My attempt at Gimp

I don't dislike this one

Not quite the look I planned but good enough for today!

Trying to remember how to gimp!

I wanna make a profile background thing, but not sure what size it is or what I want! Of course me making one is very dependent on if my laptop will actually start up!

Size, well my profile background is 1280x272 pixels. I am afraid I can't help with the what you want bit!

EDIT: Okay, that's the size it is on the site apparently. The size I made it is 1178x250 pixels. That does scale to be the site size.
