I saw in the main forum that some people don't know the BBCode for images and links and decided I'd try to help out a bit...
This is a BBCode guide for displaying pictures in your posts, and/or linking pictures to other online locations.
It may not be helpful for how to improve your art style, but it is a tutorial. And I hope it helps.
If it doesn't, please ask questions so I (or anyone else that knows this stuff) can try to answer it in a way that is easier to understand.

Image code looks like this::
[img]X[/img]
If you want to display an image in your post, the image url (i.e. the link to your picture) (( http://whateveryourimagelinkis.com/org/gov/net/etc. <-- fake link, btw.)) goes between the bracketed coding (where that 'X' is).
Like this::
[IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/lost_melfanian/PVb.jpg[/IMG]
And it will show up like this::
If you want to link the image to a page elsewhere on the internet, like maybe a quest thread or some such, add url coding around the image coding.
url code looks like this::
[url=]x[/url]
The page you want to link to goes after the '=' inside the first bracketing.
Whatever is between the bracketed coding (in this case, the 'x') is what you click to go to the linked page.
So it looks like this::
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com] X [/url]
And pressing that 'x' would send one to Gaia's home page.
To link a picture, insert the image code inside the url code. Like this::
[url=www.gaiaonline.com][img]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/lost_melfanian/PVb.jpg[/img][/url]
This will look like this::
To link words, put the words you'd like linked between the url code instead::
[url=www.gaiaonline.com]Gaia rocks~![/url]
This will look like this::
Gaia rocks~!
I hope this has helped someone.

The next post will show examples for 'imgleft' and 'imgright' codes.
