Hi Everyone...

I think this website is fantastic... since starting to use the forums, and making posts, I have received tons of great advice.

Right now I am testing out a "tip" on putting a plug in my signature...

I am also revamping my website with a whole new graphic and less cluttered look, based on suggestins from forum members in the website critque section...

Besure to search for my other posts and participate in my website critque...your opinion matters to my design!

The two "favorite" revisions and graphics chosen by members so far is located at:

http://www.freewebs.com/picturemyheart2/INDEXTESTF.html

the other variations include:

http://www.freewebs.com/picturemyheart2/INDEXTESTB.html
http://www.freewebs.com/picturemyheart2/INDEXTESTD.html

The Original and still current site design and homepage  is at:

You can make an actual link in your signature.

like

(URL=http://www.picturemyheart.com)Picture-My-Heart(/URL)

Only replace the ( ) with [ ].

I don`t think you need

in it.

IMO a signature should be just that, a signature. A couple of words and a place where folks can find you. All that stuff you are putting on your signature should be on your profile, your signature should never be longer than any post.

I`d also agree that it`s a little "busy." But if you take Nicole`s advice and create a link rather than spelling out the URL, that would help. When you`re using a signature like this in print, then you`ll need to show the URL. Also, I`m not so sure that you need the second paragraph at all. I think this part says enough:
