The variables you can edit in that string are:
uid= You need to substitute your geocaching.com userid in here. To find this value, on the geocaching.com website, click "My Account", then click "View My Profile" (i.e. your banner). Look at the address bar in your browser, it will be in the format http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=YourUserId. The 36 odd characters after the "guid=" portion is your geocaching.com user ID.
bg= Changing this value will result in different images being used in your banner.
txt= You can place some text in your banner by entering it here, making sure that you substitute spaces with plus signs, eg: We+love+geocaching.
