Can anyone advise on how i go about shortening web links :?:

Eg:-

www.mud-club.com

into....

"This"
or
"Here"

Thanks in advance people :D .

Like this ? mudclub

Do this [ URL=http://www.mud-club.com]mudclub[/URL] except take out the space between [ and URL at the start and it will work.

Hope this helps, i assume this is what you mean :lol:

[Budgie]

If you use this code for the URL, note the "=" after the first "url" and the close bracket is after the web address.
 

Code: [Select]

[url=www.mud-club.com]Mud Club[/url]

Then this coding gives you Mud Club.  :D

Ha HA Done it.........Thank you people.
Now i need to work out how you got your headlights to flash in your avatar.

[Budgie]

Now i need to work out how you got your headlights to flash in your avatar.

With an animated GIF program.
Go to http://jansfreeware.com/, click on the "Graphics" tab and look for "Movies 13". It's a free download and works quite well.  
You also need some kind of photo editor so you can add the lighting effect to the original photo but it looks like you've got one of those already.  :D

Nothing to do with avatars but I like to show off........... I've been playing with Photoshop and made some space scenes, what do you think?  :mrgreen:

[Edge]

Damn it Budgie, thats a fine lookin pic :D . How long did it take you to learn how to do that sort of quality art :?:
I'd ask you how you go about doin it.....but.....the science would baffle me .

All i can say is Brilliant 8)  8)

[Budgie]

If you've got Photoshop then I can post links to some tutorials that take you through it step by step.
It's actually quite easy once you know what to do, I've got it down to about 10-15 minute for a planet now.

[Budgie]

Here you go, the two main ones I used to start with are:

Team Photoshop and Greg Martin for the planets.

And Tutorial Kit for the star field.

There's a lot to it Dan and I'm still learning what the program can do.
For fading you can use the "feather" tool which feathers the edges of one photo to the background and if you do the same to the next one then you should be able to get what you're looking for.
