First, you will require the program such as PaintShop Pro or similar.
OK here we go first open PSP and select?
File?
New?
Select image dimensions? for example, Width 300 Height 100 Pixels, I chose Transparent for background, select OK. (Please See Board Rules For Sizes)
Next? You now have the size of the signature or what it will display at,
Next? choose the spray tool, that?s 2 above letter A on the side toolbar. (Usually)
Next? Start to spray your background colours, for example, spray the complete area light blue and then to can adjust your air brush to differing sizes to create all types of effect, go have a go you can always undo if you don?t like it. Or simply Cut and Paste a selection of your favourite graphic.
Next? go to picture tubes and simply select the effect that you wish, remember that everything is adjustable for size etc. or?
Next? Select that letter A, simply type in the text what is required, remembering that it operates similar to a word processor for size of text. Colour can be managed from the colour charts to the sides there are endless variations for you to choose.
Next save your file to .jpg or .gif, and obviously somewhere that you can easily gain access to enable you to it find later.
Next? do it all again, this time you know exactly what you are doing and you can add the special effects, for example, you may wish to make a button, you know with the angled edges to the sides of the graphic.
That?s your artistic part done and dusted. If you know how, compress it to save space.
Next upload the .jpg or .gif to your webpage, (If you don?t have one don?t worry see below) and if in the event you don?t know how to do this? well this is the Tutorial section, ask, I?m sure someone will assist you.
Next go to your signature section in your personal info in learnall control panel, type the following link to your newly created graphic.
/http://www.myname.mywebpage.com\name.jpg/
Save your changes and that?s it you now have your own signature. Well done.
Are you still having difficulty creating a graphic or you have no web page set up? Well here is the easy route.
First go to: the site that is called?
The Ultimately Pointless Website, I think it?s great. You will see all types of graphics there.
/http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/
you will be glad you did.
Next select a graphic, you will also see a box with the link in it as set out below, simply copy and paste this link into your signature section, just as you would if you had created the graphic and uploaded it to your own web page, see above.
I hope this helps someone.
Thnx to ache for this and if the addy's don't work ask as said and someone will let you know of a free website.
