OK...here is how you post them to your page or someone else's page.

This is one of the images I just made for you. I have copied it to your page by going to the url where the image is posted (you will find the image in my latest uploads. When you have found the image you want, you look a little below the image and you will see 2 boxes with codes in them.
The first box contains the html code which you would use for myspace. You don't want to use that one for this site. The second box gives you the code to put it on glitter-graphics. Copy that code and paste it on your page or that of someone else. To put it on your page, click on edit at the top of your page and paste the code there but be sure it is before you see the list of your friends on this site. To paste it on someone else's page, just go to their page and paste the image there where there is a place to put the post at the bottom of their home page. Easy hun!!

Here is what I put your name on....

Those uploads were just made by me in Phantamorph.

This image was glittered using one of the sites I sent you earlier. I was being lazy and didn't feel like messing with Photoshop and Adobe Flash to make it.

It is easy easy easy to add text to the finished graphic. I usually do that on lunapic or onlineimageeditor because it is faster.

The fantamorph images are smaller because they are made by putting lots and lots of dots on the original. Some dots keep part of the image from appearing to move and other dots make part of it move or morph. It creates a huge file and you have to make it smaller to upload it to this site.

Most of the people on this site will help you figure it out if you ask. There are a few who won't answer your questions but don't worry about them. The mods are extremely helpful. If you find an image you want to put on your page here, just copy that code in the 2nd box and paste it to your page above your friends list after you click edit near the top of your page.

If you look around at my graphics (my uploads) you will see which images were made from phantamorph and which were made from either PSP, Flash or on one of the websites I gave you. Practice, practice and practice. Nobody got perfect at this overnight so be patient. Sometimes I spend almost one whole day making one image, decide I hate it and scrap the whole thing.

I love fantamorph not because it is so much easier than anything else but because I was an art and English major in college and Salvador Dali and other surrealistic artists were my favorites and I can get that surrealistic feeling with fantamorph.

Give it a try and I'll be glad to help if you have more questions. Amymont is one of the mods and she or any of the other mods will also help you.

Just read your message again. If you just want to post a graphic on someone's page (including yours), find the graphic you ant and the copy the code where it says it is the code to use on glitter-graphics and paste it to your own page at the top where you would put in your profile. To put it on someone else's page, paste it below where it shows you their friends.

Most of the artists on this site are using paint shop pro. I have it but seldom use it because it makes my computer freese up. However, PSP is fairly inexpensive and you can get a 30 day free trial and there are many free tutorials on line. I'm using Photoshop and Adobe Flash but those are expensive. The ones where it looks like the clouds are being slightly blown around and the images look more like a short movie are done on Fantamorph. My favorite program but only certain images work with that particular program.

Lots of artists are using a combination of Paint Shop Pro and there are two online sites where you can create lots of the effects and they are free.

Try and play with the programs on these sites and it will give you a good start. Sometimes you can do the entire image on these sites. They are free and many images can be completely done on these sites. Have fun and play with some images for a while. :-)

I love Fantamorph and you can also get a 30 day free trial on that but it gives a sort of surrealistic image. You can't use it to make the cute little glittered graphics. Adobe Flash will do almost anything you want it to do but that one is expensive. If you like the free programs above, find Paint Shop Pro and give it a 30 day free trial and see if you like that. It will glitter, make images move and do all sorts of those things and is really inexpensive.

The 2 images below were made with fantamorph. As you can see, that program tends to make rather bizarre images but it don't do glitter. Fantamorph tends to make more surrealistic-looking images.

But the two free online sites will get you started and you should be afford to afford paint shop pro if you like doing graphics.
