Personal images
Personal images on your talk or user page are fine so long as they are hosted on a third party site such as Imageshack, yes. See RS:NOT for more information. Basically, we don't want to become a image hosting site. You will notice that my signature is a picture from Photobucket. 19:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

re:Transparency
Unfortunately, MS paint does not allow one to apply transparency. I use Macromedia fireworks, which allows me to easily apply transparency. Basically, you just need to find a program that uses a canvas under the image your working with. You then need to turn this canvas transparent, (its usually an option somewhere in the program. and then erase around the picture you want to keep. Sorry if this explanation is a little vague, Ive just always known how to do transparency, so its hard for me to explain >.<


 * Edit: You may want to ask Karlis (aka master of transparency =P ) for a better explanation

 * Greetings! Sorry, I don't log on too much on the weekends. I personally use Paint.NET to add transparency as it does transparency, as well as a few other things like multi-layering and whatnot. Anyways, it's pretty simple, and is an easy transition to those who grew up with MSPaint. The two tools you will use are the Magic Wand http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/suntigerrevival/Magicwand.png (Hotkey S, though you need to press it 4 times) and the Eraser http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/suntigerrevival/Eraser.png (hotkey E). Depending on how detailed the image is, you may need to use the eraser to completely outline the object in the image (lets say it's a partyhat). You can use the zoom, shrink down the eraser to size 1, and literally trace the entire image. Or you may opt to use the magic wand. For this, you will see a bar on the top center labeled: Tolerance. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f62/suntigerrevival/Tolerance.png I generally try to always keep this at or below 20%. This will basically find and filter all of the pixels around it within a 20% color tolerance of the one you selected. To be honest, I would find a simple picture (not RSHD) to practice on before working on the HD images. I know this probably sounds a bit confusing, but it's really easy to get the hang of things. Most of the time you'll find yourself using the eraser, and outlining things, but only to make sure I don't accidentally mess anything up =O.

Archiving
Certainly. To archive your talk page, create this page: (I'll even provide the link for you to create!) User talk:Carrolljames/Archive 1. Then simply copy everything off this page, erase it, and be sure to put Archiving in your edit comment. Then paste it all in the archive and save. You can then post a link on your talk page by copying this code and pasting it on the top of your current talk page (this one.)
