and to get more ice creams (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Since the siggy is for yourself it doesnt matter where you place it ...
I love the little pumpkins in the Gallery & Profile tabs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif)
If you really want to know then here's where I would suggest placing the pumpkins:

Great work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/10.gif) but I'm not so sure if the bat above your name fits with the rest of the siggy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
maybe something that's "cute" but not so cute - if you know what I mean by that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Edit:

maybe something like this one (I'm not sure though)

How to slice an image? I need this help to slice my new siggy for profile and gallery respectively....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gathering.gif)

Damn it!! I made a tutorial for that a while ago, but can't find it anymore... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

[CrazEric]

Here you go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

This tutorial will show you how you add links to your forum signature. It doesn't help with creating the signature itself... I'm using Tattwams siggy for an example:
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Tattwamw.png)

To add the links to your siggy you have to cut your image in different parts. To do that open the image in photoshop. It all works best if your file has only one layer...


1. Create some guidelines where you want to cut your image.
Make sure the 'Move Tool' is selected. Now simply click on any part of the rulers and pull the guide line to the point you want to cut your image. Let go of the mouse when you are satisfied. You can still move your guide afterwards. Simply move the mouse on the line, click and drag.
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Sig1.jpg)

If you can't see the rulers on your photoshop window you can make them visible by choosing 'View' - 'Rulers'.
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Sig2.jpg)

In this siggy I want to have three images, one with Tattwams Name, that has no link, one for the gallery-link and one for the profile-link. I added guide-lines accordingly:
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Sig3.jpg)


2. Choose the 'Crop Tool' from your tools bar.
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Sig4.jpg)

Now choose the first part of your siggy. In my case that's the part with Tattwams Name. Make sure you crop the image where you set your guide lines. Press the ok symbol on the top of your photoshop window when you are satisfied.
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Sig5.jpg)


3. Save the cropped image. You have to do that with 'File' - 'Save for web and devices'


4. Now undo your last step with 'Edit' - 'Step Backward' or press 'ctrl' & 'alt' &'Z'.
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/Sig6.jpg)


5. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 with the other two parts of the image. Of course your siggy can also have only two parts... More than three doesn't work, by the way.

You should now have three different images saved:
(IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/nothing.png) (IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/profile.png) (IMG:http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/gallery.png)


6. Upload your images. You can use any webpage for that. I'm mainly using Photobucket...


7. The code.
Post your images as you would usually do in the forum. The only thing you have to take care of is the right order. Since I have one image on top and two that have to be placed under it my code looks like this:

CODE

[img]http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/nothing.png[/img]
[img]http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/profile.png[/img][img]http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/gallery.png[/img]

First the image with Tattwams Name, then the Profile and Gallery image right under it.

8. Adding the links
Mark the part of the code where you have your profile image. In my example that would be this part:

CODE

[img]http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/your_mothers/Tutorials/profile.png[/img]

Now press the 'Insert Link' button of the editor and insert the link to your profile. After that mark the part of the code where you have your gallery image and insert the link to your gallery.

That's it. You now have a linked signature. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif)

By the way: If you're making a siggy for somebody else you might want to share the code. To do that simply ad code-tags to the code you want to share. Like this:
