Forum:Guide to making a custom signature

First get one:

You must have a picture. You can ask Dr. F to make one for you, if you don't have a program, or a decent free program can be downloaded here.

Add it:

Go to your profile page and add: /sig  to the end of the address bar. Edit, then press the source button and add your photo. Make your photo look like this in the source:   (with no spaces)

Link it:

Go to your profile page and add: /sig_pref  to the end of the address bar. Edit, then press the source button and add the following: { { :User:Your user name/sig } }  (with no spaces)

Set it:

Go to the Special:Preferences page and scroll down to the Signature section. Check the Custom Signature box and add the following: { { SUBST::User:Your_user_name/sig_pref } }  (with no spaces)

Test it:

Edit on your talk page and just preview to see it.

Stub: Can anyone explain how to link different sections of the signature???
