The WSO title bar has space for a funny picture, and anyone can upload a photo to go in the rotation.
16. Now you're ready to upload your creation. Visit http://wso.williams.edu/front/upload and fill out the forms, and cross your fingers.
==Using GIMP==
6. Select the paintbrush tool and make it as big as possible. Eliminate large regions of the background by painting it white (color should still be white from the paint bucket above), and then make the brush smaller to get the last bits out of small areas in your photo.
6a. Now is a good time to change the color of the picture. Go to Tools -> Color Tools and use Curves or Brightness/Contrast to make your picture light and bright. (Levels won't work as well because of the large amount of white space.) Now is probably also a good time to save your picture. Save it in GIMP file format so as not to compress it (.xlf xcf file extension, I think).
7. Double-click on the upper square again and put 363237 where it says ffffff (ffffff is white; 363237 is Evan's special color for the background of WSO).
