does anyone here also make tags or icons for like myspace and what not?:thinking if so what sites do you use to make them, and where do you find great pictures as backgrounds? i've made like a ton..theyre pretty good for a newbie lol...and i also have my own site for it... http://www.myspace.com/militarylovedisplays. i find it fun and rewarding to be able to use my imagination. :P

I've made a whole bunch for some of the girls on The Womanhood, and I love doing them for the same reasons you do :D It's fun to see what you can come up with.

what are the best sites that you would recommend to do them on? where it gives you alot of cool stuff to use for you images and stuff?

Oh I download images from Google and Getty Images, and I use a program called Photoshop to edit, crop, resize and enhance them. :yes

ok cool ill look into those. so what do you mainly make yours for? like military or just images that you think would be cute?

I have made like 1 military tag and 1 or 2 icons, but I've made a metric ton of the pregnancy/parenting icons, there are probably a good 200 in the avatars on the Womanhood that I made. I was really into that :P

Here's a link to the signatures I've done for other people recently if you wanna take a look and see.
