In that case it goes nowhere, you'll need to open an image editing program and paste the image (control+v).

Ever heard of Stringbablex?

No, serious, this will be one of the best things which has ever been done on the modding section. Lots of people are always asking questions and posting ideas, but are not working on it themselves, because it would be too hard. With such a program we can prove that the basics aren't hard at all, so we will get more good mods, after some time (...)

It's a rather funny program although I'd like to give you some suggestions on how you could improve it in the future if you're planning to do so.

First of all the spelling errors, the StringtbableX being the most obvious one. There are some more so I'd suggest that you let someone proof-read everything so you can fix those errors.

Secondly, the part that should link to your favourite sites gives an error and shuts down the program.

It'd be nice if you could make the Ronin maker that you can only insert digits into certain parts like population, now I can add anything. Also it'd be nice if you could make it so that when you add a change to the code, the code would automatically update.

Also the Introduction page looks rather messy because all the text is centered, aligning it to the left would look much better.

Then there is the lay-out, it would certainly help if you'd bold or italic important parts so when you're browsing through the files you can easily see what happens where. The Homecity tutorial is a good example of this.

Also I'd use a .css file to save the style part of the HTML, it'll reduce the size of all the files a little and makes it easier for you to change the overall lay-out of all the files if you want to. Now you'll have to go through all files with the .css file you'll need to edit one.
