Tutorial as to how to upload a picture to use as a Friends Only Banner.
Tutorial behind the cut below (it's got helpful pictures).
Following the instructions below will help you put the banners that I make (or others make) into your Friends Only post.
Step One:
Go to
www.photobucket.com Step Two:
Create a Photobucket account (this may seem like a lot to do... creating an account and such, but this way you can upload any type of picture and put it in any entry. This is what allows you to post pictures... not just banners. ^_^)
Step Three:
Once you have created your account, upload the picture that you have saved to your computer and would like to use as the banner.
Step Four:
You will now have a picture uploaded that will look somewhat like the following
Step Five:
Take what is in the box next to Tag and copy it
Step Six:
You can now update the Friends Only post by placing the copied tag into the entry box (DO NOT USE RICH TEXT IF YOU ARE USING THE TAG. YOU CAN USE RICH TEXT IF YOU COPY THE URL AND GO TO ADD PICTURE. BUT IN A NORMAL ENTRY BOX, YOU MUST USE ONLY THE TAG... )
Step Seven:
Now you can add the finishing touches such as "Friends Only, Comment to Be Added" and such and whatever you want it to say. And this is also where you add the CREDIT for whomever made the banner.
Ending Step:
You now have your Friends Only post with your new Friends Only banner.
Hopefully this Tutorial helps a little bit to those of you who would like a Friends Only journal and a banner but who didn't know initially how to place the picture within the entry.
