Hello, and welcome to Abby's Alley Graphics & More.
It is quite unfortunate that I have had to make this page, but it has become necessary.

Please read this entire message before proceeding through this site. If you do not understand something I've explained here, or have a question regarding something I haven't covered here, by all means, email me. I'm not a mean person, I promise. :)

Linkage: Please feel free to text link  (http://www.abbysalley.katra.co.uk/) Or, you may use one of the banners below if you prefer. Left click to have banner open in new window. Then right click to save to your hard drive. 

Do not directly link to the banners on my site. 

Do not link to any of my graphics or files. This is called bandwidth theft, and referred to as "hotlinking ".

If you feature one of my tutorials on your group, I'd love to see the results. It is not mandatory, but would be a nice gesture if you'd send me a link to view. Besides, seeing what folks are doing with our tutorials keeps us writers motivated to write more.
;)

Tutorial useage: You may print out my tutorials for your personal use. I do not, however, give permission to save or copy my tutorials in any other form. This includes emailing my pages, in part or in whole.

Translation: I do not allow my tutorials to be translated. The only exception to this rule is Jannie. I've granted her permission to translate my tutorials to Dutch and a wonderful job she has done on them. You can view them here. If you see any of my tutorials on any other site, please email me. All email concerning this will remain confidential.

I offer my tutorials for free. Many tutorial writers have gone to pay memberships or have completely removed their tuts from the web. They've done this out of pure frustration with amateur "tutorial~writer~wanna~be's" that steal other people's work instead of showing thier own creativity in writing original works. For this reason, a newfound organization of wonderful tutorial writers dedicated to protecting our tuts and our files has formed. If you have considered or are considering the theft of a tutorial or using the bandwidth of someone else's website via hotlinking - reconsider! If you are a tutorial writer and are interested in joining, there is now a yahoo group that is very supportive and informative concerning this topic. Please include your website address and the reason you want to join or you will be denied membership.

Now that the ugly stuff has been spelled out, please continue on and have a great time creating. :)
