is a "click me" statement actually required? do most people know to click banners these days? How about "click here to find out more"? (although I know you already have something similar in the main text)

I know this is being pedantic (and I'm finding it hard to explain but here goes)... I wonder if people would be more inclined to click if it were for more information? Currently it sort of implies that clicking the banner will actually do something and people may be hesitant in doing that without more information. Am I making sense or being a blithering idiot? hehe

Also, another suggestion, would it be a good idea to link the banner to a page on nodpi.org that summarizes the campaign perhaps like the flyer posted earlier in the thread?

If the information is layed out in a clear and concise way on the page it points to it would have a greater effect than people having to wade through blog posts to try and find out what it's all about?
