How would I resize the cover so that it fits onto Wattpad? I followed all the steps, and I made a cover I like, but it won't upload because it's 3200x5120m pixels.... I'm not sure if I just missed a step or if I'm just terrible with computers or what, hahaha

*edit* Oh my gosh I feel dumb hahaha, I just ended up doing it in paint which worked perfectly fine :P Is there a way to do it right in Picasa, incidentally?

@CarolinaV Thanks you really helped:D But, one thing how do you actually apply your cover to your wattpad book. Sorry if I missed that.

@TeenCrime To post your covers as images, here are the steps:

1. Make sure the book covers are uploaded in some images sharing website, such as photobucket, flickr or even your own blog.

2. Click on the images so that it opens in its own window.

3. Copy the HTML code to the image in the address bar (Where it says Email and IM, Direct link, HTML code and IMG code.)

4. Then insert the following into your post in this thread.

The book cover should then appear like this:

@Gleek_13 A thread is this very thing you commented on. Threads are like this one but there are other ones like book cover threads, ones for contests and such. =]

I've been using the Inkscape program to put my covers together and wrote up a short tutorial thread about how it works:
