Hello, Valk-buddies.  I'm still a newbie on the site and I'm wondering if someone could explain  --  IN  SIMPLE   LANGUAGE    --  how I can put one of those maps near my avatar to show which states I've conquered.   Thanks for your help.  

p.s.  I ain't no komputer genus,   so pls K I S.  (keep it simple).   Thx.

Matt:   Thank you very much for your help.  I got it done, but I'm thinking the map is tooooo  small.  I can't figure out how to enlarge it.    U gotta clue?   I believe I configured the map as "large" before I saved the jpeg.    Thx 4 ur help.

Using the map in your aviator, it will be small.

If you want it big, it will have to go in your signature,

Like my temperature boxes,

Go to photobucket.com and set up an account to upload your pic of the map. Under it the 4th or bottom link needs to be right clicked and copied and then right click and paste it in you signature area in your profile.

What I do, is use www.photobucket.com and upload my pictures, then once they are on photo bucket, you can cut and paste the url from below the picture into your signature line in the Profile settings here.

Well, I finally did it.   Sometimes I wish I had a pre-teen living here so they could help me with all of this computer stuff !      Anyhooo,  the key for me and the final piece of the puzzle that made it possible for me to get the map into my signature was the "photobucket.com" clue. 

Now, here's the good news.  I might be a little too old for this computer bullsh)t, but I ain't too old to ride.  Me and the dragon will be on the road for a good long time to come  .  Been on two wheel since 1966 and I ain't gonna stop anytime soon. 

THANK  YOU, everyone who contributed to this task.     thx  !!

  Now go get that map colored in some more. You ain't showin much for riding since 1966.

Easy, big fella !   Many of those years I was on bikes a lot less capable than the Fat Lady.   As a matter of fact, some of them weren't even street legal.    Funny you should make your comment.  Just after I was able to link the map to the forum I said to my girlfriend, "We gotta conquer a few more states.  I look like a wimp."   Thanks for the encouragement.   I'll be thinkin' of you each time we cross a state line.

No offense intended. I just started seriously riding longer distances myself the past 2 years and started riding in 1980. Enjoy the road.
