Instructions on how to make an image link to a website

See below for some example codes to use. Replace the words in capitals. For example, change IMAGE with a link to the image (to grab the image link follow the instructions on this page for your browser).

To add it to a forum signature use the following code.
Code:
[url=http://www.texmurphy.com][img]IMAGE[/img][/url]


To add it to your site or blog use the following code.
Code:
<a href="http://www.texmurphy.com"><img src="IMAGE"></a>


Update:
I've updated the flyers and business cards to say just texmurphy.com as requested now that the Kickstarter is live and texmurphy.com takes you to the page. Also changed "Bringing" to "Bring" to make it sound more like a present tense call to action.

Example:

It's great! I've just added one of your avatars on my kickstarter profile.
Maybe you should add the launch date of the Kickstarter Campaign (May 15) on some of them.

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. I've now added a separate version of each with the date on. :)

If there are any forums someone hasn't posted on in a long time it may be worth still changing your avatar and signature to promote the campaign as on some forums the member's past posts get updates with the new avatar/signature (and some might come across those past posts on Google etc.).

Well done, Sai! It's nice to see one of us knows how to use PhotoShop.

With exception of the text at the bottom, here's one I did in paint:

Love 'em! I'll start trying to figure out how to link these to my last few vids, or just make some with the links in them.

Thanks for the kind comments. When I get the time I'll try to add more. :)

I like how you incorporated the yellow and orange shades into the human Tex.

These are awesome! Is there anyway you could also make a couple of flyer templates? Something simple in black and white that can be printed out and posted around town or left at game stores. In my home town, Austin, there are even a few old-school pinball and cabinet arcades. I'd love to post some flyers around there and maybe print out a bunch of smaller, index-card sized flyers for people to pick up and take with them (just like promoting a band or a movie).

My city is unique in this respect, but I'm sure there are at least one or two places wherever you live that would be a good place to put a Tex flyer.

Sure, good idea, I'll certainly give it a go when I next get some time. I don't have much printing facilities here so I won't be able to test how it looks when printed however. So you may want to do a single test print first and then let me know if it needs adjustment.

I made some business cards to promote the Kickstarter on May 15! The card includes links to Big Finish Games and Kickstarter. Please print them out and hand one to everyone you know. Next time you’re at a networking event, please don’t give anyone your business card, instead, give them this one. :-)

Flyer designs as requested, the graphics could also be used for other stuff if you like. Hopefully I exported the files right, I reccomend doing a test print first. There are various sites and print shops who can do flyers and business cards if you haven't got the facilitity to do so at home.

Click on the preview images below to open the printable PDF file.

Also turned the flyer designs into business cards.
