How to..... on CIH

I thought that when you put something in your signature area, that it would work retroactively---like when you change your avatar.  I see, though, that Jimbo's previous posts don't have the beer guy or anything in the sig area.

Just a little note, on MOST sites for those of you with bad eyesight or for those who don't like reading small text, if you have a scrolling mouse, hold down Control and roll your mouse wheel and watch what happens.

If you "block" this smiley, it goes psychotic:

I have ie 7.0.5blablabla and I don't have that icon (maybe I hid it, it's happened before).

I don't have a huge monitor, and all the junk I have on it (such as my toolbars, search bars, Smiley Central, and all that other stuff on top) makes the space for the actual website and email and other programs even smaller.

For our first example we will use one of Nathan's CIH videos. Go to the address bar and copy the whole address on to the clipboard.  Then paste this link into your post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0J9A-H4ygQ As you can see it creates a nice, but boring hyperlink.  What we want to focus on in this hyper link is only the part after where it says "watch?v=" the last part. Make a copy of that part and paste it again. T0J9A-H4ygQ Now to make it appear in your post as a cool YouTube video link simply type: [tube   ]  paste the link again T0J9A-H4ygQ then [/tube     ]  Note: You will have to leave the extra spaces out as well as of course my instructional text.

Sometimes when you copy a link to a YouTube Video, you get some extra characters:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7d1S6rBTKg&feature=user
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdvL3FBwHEc&feature=related

You only need the part of the link IN BETWEEN watch?v= and &feature=xxxx.
So, in the examples I posted above, you only need R7d1S6rBTKg and bdvL3FBwHEc.
These are the YouTube Codes for the videos.
Put that code inside TUBE tags, and you're golden.

I have a jar of gold flakes.  Unfortunately, it's one of those tiny little jars I would've put my white stash into years ago.  And, sitting at the bottom in water, it's only about 1/32 of an inch high.  The sum total of all my goldmining expeditions.

Probably worth more as a piece of jewelry, though.  Not only is it worth the weight of the gold, it also has value as a collectible.

Thanks for the thread...I'll use it for future reference.  It's been enough of a headache trying to learn how to put my new Milhouse avatar onto the site.  (BTW--it's good knowing I'm not the only Simpsons fan in this forum, thanks to VioletLightning's Mr. Sparkle logo and Mayor Quimby quotation.)
