Thanks Cliff, good job on yours too! Same goes for Bill and Jerry.

A couple of people have asked in other threads how I did the animated sig block. So here goes.

In addition to whatever program you use to create/edit your signature block, you need what's called a "GIF animator" program. You can get these as shareware. Look under "Animation" at this web site

The process is just like hand-drawn animation. You draw a series of pictures, each one just a little different than the previous one using your image editing software. This is the tedious part. Save each one with a different name (eg: sig01.gif, sig02.gif, sig03.gif ...etc.) I used ten individual pictures in my animated sig block. The more you use, the longer the animation and/or the "finer" the movement. Then you use the gif animation software to put them together in sequence and make them into one animated .gif file. This part is pretty easy - the software does most of the work - just tell it which pictures to use in what sequence.
If you don't like the animation, you can edit one or more of the individual pictures, or add more and re-assemble the animation file.

You can open up an animated gif file in a normal image editing program, but you will usually see just one of the individual pictures. You need to open it up using a gif animation program in order to extract all of the individual pictures.

Nothing but a hairy arm, so far. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

It has been suggested by those dear to me that I am perhaps spending too much time on tractor-related things, and that I might be well advised to focus more on making a living. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I think there's a message hidden in there somewhere...

I think she is saying to get a job driving a tractor. Ya that’s it

I'm sure that's it Paul.

Now that's a cleaner signature!

Here's my attempt to add a signature.

Now let's see if this works.

Fishman,

Way too large for a signature bud. Try shrinking that puppy down a tad...
