Preamble:

First things first...a brief explaination of the site with some definitions thrown in to help ease the purchase process...

You have seen by now that the homepage is a 10x10 grid of blocks. Each of these blocks is a 'high altitude' view of 100 PicoPosterlandscapes. Each landscape is a 1000x520 pixel montage of 10x10 pixel images created by bloggers and advertisers. Each blogger/advertiser has sent us an image, a hyperlink and a snippet of text. These 3 things together are called a PicoPoster.

The PicoPoster s in each landscape are created from individual 10x10 blocks of pixels. Some clients purchase a single block of 100 pixels, others purchase more so that they can create more elaborate posters.

So, when purchasing space for your PicoPoster you are actually purchasing multiples of 10x10 blocks of pixels.

Charges:

The fee is a single, one time, up front payment. Your PicoPoster will be on our website for at least 5 years.
The required payment is calculated like this: the number of blocks you want x US$50.
For example:

1 10x10 PicoPosters = US$50.
4 10x10 PicoPosters = US$200.
8 10x10 PicoPosters = US$400.

There is no maximum purchase.

After deciding how many 10x10 blocks of pixels you want you must decide which landscape(s) your want them to appear in. You may place your block(s) of pixels in any part of the chosen landscape that is not already occupied.
