Needed? host that is supported by php(Ripway recommended)
Step one: Create your online files:
>In your ripway acct,create a subfolder named PICTURES..leave it that way,after creating a subfolder go back to your main files.
>In your main files create a unique file e.g; status.php,cute.php,sandwich.php,cutelord.php....blah blah..anythin that is unique

somethin hard to guess!
Content of your PHP FILE:
[quote]<?php
$status = $_POST['status'];
$img=ImageCreate(120,20);
$bgcolor=ImageColorAllocate($img,0,0,0);
$txt = ImageColorAllocate ($img, 255, 255, 255);
ImageString ($img, 3,2,4, 'Status: '.$status,$txt);
ImagePNG($img,"pictures/pic.png");
ImageDestroy($img);
?>[/quote]
Step Two: Create you local file:
>Save this file as .html in your pc,Everytime your gona change your status simply open your html..
[quote]<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<iframe name=target src='' style=display:none></iframe>
<img src='http://h1.ripway.com/[color=red]username[/color]/pictures/pic.png'>
<form name=send target=target action="http://h1.ripway.com/[b]username[/b]/status.php" method="post" >
<select name="status">
