Tutorial: How to credit

How to credit




How to credit in the User Picture comment area

1. User Pictures: Obviously first you will need to go to your User Pictures area. 


To set already uploaded icons read on (if to upload new icons and set then skip to 3)     


2. Comment Area: in the comment field under the keywords you can basically write whatever you want.  (It can be: By name, //name, credit: name.)  How ever you want to do it.  Then of course you can either just put the username down or you can actually link to it. Here I will show you both methods.
 


Notice how the first icon "Instant Star" is just the word and the other one has the LJ User Tag.  You can find out more about the user tag here.     


3. Upload New Icon: This next step is if you are going to upload a new icon now.  You would do it just the same way as above but this time you would put it in the comment area listed in the upload icon area. 


4What it Looks Like: This is hour your icons will turn out when you go to your user pictures page.  You can now clearly see the difference between the "Instant Star" icon and the "Busted" icon.

I really like this! I'm going to link this in the rules of my icon journal because there are some people who don't know how to credit. :(
