I went to this site that gives you an image with a "pirate name" and the html source code used to create that image. I then changed that code so it was identical in every way, except the wording was different. I then used that in a notepad document so i could generate the image, except i don't know how to make that image into an image saved on my computer, so I can upload it to be used as a signature. Any help?

The easiest & non technical way:
Press the print-screen button on your keyboard
Start paint.
Edit -> Paste
Select and cut the part of the image you want.
File -> New
Paste & resize if needed.
Save (jpeg)
Use a free image hosting network to upload the image. (Photobucket etc.)
Change forum signature to
[img]URL%20OF%20IMAGE[/img]

I did not make myself clear the first time, I know how to upload the image to my photobucket account. Its text with a border basically, and I want the whole effect so it looks authentic. Here is the code, can anybody help?
<div style="position:relative; border-width:1px; border-color:332200; border-style: solid; background-color:c9b390; padding:0 10px; width:400px; text-align:center; font-family:serif; left:50%; margin:25px 0 25px -200px; color:332200;">
<div>
My pirate name is:
</div>
<div style="font-size:32px;">
Satan </div>
<img src="http://www.piratequiz.com/flag.gif" style="top:5px; position:relative; display:block; width:100px; background-color:332200;" />
<div style="left:110px; top:-60px; width:290px; position:relative; text-align: justify;">
I am evil incarnate.
</div>

Can you even use HTML in your signature? I'm not too sure but perhaps there's an option to turn it on.
Also, the forum recognises SOME code of HTML so long as it has [code] instead of <code> ....

Racetyme - Only a sub set of HTML is supported on this forum - I suggest if you want it to look like its is displayed on the Pirate site, you take a screen capture of the the particular part of the screen and load that up to a host - You can then use the [IMG] tag as explained by HF (formerly)
Please keep the size of the linked image to under 40kb if possible.

Ah, alright, well thanks. I should get that working sometime soon then, when I have time.
