Definitely yours is a better solution - and the footer looks great too now that I understand! I misunderstood the importance, thanks for correcting this because my examples DO take over the page and that is not the impact needed.

Drop Shadow grey rounded corners >> https://www.diigo.com/item/image/bhs8/xgr7 Maybe something like this, but on the right column only? I had tried both the main text and the right column back at the time, but all I got was similar to what Marcus got, and it is too obtrusive (and it doesn't play well with optional elements on the home page, like the "This site is also available in Italian" note). So a solution could be to keep it in the footer across the site, but to add a block with image, some text and rounded corners just above the "Recent blog posts" on the home page). In short: I was trying to place only the image and that didn't work, but wrapped in a div with a short text as per your latest proposals it will probably work better. Remember, there is also a 125x125 image at http://www.apache.org/ads/ApacheCon/ if this can help. > In FF 31.0, the ApacheConEU in the bottom left corner is not showing up > at all!

Can some HTTP/HTTPS paranoid security measure get in the way? But feel definitely free to copy the image to the main site and server our "local" copy instead, in case this solves the problem. > We normally use the Announcement banner -- the first blue line -- for > announcements That will need some rework sooner or later too. That space would be for project announcements, while ApacheCon is a foundation-wide event that we must surely promote, but not an announcement (I mean, this banner is supposed to stay there until ApacheCon, 17-21 November; so it shouldn't take over our announcements line).
