I see a lot of people are trying to use HTML in their sig now and some aren't getting the hang of it. Here's some tips;

If you want a picture (like a smiley) in your sig, you type



<img src="http://somewhere.com/somesmiley.gif">

If you know the height and width of the smiley it's helpful to set it too (then the browser doesn't have to guess). So you'd use


<img src="http://somewhere.com/somesmiley.gif" HEIGHT="20" WIDTH="20">

(note, you don't have to worry about if something is ALL CAPS or not, it'll work either way, I just did ALL CAPS to highlight the important bit)

If you want to make a link you can use


<a href="http://www.somewhere.com/somelink.html">This is My Link</a>

If you want to use an imood indicator, log in and click the "get an imood indicator for your homepage" link on the page that starts "welcome back to imood!". On that page you can select your foreground and background colours (or leave them blank), then click "Create my HTML". Then copy and paste the HTML generated in the box under "The HTML you will include in your web page is:" into your sig box here. Make sure you get all of it, just copying the URL won't make it work.

The whole thing will look something like this (don't copy this though, as it's the code for my own indicator)


<a href="http://www.imood.com/query.cgi?email=raingnosis@yahoo.ca">
<img src="http://moods.imood.com/display/email=raingnosis@yahoo.ca"
alt="The current mood of raingnosis@yahoo.ca at imood.com" border="0"></a>

And btw, don't type the PHP: bit, it's not part of the code but what MW inserts to say "what's after this is code".
