Introduction
Many people make Graphics such as kits and logos but some don't know how to put them in your game. How do you get the Chelsea logo to go with Chelsea? Well, the answer is simple, you need a Config File which tells Football Manager 2010 what graphics goes with what team/player/etc. I remember thinking the same thing a couple of months ago, when I was a noob with Photoshop and Graphics. I will also upload some Config files at the end to help you guys. The file extension of a Config file is '.xml'.
Useful Programs to make Configs
There are many programs out there to help you make Config files, such as FM Graphics Guru and FM Skin XML which helps you change certain parts of a Skin.
Other Config Editors
FM Graphics Configurator
FM XML (Couldn't find a link for)
FM Graphics Guru 1.1
FM Graphics Guru is a newly released program to help edit or make new Config files. It is a very easy-to-use program and is self explanatory, really. However, here are some help screenshots with instructions.

Editing Config (XML) Files without any FM Graphics Tool
If for some reason you can't download one of the FM Graphics Tools or you'd rather do it differently, this is how.
Every Config file consists of a code which tells Football Manager which image goes with who/what team.
If you look at it closely, you will see it will include 'The Filename' and the 'Team Unique ID Number'. Let's open the LA Galaxy Config file, which I used in the example. So, when we open it, with Notepad or Microsoft XML Editor, it looks like this:
The 'LA Galaxy Away' is the filename and tells FM to record the kit from the image named 'LA Galaxy Away'. The '1907' is the Unique ID Number of LA Galaxy, the team I made the kit for. All you need to edit if you are going to add a Config for you kits is the Filename of your away kit where 'LA Galaxy Away' is and the Filename of your home kit where 'LA Galaxy Home' is. You also need to find the Unique ID Number of the team you made the kit for and insert it where '1907' is for both the home and away kits.
If you have third kit then do the following:
1. Copy and paste the Away kit bit after the '<record from="LA Galaxy Home':
<record from="LA Galaxy Away" to="graphics/pictures/team/1907/kits/away"/>
2. Replace the 'LA Galaxy Away' to 'Filename'. Where it says Filename, insert the filename of your kit.
3. Then change the 'away' bit to 'third'.
4. Save the file.
Here are some Config templates. Replace the 'Filename' with the Filename of your kit/player picture for facepack/logo/background.
E.g. 'LA Galaxy Home' or 'Steven Gerrard' or 'Liverpool Background' or 'Chelsea Logo'. You do not need to add what graphic it is at the end of the Filename.

*I have named them: Config, Config2 , Config3 and Config4 for uploading purposes, it wouldn't let me upload 4 of the same name but please make sure when you edit them, to save it as just Config.
Remember, after you make the Config and everything to make sure the folder is in the following place:
Logos: Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/graphics/logos
Kits: Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/graphics/kits
Facepacks: Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/graphics/players

HTML:
[<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->
<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>
<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>
<!-- logo mappings -->
<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions
in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any
place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics
files from the correct places
-->
<!-- List generated by FM Graphics Guru, by NabaDwA-->
<list id="maps">
<record from="LA Galaxy Away" to="graphics/pictures/team/1907/kits/away"/>
<record from="LA Galaxy Home" to="graphics/pictures/team/1907/kits/home"/>
</list>

1. Copy and paste the Away kit bit after the '<record from="LA Galaxy Home':
