I figured if people needed help in getting a banner onto their OS Blogs, they might also need help getting a Avatar in place as well. Hopefully this tutorial has cleared the Voo - Doo - how to up a bit. -Ric

Ric:

These are particularly useful because so many of us are afraid to ask for help and admit our limited tech skills. Good idea.

Thank you O'Kath :)

Monte.. Yeah, I was surprised to learn, recently, that allot of my fellow OSer's weren't really very savvy when it came to putting graphics on their blogs, be it a banner, avatar or post a picture.

I have been using a computer for so many years now I have taken it for granted that everybody knows what I know about the voo-doo involved.

I was wrong. So I figured the best way to explain it, (once) was to make tutorials.

Great stuff, Ric.

I'd like to know how you do the custom links on the left. Or how Lonnie is able to put a different background color on his posts.

If you look over to your left, at the top of my Links.. You will see a listing for Tutorials. The, "Link Graphics" will explain how to make your links graphical.

Just added the Tutorial choices today.
