[MiaShella]

And remember to save it at 72 dpi resolution as it is for web only you don´t need more, else it will be too big in Kb.

I am still having trouble with my signature. I did save it as a png but when I upload the transparent background becomes white. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong??

What program are you using?

Hi, Donna! I'm using CS 5. When I open the file, the background is transparent. In fact, it is transparent every where else besides when I upload it to MS. Even when I put it on my blog, the background was transparent. I'm stumped!

The only thing I can think of is did you merge all the layers? If yes was the background also merged? When I did mine I believe I only merged the elements not the BG. I am stumped too if that doesn't work. sorry!

I love all the cute signies. I need to take the time and try one. They are so cute! I need to be brave and try something new... lol...

One thing I noticed is that different is the way you've added it to your signature. I think you used the built in tool which seems to upload and save it locally to MS as a jpg which can't show the transparent background. Try hosting it on another site and adding it to your signature with the [ img ] tags (I.e. the mountain icon)

Just pleeease not too large. Some people are getting a little carried away and their names are so large it's coming across like shouting. It's very distracting. If it continues I'm going to put a width limit in the signature guidelines in addition to the height limit... and I'm now thinking the height limit is too large. Sorry I don't mean to be the meanie (and obviously since you don't have one yet I'm not singling you out), the creative signatures are fine... just shrink them down....please! Thanks

Making a fun signature is on my wish list...thanks for the helpful hints.

Think small...think small...
