All the graphics on this site are free to use, except the ones used as the main layout for this site, as well as any other graphics being used specifically for this site. However, there are a few rules and guidelines I'd like you all to follow so that I can continue this site's upkeep without becoming fed up. ^_^"

1.) All graphics are linkware. This is a commonly used term now, but here's what it means: You can't use anything on this site without placing a link back to graphics by mako-chan. I don't care where it is on your site, as long as it's there somewhere. ^_^'

2.) Do not put these graphics onto another free graphics site. These belong to this collective *ALONE*.

3.) Do not state that you created the graphics, even if you have a link to graphics by mako-chan on your site somewhere. I don't care if you have no explanation, but don't put on your main page "how do you like the layout I made?" if you use one of mine. It's just rude. ^_^"

4.) Don't edit these graphics unless they are specifically made to be edited. What I mean, is, certain graphics should be changed a bit. But the limit is adding in new text, like in banners or buttons. With anything else, just leave them alone. This includes changing colors or images around.

5.) Do not direct link! If you do, I'll have to run down there and put the smack-down on you! ^_^ But, seriously, direct linking isn't going to help anyone out! It will just slow your site down, as well as my site.

6.) You may look at the code for the layouts, or the code for this site. I don't care. You can even go through and observe. That's how you learn, after all... But don't use the code on the layouts, or on this site, as your blueprint. New layouts always look much better when they're done by the owner.

That's it. Enjoy the graphics, and hopefully those rules aren't too hard to follow! ^__^
