<!--Try not to set pics past 7 days from now. Check on the Suggestions, add something good. (Guide for image setting below this paragraph)
[[File:_____|center|400px]] <--- here's the code to use.
After the image markup add a quote linked to an article (if there is a relevant one) with this code: <br /><big>'''{{center|[[article goes here|Quote goes here]]}}'''</big>
Make sure to preview to check if the link works.
STEPS FOR DUMBASSES:
Step 1. Create the image day such as April 20th, 1999.
Step 2. Put in the code from up above, PREVIEW, and save.
Step 3. Go to this page, find the day in the code
Step 4. Replace Hello POTN.jpg with YOURIMAGEHERE.JPG
Step 5. Preview. Save.
Note: generally anything over 400px is bad as it stretches the main page out a little too much. But it's alright to adjust the px for the image, if it's fucked up someone else will probably fix it for you anyways. '''And remember''': NO Gifs, Porn, Gore, etc..-->
