You need three things: The image URL, the Gallery URL, and the name of the artist. You should have the name of the artist from the nominations thread, so here is how to get the other two, and what to do with them once you have them:
* To get the Image URL:Find the full sized image (you may need to go to a Photobucket or deviantART gallery to find it).
If you are using Firefox, right-click on the full sized image and select "Copy Image Location" from the menu, this will put the Image URL in your clipboard. There should be a similar way to do this in Opera or Chrome (Can I have someone who uses those browsers confirm this?). If you are unlucky enough to be using Internet Explorer, you will need to right click on the image and select "Properties" from the menu, the thing you want will be listed next to "Address (URL)" on the window that pops up.
* To get the gallery URL:Navigate to the first page in the artist's gallery in the "I made this!" forum. The URL is the one shown in the address bar. Simple.
* Putting it all together:Copy the following template and paste it into a new post in the
"Peoples' Choice Awards" thread:
- Code: Select all
[center]
[rightsize]IMAGE_URL_HERE[/rightsize]
[url=LINK_TO_ARTISTS_GALLERY_HERE]ARTISTS_NAME_HERE[/url]
[/center]
Remove the "IMAGE_URL_HERE" text and replace it with the Image URL.
Remove the "LINK_TO_ARTISTS_GALLERY_HERE" text and replace it with the gallery URL. Be careful not to remove anything extra, like the "=" or "]"
Finally replace ARTISTS_NAME_HERE with the name of the artist, preview your post, and if everything looks fine, post it!
If you have any problems, post here and we'll try to get it sorted out.
