[Tutorial] How to credit
Found an icon you like?
Want to use it? Not without credit!
Don't know how to credit? It's simple. Here's how~!
First: save the picture onto your pc and upload it to your own server [Photobucket & Imageshack work very well]
you may ask why you have to upload it, mostly because when you don't you are pretty much stealing my bandwidth and if I ever delete that picture, say to make room for others, then it won't be accessible to you anymore. :[
Second: Sign into Livejournal and go to Profile> Manage Userpics. [See picture]
Third: Upload the picture either from your computer or from your own server. If you change icons a lot, you can upload it from your computer. But if you have a paid account anf you have 100 or so icons, it would be best to upload from a server, just to save space on your hard drive. Type in the title of the icon in the 'Keywords' box and the the username of the person who made it in the 'Comments box' [See picture]
Last: Once you click proceed, the final product should look like this:
Pretty simple, right?
So the creator some love and credit <3
