Signature Questions (how to make? how to get rid of white background?)

[iheartdisneypins]

I was inspired to make a siggy, too. I think the file size restrictions have changed, I can't get it any larger and had to save as a jpg to save the kb!

I'm thinking of designing a signature. Do I need to ask permission from the designer before I use their kit for this? Where do I leave credit? I saw a height restriction of 200px. Is there a restriction for length? Are there any suggestions for what makes a good signature? The Guidelines say no blinking/glittery signature. Can there be glitter on the signature if it isn't moving for example glitter in the center of a flower or glitter around the letters? If not are rhinestones or sequins ok. I'm finally getting up the courage to work on this. Thanks so much for your help! All my best, Roni

You don't need to ask for permission just add a line with the credits in your siggy (check on mine-line on top). Each forum has its own size for siggies, better check out the siggies restrictions where you wanna post and make one that fits all (OK that's what I do you can do one and resize for each forum ). You can add glitter as long as it is a png file (no movement like gif files).

Hope it helps! Cant wait to see your new siggie!!!

Oh and make it 72 dpi so it is not so big and you can save it as png.

There is not (currently) a width restriction... just height. Like Roxana said, glitter is okay, just not blinking/animated glitter... it's just very distracting. Thanks for asking!

Can someone please tell me how to incorporate the full marathon metal with my pins? Thanks.

I started this project as a transparency, saved as png in transparency but still somehow have a white background. I'm using PSE 9. and I can't seem to get my siggy any larger than what is seen below at 72 resolution and 400 by 200 size. Suggestions? Thanks!

Upload it to another site (e.g. Photobucket) and then include it in your signature with [ img] tags, just like you would when you post a photo in a post.

When I right click on your photo, the properties list it as a jpg, which won't show the transparency. Try again to upload a .png. If it doesn't seem to work, try hosting it on another site (e.g. Photobucket) and then including it in your signature with [ img] tags.
