Ok, one last question then, and I'll start working on it: How exactly do I get the picture from paint to photobucket?

I have an idea for this, but I don't know where to make the picture, how to get a url for it, and how to make it 100x100.

So in other words your a complete noob at this OK...

You can make the art using one of tons of programs including MS Paint which comes with all windows Operating Systems, but a good one would be GIMP or Paint.net( a couple others are corel paint shop pro, and PhotoShop,but PhotoShop costs a good amount of money), all depending on what you are looking for and which program you find to be easy to use.Here are a few links.

http://www.gimp.org/
http://www.paint.net/

Now then as for where to get the URL, when you save your image that you made, you need to put it on a free image hosting site.From here you need to grab up the direct URL of the image(which the URL should end with a image format, such as .png or .jpg at the end of it depending on what format you saved the image as) Here is a link to one popular and reliable free image hosting site called Photo bucket.

http://photobucket.com/

As for your last question, when you open up a new image document I know GIMP allows you to set the parameters,but if you have issues with any of this,just contact me on my profile, or use the tutorials thread in this forum section.

Time to start on some Trampled Flowers to compliment the bitten cookies from last season.

Would trampled flowers even be allowed? Hmm...

gah ninja'd by Magix. Well Dragonball05 its quite simple, save the file, then go to your album on photobucket(by clicking on your name from the home page where it says welcome, insertnamehere) then from there it should allow you to upload images from your computer. It is fairly self explanatory though.

Ok, thanks. I'll begin working on it when I have a chance. :)

also, make an album on photobucket first. then upload the image. after that, it will give you the URL of the image that you can then post. :D

/sorry for the dp D:

yeah BTW(by the way) being politically correct I meant to say newb,as that would be the correct term. The other would be more of an insult going by the urban dictionary definition of the word. Newb = new player
Noob = Annoying person who apparently enjoys dwelling in their own ignorance. So as you can see it seemed like it would be best I make that correction. Anyways on to Gantic...

Would trampled flowers even be allowed? Hmm

I would think if implemented right they could,since it would have to look like they got trampled in the Spring time to fit the theme correctly I would suppose. Still best to get Carlie's opinion on this.

Meh, I know. I noticed, but I decided it wasn't worth saying anything about. I really couldn't care less what people call me, I just don't want them belittling me by thinking I don't know acronyms.

Now whoever said that was directed only towards you? It was more of a precautionary thing in case you didn't know. I was pretty sure you knew what it meant, but I can never know for sure.
