NOTE: Only the first three grid files are active at this time. The avatar head showing is an example of an occupied cell.
This grid project is for Yahoo avatars only. Each cell is coded to display an avatar head shot that points to the public view of the related 360 file where the full size animated avatar can be viewed after clicking on the head shot. Only the Yahoo ID is required to be edited into the code of a cell to activate that cell. The first bench mark goal is 1,000,000 avatars but there are no numeric limits. The first 1,000,000 is planned to exist in 100 files of 100 x 100 grids. All the active cell graphics are called from the Yahoo site so the load speed for each grid should be good and any previous to loading changes to avatars will appear. Grids are designed for easy viewing and use. Scroll over pop up messages may exist in each cell. Each cell size is 48 pixels high by 48 pixels wide. Production will be a function of level of response and
resources available. All grid positions and files are considered equal access. Cell placements should be considered fixed but some movement may occur. IDs will be coded in the order received. Cell placements may be obtained with a one time contribution of $1 each. Multiple cells may be aquired. Payment is to be made by paper check (personal, business, cashier's, ect.), money order, cash or from a PalPal account (instructions are farther below) together with a printed copy of the Yahoo ID(s) to be edited into the code and any short pop up message(s) to be included. Cash should be no larger than $1 bills because the security strips in larger bills make them detectable. A security envelope or extra paper should be used to hide the contents. No planned time limits exist for how long this grid will last. Backup files exist for any problem control. The URL may not constitute a domain name but a link is only one click long and the URL can be copied and pasted where needed. A domain name may exist later depending on the response to this project.

or if paying by PayPal:
If you’re not already a PayPal user, sign up at www.paypal.com. It doesn’t cost
anything.
Set up your FREE personal PayPal account. It's extremely safe and very easy to
set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and paste this URL to the address bar -
https://www.paypal.com (Notice the secure "https" within the link).
The personal account does not take any fees out of received payments
funded by PayPal Balance, PayPal Instant Transfer or PayPal eCheck so this is
the type of account everyone should choose and these are the payment methods
that should be used so everyone collects 100% of each payment. Personal
accounts can only receive payments funded by Credit Card, Debit Card or Buyer
Credit at the rate of 5/year and the fees are too high for $1.00 payments to be
worth much so do not use these methods of payment. Information collected to
create a personal account may include a bank account or card information for
verification but is not required.
IMMEDIATELY go to "Send Money".
Review the Paypal demo on
how to send money by clicking the "See Demo" button over the form. The demo
for "I’m already a PayPal user." is the model to follow, not "I’m a new user."
because these payments all go to a personal account so credit cards are not to
be used except to place money in your own account. Place enough money into your PayPal sccount.
Enter the following into the form:
"To:" tardiskeep.tk@gmail.com
"Amount:" (enter the total amount)
"Currency:" USD - U.S. Dollars (Always send the money in "USD - U.S. Dollars".)
"For:" Service/Other
(Click "Continue")
"Message To Rcipient: Subject" Add my Yahoo avatar(s) to the grid.
"Message To Rcipient: Message" (Enter the Yahoo ID(s) and any short pop up message(s) to be included.)
This is all done on the Paypal site. There is no need to
send an email directly to the listed address.
Monthly limits on a personal PayPal account:
For security reasons, there are initial limits on the amount of money one can
send, receive, and withdraw from a personal PayPal account. It’s easy to
lift these limits – simply verify bank account or card information.
Receiving limits apply only to the following payment types: eBay Items, Auction
Goods (non-eBay), and other Goods. No other payment types affect the receiving
limit.
To sign up for a FREE Premier or Business account one MUST make sure to get
confirmed and VERIFIED first, before one can start to receive credit card
payments. This process can take up to 2-3 business days to complete GETTING
VERIFIED which would be a waste of time for this program. All methods to
receive payments in these accounts would take about 1/3 of a $1.00 payment
so the personal account is much better for this program. One can always
upgrade later if needed.
This project is not part of Yahoo but it should solve many logistical problems for avatar creators who want to promote something with their 360 file or just show off their avatar. Many do not have time to waste playing online friends games. Contests show a pixelated still of the avatar instead of the detailed animation. This project is not an official directory and duplications may occur and are allowed. The main problem is informing all Yahoo avatar users this grid exists. All participants are encouraged to notify all the avatar creators on their friends and fans lists about this project. Everyone has the right to know. Rapid growth on this project to reaching the bench mark could get everyone involved high levels of publicity and free advertising. CNN made several reports on the milliondollarhomepage as that neared completion.
