Seeking: Your Vision of "Winky"
How do you see our lovable mascot?
Tuesday, October 9, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Every day. Day-in and day-out I see the same smiling lizard staring at me, giving me that thumbs up and leaning casually against something. He's at the top of the page, he's in my news posts, he's everwhere! He's driving me mad!
Here's what I want. I need some more variations of Winky to use in news posts and articles here on WinCustomize. You've seen a few variations here and there such as Winky Wearing Headphones, Winky Holding Court, or Winky Wins a Medal. And while those are very nice, I want a little bit more variety to choose from.
So I turn to you, the community, for some new takes on our old friend. Here are some ideas to start everyone off. You're in no way limited to these, this is just to get your creative juices flowing
| Halloween Winky | Thanksgiving Winky | Christmas Winky |
| Winky the Reporter | Techno Winky | Pirate Winky |
| Nerdy Winky | Teacher Winky | Angry Winky |

Assuming you have the image of choice in a format you're happy with. You then need to select an image hosting service to upload the image to.
Classic examples available free include ImageShack & Photobucket:-
Click me for ImageShack
Click me for Photobucket
Uploading the image is normally a simple process. After which you will be provided with several different ways of linking to your uploaded image.
The thing about Wincustomize is to select the simple URL/address. Do not go for one including the image tags as it will fail. When you use the 'Insert Image' box available in the reply box menu - it will apply the necessary tags and see the image is rendered.

Windows Live Spaces won't work? That's what I've been trying to use.
