scrappinchar Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Okay...I tried my hand at making a signature. But I can't figure out how to get it from my computer files to the spot where I can update my signature. It say's insert image but asks for a URL. What am I missing here???

Guest Peppi Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 You have to upload the image first du your gallery and copy the image link of your gallery page to the place you edit your signatures. Does this make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaNussbaum Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yup, You have to have your image file on the web. Lots of ppl have different ways. You can put it in your gallery, on your own website, or blog, or even places like photo bucket. Once its there, click on it to view... then right click over the image and chose "copy image location" then when your in your signature options, you place your curser where you want it to show, click on the button that looks like a orange sunset, and then do "ctrl v" to paste the location. Hit enter... then update signature. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to update all over the messageboard. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I was thinking something along those lines... I wasn't sure if the copied link would be for the pic (signature) itself or the whole page. lol Thanks...one more question....when I made it, I was playing with 4inch by 2inch. What size does it need to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaNussbaum Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 lol... i havnt quite figured out size! I uploaded "angela" and resized it like a dozen times... finally gave up on that size. **i just looked in psp, "angela" is 300 x 96 pixels. But somehow its 28.340 resolution.. weird!! Oh and save it as a png if you want transparency ... angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ohhh...thanks for the transparency tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginaMO Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks for the info Angela, may have to try designing a signature of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peppi Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I saved my image as png in PSE5, deleted the white background to be transparent and then File/Save for web. Then I used PNG-24 as image type transparency clicked on. I reduced the size to a lower %. On the bottom is a button to click view in web there you can see the real web-size. Once I was happy with the result I saved this image, uploaded it to my SG gallery. The link I copied to the signature update is the http image link on the right side of the page in the gallery under Hotlinking & BBCode. I don't know if this is going to help you. Hope so.

LOL I'm going to post my little siggy to the gallery then see if I can get it over to my siggy spot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peppi Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 LOL didn't know this computer talk one month ago. My DH has also problems to follow me sometimes. This is something I have learned by reading all the threads on the MB. The tip with save for web, I've got it from Bethany (sthrnbelle05). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughnde Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 This is Gorgeous! I love it...I did mine in a box style because that is what was taught to me when I first got PSP at a free teaching site for psp. But I would love to do one like yours Charlene!

scrappinchar Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Woohoo!!!!!! I did it!!!!! Sorry for posting the signature in the gallery so many times. I finally saw the "save to web" or "save for web" option in my software and made it smaller. And about the "transparency" choice....when I saved it with a transparent background...ScrapGirls has an automatic light blue background. I didn't want that. So, I made a background with the color as close as I could to the Message Board screen color. Thanks for all the help!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrappinchar Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 lol Thank you. The "smiley face" made me laugh. I like yours, too...I just don't think my handwriting is worth preserving as a siggy. lol I have a question about signature etiquette? (sp?) It *is* okay for me to use someone's products, right? I'm not displaying the signature anywhere but here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
