How to get your Century Club Card!

There are two places to get a card. The first one is here.......

http://swords.cc/ohcc/oh_card.html

If you don't want it personalized, or want to do that part yourself, just click on the style of card that you'd like and it'll take you to that cards page. Then just go to the one that is the size you want and right click on it. Save it to your computer.
If you're going to personalize it yourself then I'll assume you know what to do from there. If you want it as is, just upload it to any photo hosting site like http://photobucket.com/ .
Once your photo is uploaded, click on the icon of it to take you to the full-sized one.
Right click on it and a menu will show up, click on "copy".
Go to "my oh"
In the menu under your avatar, click on "settings"
In the top menu, click on "message board"
There will be an open box that says "signature" beside it. Just right click anywhere in that box. A menu will show up, click on "paste".
At the very bottom of the page, click on "Save"

If you want the card personalized, either contact Jazelle (that's who made these cards) in a pm and ask her or pm me and I can do it for you.
When you get the finished card, just follow the same instructions as above.


The second site is here..........

http://stephanie-myrnyjourney.blogspot.com/2009/11/century-c lub-cards.html

Just find the card that you would like and pm me with the following information....
- what you want the top of the card to say
- what colour card you would like
- which animation you would like (or a link to a pic if you would prefer)
- the name that you would like on it

I will send both a larger and smaller sized card back to you through that same pm. Then follow the same instructions as above :)
