@Standing For You:

I use to start out with paint, and Paint doesn't have this nice thing called layers. But you can still do stuffs, like this wallpaper you have to be careful because once you paste something in Paint, it will stay when you move to the next step. Or if you have a pic that's already for a wallpaper, you can use Paint to jazz it up with some text like in this one. Or if you're very careful, you can photoshop some images together (yes I did that one mostly in paint before discovering layers in photoshop)--what you do is have separate files of the pics you are using, size them to the proportions you want, then cut them and paste them onto the blank document you're working with. I hope that helps you in using Paint to make wonderous creations! :D

@Angelic Song:

Don't worry, it's not a stupid question, someone else asked me something similar before, I might as well make a post for it to come shortly up on my big sister site ^^

In the meantime, for the rankings, every month they give out 'status promotions' like the otakuite++, otaku legend, and so on. They give these promotions to members that are active on the site, so you earn these promotions by submitting fanstuff, posting, and commenting, as well as logging in practically every day. I'm not sure on the exact amount of activity qualifies for a promotion, but as long as you keep doing stuff on the site, you'll climb that ladder on your way up to Otaku Legend! :D
