How to create a signature block with a graphic

Create a new image in a "paint/image" edit program. This example should be a good size to use,

but you can use between 60 - 95 pixels for the height and 200-500 for the width.

Next open up your favorite picture so you can manipulate it the way you want. Crop it or change the background or both, your choice.

A little playing around and practice will prove a big help. I've found that a white background works the best.

I used an eraser type tool to do this part. Then I cropped the picture after making the background so it would be easier to resize in the next step.

 Resize the picture. You can try different sizes because some sizes do distort some.

RESIZED here

Copy and Paste the resized pic to the new(blank) frame. Now it's time to add text:

Your program may be different but they all have the text function.

You'll have to experiment a little on the size and font you like.

Now save your work as a " .GIF " if possible because it takes up a lot LESS space.

2nd choice is a " .JPG " file; but both will work.

Don't use a " .bmp" file cause that's the largest file format. TOO much space.

Now upload the file to your file library space.

After your pic is uploaded; RIGHT click on the file name; copy shortcut and then go to your member profile

One important NOTE:!!! When you put the html tag in the signature block you MUST have >>> without the quotes""

" <IMG SRC= " in the beginning AND " > " at the end.

((( EXAMPLE= <IMG SRC=http://www.zjstech.net/~library/102/newsig24_trl.gif> )))

Put in your password and hit update.

Now if you put a check in the show sig block, you should have it!

I've tried to make this a simple as I could and even tested it. It worked for me but if you have ANY problems drop me an email and I'll help as much as I can. ENJOY
