Thanks John. I have been wondering the same thing. This was too easy.

Jon, Thanks for sharing, I will be checking this out in the moring,

Duane

Thank you for sharing...  I wanted one too!

Thank you so much for posting this... I've been a bit on the jealous side myself!

Wow that was easy to use and quick - thanks for the information

Thanks!!

Thanks, Jon! NOw I am off to go figure out how to save it as something other than a .bmp

Trevor, Michelle, and Brittany very nice signatures!

Karen, check out a post I have about file conversions, quick easy file upload and you say what you want it available as and presto, you can have a jpg, gif, tif, png or what ever of your bmp!  

Glad everyone enjoyed the posting!

Now I am cool too!!!

Thanks JON

I'm on my way to re-create my signature.  Thx for the post.

Thanks, Jon. Off to "file conversions" I go!

Okay...figured it out!  Thanks, Jon!

Thanks Jon,

That was easy enough. Now if I can save the same signature on my work computer. I believe I will go to the office and save it to be sure I have the right one.

 I bookmarked this so I would not lose your post.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS

looks good, but how do you change it to a .gif or Jpeg

Glad to see more creative signatures.  This is pretty cool. 

Mike,  I'd attach the file to an email you can access at work and save that file to your work computer.

Leo,  Check out my previous posting on file conversions, and your wish is your command.

Thanx Jon, I will try it, this has been very helpful because I have all kind of artwork in .bmp that I can't use, my site won't allow....

so thanx allot

what do you think Jon?

after convert it still has a background...now what?

Thanks Jon. That was on my list of things to do. You just made it a little easier for me.

Leo,   Check out a program call Irfanview.  I think it will help you.

Lissa,  Glad to help.

Thanks!

Jill, Nice image in your link!  (it is showing as html code though)

Jon-Realizing that several people have commented on how easy it is, I have a question?  Once it is created and you right click to save to your computer, do you need to change the format? I am unable to to use it AR it is coming across as a bmp.

Thanks

Dana.  This is stumping me some.  When I create a signautre, I get an output, and ability to save as a "PNG" format file.  That is acceptable as an image type for use on ActiveRain.  Several users like you have mentioned that you are getting it as a "BMP" format.  I beleive it has to do with a browser setting or your browser itself.  In trying to duplicate the trouble, I find when using FireFox (my browser of choice) I can only save as a PNG, in Internet Explorer I can only save it as a BMP.  So, you might try checking out the link in FireFox.  You can also try to two other options mentioned above to change the format.  Zamzar.com is very easy, and Irfanview is a great freeware program.

Hey Jon that has to be the problem because for me when I want to save it I can only save it in a .bmp never in a .png.

perfect... I love it... thank you!!!

Thanks, I finally did it! I appreciate your help.

Dana, Congrats, very nice.

Rick, Excellent.

thank you

Wow!  Great information thank you so much.  I am still trying to figure out how to insert into my email. 

Well I thought I had it figured out :) 

Cool.... going to try this out tonight!  Thanks for the info!

Great idea, thanks for the tip!

Hey thank you for sharing. I have to get me a sig. It looks good!!! Have a great day!! Thanks again

Thanks Jon for the link, I have been looking for something like this.  I will mess around with it until I can find what I like.  Great Post!

Glad everyone is finding this post helpful!

Keep making great signature's.  Remember once you have inserted your image, you can also hyperlink the image like you could any regular text.  Click on the chain link and input your link properties.

Yeah!  I finally figured it out.  Phew! I consider myself to be fairly computer saavy so was getting frustrated that it was working.

 I love this.  They also have a way that you can actually sign your name on the screen.  That is great!  Thanks again for the great link.

Thanks $1,000,000, Jon.  I'm gonna try it out right now!

Thanks for the info and link....

Thanks! Always wonder how some post had cool signatures

Remember you can link your signature to your profile, or web page by slecting the image and clicking the chain link and inputing the appropriate link information.  Check out my signature, links to my website.

Thanks Jon :)

Kara,

Very Nice

Kristin,

Nice signature.  To get it to show correctly here on ActiveRain you want to click the insert image icon (third from right) and paste "http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/256/F90D76147C669447EDFA4D0BEE3B5718.png" or any other URL where the image is stored on the top line "image URL" of the window that pops up.  You will also want to go to the appearance tab, click alliagnment to the setting you want, left, right, center.

Thanks for sharing was wondering where these signatures were coming from, am seeing a lot more of them around.  Just tried and it is easy and I will use it.

I've been using my signature for a while, but just found your post!

Jon - I love it!  I was wondering how people did this...   Thanks so much for the information!   :)

Thanks for sharing, I'm going to try it shortly

Have A Great Day

Debi and Doris,  Glad you found the post.  Have fun with your signatures.

Thanks!  Was wondering how everyone was getting the cool signatures here in Active Rain!  Love this idea!

Jon.. I've tried getting this signature 3 times, but to no avail.  I either get to the point where I need to copy the url, or if I right click on the signature it is saved as a bmp.  Even with Zamar, I can't get it to work. Any chance you can help?

Valerie,

Are you using Internet Explorer?  If you have Firefox it will allow you to save the graphic in a format other than .bmp.  Do you have the ability to use Firefox?  Let me know, if not we'll figure out a way.

Thanks for telling me how to do active my signature. I can do what I need to do on a computer but am not too computer savvy. How do I get the signature from Mylivesignature.com to my blog?? HELP!!

Thanks!

Stacey~

Well, you just never know what you're going to stumble on next here. Thanks for the great resources, will have to bookmark & play with later. What fun!

sign your name in a peice of paper -- scan it -- and save it in your PC as a GIF or as a JPEG --- and that's it

Thanks for the tip!

Well  - What a nice post!  I plan to do it tomorrow, first thing in the morning.  It is really great that AR people share lijke this.  It will help us all to look professional yet personal.  I have been very un happy with my signature, etc.  - now I can fix it for good.  Thanks so much, I wish everyone was as sharing as the people on AR. 

Eunice, nice look with the flair!  Very nice.  Jen, glad you found the post helpful.  Robert, do post your signature tomorrow when you make it, show it off!

Thanks for the great post Jon!  Now we can all look cool!

Thanks for the information...not sure if I need to insert it each time or if it is on my profile it goes in automatically...so I guess I will give it a try..

OK...guess I need to insert each time..

.

Jon,

Thanks!!!  I had to come back and tell you WOW and Thanks!  I even managed to get the link in!  And of course, being rather OCD, I had to change the signature...By the way, I kind of had one of those days...went to AR for some "therapy" and after accomplishing this it made my day a lot brighter. THANKS!!!!!!

Lori,

I like your signature 2.0, very nice.  Glad you found some "therapy".

Thanks Jon, will check it out, me too have been "in awe" but did not want to ask!

Eva,

Do come back and show us all your signature!

This is my first attempt to get it in a blog comment.  Thanks for the info Jon.

Hi John,  Wow, I was a tad jealous too. I can't wait to try it out!
