Simple banner to promote the Aviva Community Fund contest for forum and email signatures



Using this banner with Googlemail email as a signature:

1. Log in to you Googlemail account.
2. Under the cogwheel symbol, click 'Settings'.
3. Under 'Signature', click the 'Insert Image' icon which looks like a mountain landscape.
4. A new box will pop up - paste this link to the box called 'Image URL': http://tinyurl.com/c5a5d9n
5. As the banner itself is NOT a direct link, we suggest you include the voting link underneath, for example: "To vote, please click here: www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf13624" and make this a link by clicking the 'Link' icon which looks like a chain.
6. You will see the preview of your signature.  If you are happy with how it looks, scroll down and click 'Save Changes'.

Note: you have to enable 'rich text' for this banner to show, it does not work in 'plain text'.

Using the banner with other email providers and forums/internet groups will be similar. Some sites will allow you to make the banner itself a link too.

To embed the banner into your blog, copy the code below and include the direct link to the Aviva website to vote: (www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf13624)




**************************************************************


The Aviva Community Fund contest is an enormous opportunity for our community to win up to $150,000 for crucial cardio pulmonary medical equipment which can objectively measure Post Exertional Relapse (PEM or PENE), according to the Stevens Protocol.  This is a potential biomarker for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and one that proves what ME sufferers will already know: we cannot sustain activity beyond our limits.

The Complex Chronic Diseases Clinic (CCDC) is a newly opened clinic in Vancouver, Canada which is lead by one of the co-authors of the Canadian Criteria and the potential beneficiary of this large grant.  But we need to vote in as great numbers as possible and encourage everyone to vote too to help make this happen!!!  It doesn't matter where in the world research into ME takes place - it will benefit us all.  Anyone around the world can vote.

Please use this banner in your email signatures, internet group signatures and forum signatures to promote the contest and also please include the link to the CCDC entry to encourage people to vote (www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf13624).  The banner is designed in such a way that it works on both white and black/dark grey background and it's transparent - this is to ensure the text is legible for as many people as possible, even those people whose eyes are sensitive.
