Sigs for the Stupid?

Post by Shanti418 » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:04 am

Okay, this is going to show a bit of my computer illiteracy (at least relative to most of you guys on here), but how do I make a sig?

I understand the basic concepts of uploading a picture and all that jazz, but where can I get a cheap program that lets me doctor the image or cut n' paste?

You'll need GTK+ (install that first) then the Gnu Image Manipulation Program [aka GIMP]. It's a freebie photoshop clone, and imo is pretty good for the money :)

Oops! I'm an iMac guy. Is there no hope? :(

iMac doesn't come with a crappy freebie MS Paint-type program? I'm both shocked and appalled by Apple's flagrant lack of "catering to the chavically-inclined"!

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Upload your pic to the net and make a note of the location. Mine for example lives at something like:

http://www.illuvitar.net/sig.gif

go to your Profile here on transfans, and in the signature section add in something like:

Code: Select all

In which case, don't scratch it - you'll make it all weepy and sore. I should know...
