Putting links in your signature
If you want to link your blog or profile from another website, start by copying the URL of the web page then:
1. Click on Profile on the tabs at the top left 2. Click on Edit Profile over on the right of your profile page 3. Click the Personal tab 4. Scroll down to the Signature box near the bottom of the page, then copy in this (without the spaces - I've had to put these in to stop it making a clickable link here!): [ url = PASTE THE URL LINK YOU COPIED HERE ] Words you want to appear on screen [ /url ]
Then save changes and all being well you'll have a clickable link in your signature.
If it doesn't work first time, make absolutely sure you've copied the above formula correctly WITHOUT any of the spaces!

Inserting Images into PostsYou can do this by clicking on "add attachment" at the top right the Create Post window. Image files should be no bigger than 1mb Or you can insert a live link from another website such as Photobucket, Glittergraphics etc. If the other website offers various codes to copy and paste, you should select the IMG code. Otherwise if you copy the file address you can paste it into your post like this: [ IMG ] paste image/file address here[/IMG ] take out the spaces between the square bracket in both cases - I had to put spaces in to make it visible on this post
