Yep.
There are some better-written tutorials floating out there, try and find them.

1. Use an image editing program like Paint.NET or GIMP (MS Paint won't work) to delete the white space around the sign.
2. Resize the canvas to a power of 2 (64, 128, 256, 512 - higher is better)
3. Name this file anything without spaces and put it in a folder called "prints"
4. Copy this folder and rename it "icons" and resize the print to 64x64.
5. Place these in another folder - you should call it Print_1x1_VoltageSign, but you don't have to
6. Inside this, add a "description.txt" and a "server.cs"
7. Keep the server.cs empty and make sure it isn't actually "server.cs.txt"
8. Inside description.txt, do this:
--- Code: ---Title: High Voltage Sign
Author: The Brighter Dark
A high-voltage sign.
--- End code ---
Feel free to customize this to your liking.
9. Zip this all up and name it Print_1x1_VoltageSign.
10. Congratulations, you made a print!
It sounds a lot more complicated than it is.

It's not a power of two, it's eight doubled repeatedly.

512 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 29.
It's also 83, as in 8 * 8 * 8.
So we're both right :P

When I said eight doubled repeatedly, I meant 8*2=16, 16*2=32, 32*2=64, etc. What you typed is not X number to a power of two, it's two to a power of 9.
Edit: This is my 1337 post, why is this my 1337 post?! ;-;

A power of two is anything that can be written as 2x, x2 would just be a quadratic function. I just skipped the first few numbers, that's all.
