Picture Text

On my user page, I'm trying to get the text "One of My Favorite Game Consoles" underneath the picture of the Nintendo DS, but it's not working... any suggestions??? --~Rebecca~ RJMT 19:40, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Your Sig

First of all, it's generally considered useful to have a link to your User and/or Talk page in your sig. Secondly, you aren't actually linking to your Contributions page properly. As I recommended here, try a link to Special:Contributions/RJMT. --Jay (Gobble) 04:04, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hey Rebecca. I fixed your contributions link on one of the STUFF pages as well as some of the code for your color. Generally, if you want to go by a name other than your official username, then just go by it and don't worry about explaining it in a footnote. As long as you do it consistently, people will make the connection. Also, a good practice is to place long signature code on a sig template, like this: {{User:RJMT/sig}}. Then all you do to sign your name is put the braces and the code in between in your preferences. — It's dot com 04:18, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this kinda stuff. I don't exactly know what ur sayin about all that sig templates and stuff... mind if u explain it 2 me??? -~Rebecca~ Username: RJMT 04:25, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

1. Click on the (currently red) link in Dot com's above message.
2. Create your sig however you want on this page.
3. At the top of the page is a "Preferences" link. Click this.
4. Where it says "Your nickname (for signatures)" type two curly braces, "User:RJMT/sig" (without quotes), and two closing braces.
5. Save it. Whenever you type three or four tildes in a row, it will automatically add your sig while taking less space in the editing box. Also, if you change your sig (on the template page, not your preferences), it will change EVERY instance of your sig. --Jay (Gobble) 04:30, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

That's awesome! Thanx! -~Rebecca~ RJMT 04:38, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Now if only I knew where that blank line was coming from... (there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your sig template...) --Jay (Gobble) 04:42, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Blank line?? --~Rebecca~ RJMT 04:45, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Eh, fixed now. Either I fixed it when I made a small edit to your sig (nothing that changes its appearance) or it was just an odd glitch. --Jay (Gobble) 04:48, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Well thanx for fixing whatever it was!--~Rebecca~ RJMT 04:49, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Hey There!!
