No problem, Stoz. It is actually me (not a bot - that might welcome vandals as well, and I like to have a personal touch). I like to give new users a welcome, because even if they know the syntax (from the double brackets to complicated parser functions and template callers), they might not know about things like shortcuts, magic words and policies and guidelines. The way to make an image clickable is to use an imagemap - but have the clickable region of the map covering the whole image. See an example on the Main Page - this is the code for the sister projects section.
<imagemap>Image:Commons-logo-31px.png|31x41px rect 0 0 50 50 [[commons:|Commons]] desc none</imagemap>
gives:
Commons
And using the first person on your userpage is fine - although you don't own the data on the page, the description is about you and written by you. Take a look at mine if you want inspiration (or userboxes :P). See you around, and ask if you need any more help. —Vanderdeckenξφ 13:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
