Personal Charts

[Unhinged]

To all of those who make their own personal chart; can someone give me some advice on how to upload/create nice ones? I have seen some real nice looking charts (with pictures and all) on here and I'm not sure how people get them on here? I personally make my chart using MS Word and I like how it looks but I have no clue how to get it on this site?

Any suggestions?

Some of them make it in Microsoft Excel and then take a screenshot of it, then edit it and then upload it to an image hosting site like imgur.com/ or photobucket.com

Let's say I have my chart all typed up in Excel (or you can do it in Word and copy and paste it into Excel), it will look like this without any formatting or colors.



Then I can change it up any way I like with colors, fonts, backgrounds, outlines, etc. Experiment with everything until you find one that works.

I've also seen some pretty good work using the code available for the posts, a lot of them use tables in some form.

For example, here's my (kind of bad) attempt at using a table based format:

Last Week	This Week	Artwork	Song	Peak	Weeks On
#3	#1		Tove Lo "Thousand Miles" Queen of the Clouds (2014) 3-3-1	#1	3

There's also a bit of work using the text, for example, this is how my chart normally looks:

#1 UP| Tove Lo - Thousand Miles | #3 | #1 (1) | 3

There's much better work to be found elsewhere, so take a look around the personal charts section and see how people create their charts and choose what you'd want yours to look like!

Gonna bump the second thread I made () cause I need some help. So for the past few years I've been using imgur to post my personal chart. I make my chart in Excel, screen copy it and paste it into paint, then I take a copy of that (once its cropped) and I would paste it into imgur and voila, I'd get my bbc link. But it appears that imgur no longer has the option of pasting so I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions? Is there another image hosting site like imgur that would allow me to do this?

You can save what you do on paint as an img and upload it, that's how I usually do that.

Thank you, I did try that but it didn’t work for me. I will try it again!

Can you not export the chart from Excel into a PDF or a JPG? I don't use Office apps or a Windows computer, so I'm genuinely curious.

I export from Apple Numbers (Apple's Excel) to PDF and then export from PDF to JPG. Then I just upload that hi-res JPG to imageshack.

You can in fact export from Excel to PDF and it would have worked (I tried it) but I got imgur to work the way it was for me previously. Appreciate the advice!

Can you copy/paste from Excel onto here? Or do you want it to look a certain way? When I post my chart on here (which I never do bceause I'm super lazy), I just copy/paste the text.

I guess I probably could but I think I’d lose all the formatting I’ve done to make it look like an 80’s Billboard chart. Never tried to do that so I’m not sure.
