Banner Tutorial

*This post will also be featured on the "Tutorials" page!*

Hallo there! Welcome to my blog! Since I've been making a bunch of banners lately, why not create my version of how to make a banner? Here it is! It's somewhat simple. I take that back. Kind of hard. But with practice, you can nail it!

First, you will want to open Pixlr Editor, -> Create New Image-> Presets-> Banner. Then, you will want to make the height 100, so then when you edit your banner later, it will show up. The next part is for if you want a background, but you can disregard it: Click on layer-> Open image in layer-> (Do whatever you need to do to upload the picture)-> File-> Save.

Save the image to your computer!

Next, you're going to want to open Fotor Editor. This is the part where I cannot guide you, because it is your banner, not mine! However, when you are done making your banner, you are going to want to save it to your computer for the next step.

*Waits for reader to finish decorating*

Oh, you're finished? Alright! Let's continue!

Now you are going to want to upload the image to ctrlq. If you want to resize it so it will fit in your banner or signature, go right ahead!

When you resize it, you have two options. If you would like to just upload it to your signature with no link, I will be soon posting a tutorial on how to upload a picture to a post or your signature. However, if you want to make it a link, keep reading! You will want to copy the first link to your clipboard (Ctrl+c)

You will now want to go to this website. Click Link Type-> Image Link-> Put in the website URL you would like the banner to go to-> Choose your option for "Open In"-> Paste the link (Ctrl+p)  for your image into "Image URL"-> Copy the HTML code.

Now, you can't put HTML code into a BBCode website. Luckily, I found a very nice HTML to BBCode converter, which is here. Paste the link into that, then enter. Copy the BBCode into your post or signature, and you're done!

Thank you for reading this! I hope this helps!


 I made a video tutorial, please note I did this very late for me. Don't mind that at all.
