Alright. I've joined the Hacker Network...

I see alot of people with little tiny logos at the bottom of their posts...

How exactly do you obtain one of those? I'd like to snag one myself.

I was thinking of copying another members logo who didn't post...but that's not right...

Heheheh.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

I assume you're talking  about sig images, much like the one I have below on here.

First, you need to grab a graphics program like MSPaint (heh) or PSP or Photoshop and make one. (or convince someone to make one for you)
Then you have to find a place to host the file. I recommend Netfirms. Then you go into your profile, and in the signature area you type
[I M G]http://www.yourhost.com/filename.extension[/ I M G]. (without the giant spaces twixt the letters in IMG, natch)

Um...do I just pick an image, and then tell you to put my name on it?

Putting my name on it would be aight, but I'm trying to think of an image...

Some kind of Lich, dark, thingy...

I can't quite tell ya what image...but something along those lines.

Hell, Satan-ish, Dark, etc.

And then stuff my name in the bottom corner, if you'd be so kind.

Maybe try putting for a quote if you could spare it:

"Darkness is my light."

Thanks again.

Generally speaking, one usually puts the quotes in separate of the sig image. Check your HN PM box.

Thank you. You wouldn't want to do that same deal again, with "Dark Shade" as my name, would ya?

It's alright if you don't. I'm sure the guys won't mind if I use it here.

Thanks again Lacerda.

Maybe I'm just being stupid here, but wouldn't it make much more sense to be using that sig on HN?

Lacerda made the sig you're using on HN?  Nice!  I like it!  Where'd you get that source image, Lacerda?

Weird Tingly Feeling.  A couple of months ago, when I was making my L337 custom DM screens, I did a GIS for exactly that, and I came up with very few decent results, and certainly not that one.

Dammit. :evil:


I did, however, come up with lots and lots of images of Roy Lichtenstein's work.  Those are pretty cool, IMO.

You know what I wouldn't mind gentlemen, is if you made me a sig for the Geekery.

I'd appreciate that, since I have no artistic talents on or off my computer.

Ask, and you shall receive.  I went for the freaky DogStarMan syle of flicker animation in this one, though I'm sure Lacerda's effort will probably make mine look pretty amateurish...

Just in case you're interested, here is what it looks like before I did all the ripple type filter effects on it.  It really didn't take me very long.  It took longer to animate it than it did to assemble all the elements...  





The background is from a John Howe painting called "In Mordor".  There's a pretty good scan of it here, if you want to see the entire thing...
