Question. Where are you guys getting these sick ass banners for all your scripts/sites/whatever to put in your sigs? Do you make them yourselves or does everyone have a friend who's really good at Photoshop? I'm no wizard myself. Are they hard to make? Secondly, how do you actually put them into the sigs?

Trying to find a better way to pimp scripts than just using colors and bold typeface.

I don't even know how to include my scripts in my sig.  How's that for a stupid question?

Jeff, next time you post, look at all those buttons up top before you post.

The same buttons are active when you mess with your signature.

"Preview" your post instead of actually posting it and see what those buttons do.

Putting a link in your signature is easy -- just like a post.

Like James, however, I too would be interested in those bad-ass banners.

Somebody take a few minutes to type us up a tutorial, eh?

Upload the image to an image host such as Photobucket (what I use). Then go to "member center" on the top of this page, then to "signature" (you probably know this part) and enter the URL in the signature box using the link provided on Photobucket (or whatever) with [IMG] and [/IMG] around it.

As far as making banners, I guess you would Photoshop or MS Paint or some other such image maker. I am willing and able to make banners for you guys, just let me know what you want.

Yeah, I do know all that stuff, Pete, but thanks.

It is the sizing of the banner that I have trouble with.

What dimensions are used?  Is there something specific to make them fit so well?

Yeah, I figured *you* would. But others...

I'm not sure of dimensions. Let me play around in PS and see what works. I'll get back to you shortly.

I can be pretty stupid, Bert, when it comes to technical stuff, even when it's very simple.  Sometimes, it's actually shocking how stupid I can be...or just am.

I'm not really sure what you mean about these "buttons".  I'll try and figure it out.

While on the subject of sigs, any suggestions on what to do after your tiny url's are exhausted?

Post the links to all of your scripts here and paste a link to your post in your sig (make sure you include the number of your post in the url). That link can stay in your sig forever but you can still choose one or two scripts to highlight from time to time.

Okay, I threw together a banner using the poster I made for my old OWC entry (in my sig now). It's 500 pixels wide x 175 pixels tall. Of course, that can be changed according to tastes.

Also, I forgot to mention. In order for the image to link to your script you have to do this:

[url=*link to script here*][IMG]*link to image here*[/IMG][/url] But without the asterisks and spaces.

My sigs a trade secret. You have to look at the code to figure out how it's done.

But i find the perfect height for a signature is 145px.  Anything larger looks garish.

length should be between 400px and 500px, though you could probably get away with larger but it wouldn't work on the smallest resolutions.

Thanks James, nice idea. The tiny urls only let you reduce so many links.

Haha....don't flatter yourself, Jeff.  Trust me.  It is not shocking at all.

I kid.  Hit "More Post Options" instead of "Post".  You do not see all those buttons when you post?  For Bold and Italic and one that looks like a little picture?  There are more than a dozen -- right above the box you type in.  Hover your mouse over them and text below the buttons will tell you what the do.

I do not want your sig.  I hate your sig haha.  I like you, though.

Thanks for the tips, Cornetto and Pete.  Perhaps I will try one when I am ready to post my SoulShadows episode.

I think the rather large banner ones are an eyesore.

Cornetto has or had a scrolling one which I think used the space well.
