How to Make a Forum Tag

I made this thread to help those who want to display their character on the forum in a manner they see fit. That way people will know how you roll in Fallen London (like my character tags below). They aren't arbitrary, but they add to your identity on these forums I think.
Major Rule: do not bracket your name or title in color, it is a designation for forum moderators and not for casuals posters.
Step 1: URL Link
For this you just need to know that you need to slot a url into brackets (like these [ ] ) so it should look somehting like this (without the dashes)
[-url-] [-url-]
Next, add a an equal sign (=) right after the first one and a slash sign (/) before the second one. (again, without the dashes)
[-url=-] [-/url-]
Now, just put your name/title inbetween the url brackets and add a link to your profile after the equation sign in the first bracket.
[-url=http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Owen~Wulf-]The Taciturn Huntsman[-/url-]
Remove the unneccessary dashes and you should get this: The Taciturn Huntsman
Step 2: Add an Image (or two)
Now, the last part is for personal taste. To add an image, slot the word 'img' into the brackets we used before just like we did with url. For the sake of convenience, it is best to use the small images featured either in your profile or in your Fallen London inventory. You should use the mantlepiece or the scrapbook to bring up all the images you have access two and which are all a perfect size. Now, copy the image location when you right click on the picture. The linked images are below:
http://images.fallenlondon.com/icons/eatersmall.png
http://images.fallenlondon.com/icons/houndsmall.png
now, if we add them into the img slots we get these
Now we simply add these images to the outside of the url bracket in the order we desire - and this is the result
The Taciturn Huntsman
Step 3: Finish and throw into the signature box in your profile. Now you can tweak your own personal forum link and wear it with pride.
