not get completely overwhelmed and have to close down the site, I only accept 7 orders at a time. Once I recieve 7 orders, I will take down the order form. As soon as I complete ALL of the orders, it will go back up.

10. Do NOT steal my coding: I put a lot of time and effort into creating my own style of coding and would appreciate it if you would not copy/steal my coding and pass it off as your own. I don't mind if you use some of the basic things in the CSS or index pages, but do not copy it exactly. Make some changes so that it does not look exactly like my coding. If you use my exact coding and just change colors, please credit me. If I find out you have used my coding without credit, you will be in serious trouble and banned from ever ordering anything from here again!

11. Type this at the end of your order description: "promises are broken." If you do not type this at the end of your order description, I will know that you have not read the rules. I didn't think I would have to do this but several people have not been reading the rules before they order.

12. If you order a layout, you must use it!: If you order a layout and I take the time to make it for you, you must put it up on your site at some point. If not, don't think about ordering here again.

If I think of any more rules, I will post them up here. These rules are subject to change at any time, so occassionally check back.
