1. How do I post a pic in my signature (siggy)?
Upload a picture to either www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com/ and copy the HTML code (PLEASE resize your picture first) and paste it into your signature (which you get to by clicking "update signature" on the left side of the board). The code should look like this:
<*img src="YOUR WEBSITE HERE" width="200px" /* />
Remove all *s and the picture will appear.
2. How big should my picture be?
Under 200 pixels is typical (see above for placement of size - the width number) to adjust it.
If you want the words next to the picture, just start typing what you want next to the code. But, if you want the words to go below the picture (like a caption) do this: <*img src="tinyurlhere" width=200*> <*br*> Wording Goes Here Remove all *s and the wording will appear below the picture.
3. How do I link my bio in my siggy?
Using the code below, take out the ** and place the link to your bio
<a target="_blank" href="YOUR BIO WEBSITE HERE">My Bio</a>**
4. What websites can I use for my wedding website:
The knot offers a free website, but there are also www.mywedding.com and www.weebly.com that offer free wedding planning websites. They are both free and very user friendly. Weebly has the option to upload pictures and a blog to your hearts desire and also have the option to have bigger pictures.
5. How do I post a ticker?
Click on "My Knot" and scroll down to "My wedding tickers". It's on the right side a little over half way down and click "Create a ticker". Then on the new page click "Create your wedding ticker". From there, click through to pick how you want it to look (the background, marker, and date). Then click "Generate ticker code".
Copy the html code and (I do this in a new page), view your profile (under My Knot), then click "edit my avatar & sig". Where it says "My Forums Signature" paste the code and then click "save my signature." After that you should be set.
6. Why doesn't it work?
Sometimes The Knot is just picky. It usually doesn't like it when you try to post more than two pictures or links per message, so think about only putting one or two per message then replying to your own post if you have more. If you fail the first time don't give up. It can be a tricky thing to get a handle on but you'll do it eventually!
7. How do I search through the boards for an answer to my question?
Be forwarned: some regulars will get tired of posting the same response to the same questions over and over again. Please search the boards to answer your questions. Most of the time your question has been answered already.
To search from a message board: Scroll down to the bottom where it says "Search Boards". Use a key phrase or two related to your question and select which board you would like to search. Your options are the current board, all boards, and find knottie/nestie bio. Or you can chose any specific board to search.
