and welcome to b3ta :)
A little bit of advice is not to save your work as .BMP files - they are not web friendly and tend to have huge filesizes.
You are much better to save your work as a .jpg, .gif or .png which are compressed and much smaller in size.
Welcome to the party though.
EDIT: YAY for jpeg goodness - woo to you :)

Can I threadtangent for second to make an observation re this week's compo?
The comp (as written) relates to board games and playground games... but half the entries relate to arcade/console/PC games. I'm not dissing the quality of the entries, but are we seeing the evidence of the generation that grew up entirely by the light of the cathode ray tube?
ok...drunken 30-something rant over.
