Update 10/7/08- these guidelines still work with the new “bump” :::shudder::: format

How to put a picture in your siggy:

 Find a picture that you like, upload it to a hosting site, such as photobucket, image shack or any other. Take the direct link, copy and paste into tinyurl.com. Take that tinyurl and put this code in your siggy:

<img src=tinyurlcode here></img>

How to PIP (picture in post) :

 find the picture you want. go to tinypic.com, upload the picture. if it is a large picture, there is a resize option, the message board option is usually a good size. take the Message Board Code and paste it into your post. it should look like this [IMG]tinypiccodehere.jpg[/IMG]

How to make colored text:

 [color=blue] text goes here[/color] – the end of the code is the word color and not the name of the color you are trying to use!

How to add FF ticker:

 go through the steps of making your ticker. before you have pressed the “done” button take the HTML code and paste the whole thing into your siggy. no need for a tinyurl here.

How to add lilypie/snugglepie ticker:

pretty much the same as an FF ticker, make the ticker and paste the HTML code. some tickers won’t work with the nest so trial and error here.

Starting a new line of Text in your siggy, moving a pic to another line:

really simple, just a break code <br>

Putting a link in your siggy:

<a href=”your link here” target=_new> label for link here </a>

ps. you can say ass on the nest/bump
