How to post your signature picture


You must have webspace (NOT GeoCities or one of these free website hosts that don't allow remote linking. Your pictures won't show up).

You must upload the signature picture you want to use into your webpace, and then remember the URL to your picture.

Go into your Profile. In the section "signature", post your url like this, but change the ()'s to [ ] s.

(img)http://www.yourwebpsace.com/yoursignature.jpg(/img)

and it should work! If it doesn't, doublecheck that your URL is right, and that the photo is in your webspace.







How To Change Your Avatar

To change your avatar, you go into your "profile" at the top of the page.
Make sure you have the avatar you want to use saved on your computer somewhere. Near the bottom of your profile, it asks you to browse on your computer to find the image file you want to use as your avatar. It must be no larger than 10kbs and an image size of 80 x 80 pixels. You can use programs like Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro to resize images.

Good luck!






Picture Posting Tips


Thought I'd give some advice for those who are just new to posting photos.

Angelfire and Geocities webspace doesn't usually allow remote linking (storing stuff on their space and then linking it somewhere else). I recommend searching other options for free webspace. Sometimes your local internet provider will allot you space with your account. Check into that.

Remember to use post the photos like this:
(change the ()'s to []'s)

(img)http://www.theurlwhereyourpictureis.com/picturename.jpg(/img)

Hope this helps some people. Any questions, just ask.
