I also use Moaku's freebie vendor, obtained in the area outside of The Forest store. I added a 1-prim sign above it that I made in Photoshop, and I re-textured it, but other than that it's as he made it, and does a fine job. If you don't know how to make a Prim, you need to check out a basic Building Tutorial. Look here in the WIKI entries in the support section of this website.

From: Elle Giles Oh one more thing, if anyone has an extra rectangular prim, I'd love one, since i really don't know where to get one. And if you want me to pay, then we can set a price!  There is no price for a prim. The building tools to make them are part of the standard SL interface, and if someone tries to sell you 'just a prim', they are ripping you off.

I dont know how to though. I don't understand how to make "a prim." I already made the sign texture, (the link at the bottom of the post from a screenshot I took) so how do I make it into a prim? I'm very new at shop owning so I appreciate the help. Here's my shop sign: http://usera.imagecave.com/Afarin/Sign.PNG

You need to upload the texture (which will need to be converted to JPG or TGA) to SL, by using the file menu.. The right click the ground, chose create and then apply the texture using the texture menu.. You'll probably need to go to a building class.. I have a short tutorial here.

Check the "stretch texture" box at the top right, and go to the texture menu and put the repeats back to 1.0000
You should try to find a build class to attend..
