1) Open up a art program. Like Windows Paint, or Jasc Pain Shop Pro, or Photoshop. Any will do. Find a picture and resize it to the perfect size like so:
2) Choose the text tool, and write something. Like "GOG", or "Girls Only Guild", or "A Guild for Only Girls". Doesn't matter. Just put something related to the guild. Also put your avi name on there if you want credit for making it:
3) Time to teach you a little something about CSS. Do you know what a URL is? Well, it's the little address, in the address bar at the top of the page.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?gmode=index&guild_id=9275
That's the URL for the front page of the guild. Now it's time to do something with it. In order to direct the image where you want it to go you have to do this.
[URL=[/code]
After the equal sign, you would place the URL for the guild front page like:
[code][URL=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?gmode=index&guild_id=9275]
In order to end it, you have to add another bracket. Like I did above. Now it's time to show you how to add the picture.
[code][IMG]
That's how you start a picture code. Now you may be wondering how you host a picture onto the internet. Well I know a few sites. Like [url=http://www.photobucket.com]PhotoBucket[/url] and [url=http://www.imageshack.us]ImageShack[/url]. For imageshack, use the very bottom code, the "Direct Link". For PhotoBucket, use the one that looks just like an internet address. I suggest not using PhotoBucket though, because if the file is to big, it will shrink it. now to show you what to do with the URL for the image.
[code][IMG]http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/7056/2ho5.gif[/IMG]
Make sure to end the code with the /img or else it'll continue on, and you'll just get that nasty red x. Now to add two and two together.
[code][URL=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?gmode=index&guild_id=9275]
[IMG]http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/7056/2ho5.gif[/IMG][/URL]
Make sure to add the /url , or everything after it, will end up as a link. And this is what you should get:
[align=center][URL=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?gmode=index&guild_id=9275][img]http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/7056/2ho5.gif[/img][/URL][/align][/quote]make sure to add .gif or it wont work either
