First you have to create a banner.
The most used graphics program is photoshop.
If you don't know how to do it yourself, you can always ask somebody else to do it.
Lot's of webmaster forums have a place where you can ask such stuff.
You can also do it here if you want
My graphics skills are probably to limited to help you though.

If you have banner you have to upload it somewhere.
Then you have to go to My community -> Custom Images -> Banner Image
And enter the url of the banner there.

There I made one for you.

lol I didn't know that many people didn't like children, oh well, they were children at one point as well.

I attached it to this post feel free to use it if you liked it. 

[Harro]

Simple but nice.
I like it!

[Mrs M]

The Child Free (CF) do not dislike children (well maybe some  ) we just get annoyed with people (mainly parents) telling us we we should have them But that's another board entirely.

However I would just like to say thank you very much I did appreciate that, even though I would love to know how you did it.

Once again many thanks

Photoshop

But you can also make it in the GIMP (which is free). I learned via Photoshop, so I stuck with that.

(Use LEFT click on both).

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.2.13-i586-setup-1.zip

Download and install both

However, you also have to learn to choose the fonts carefully, and blend the colors, as well as find out which effects are suitable for what your making.

[Mrs M]

PS - Sorry I copied to banner image but for some reason has not worked, I'm I just being slightly thick here??

[Mrs M]

I was being thick

I did flamingtext and it's great.

Very pleased with myself, Dude your a star thanks mate

 

[Dude200]

I see you made your own effects

No problem, glad I could help. However, you should use colors that blend more with the current design, but it's indeed a good start.
