How do you guys (staff) make your signature banners??

I like my current one, I've had it for years too but I had someone on a different site make it for me. But, since becomming a contributor I'd like a new one entailing MAIW work that I help out with. So yea, how do you guys make em??

PS - Fly Illini, I really like your new one thumbs up lol 8)

I use a screen capture and then edit it in Paint Shop Pro. Banner should be no more than 150 pixels tall by 400 pixels wide. Otherwise the forums will automatically resize it.

I also use Irfanview to crop and resize the image. Very easy to do. Then you need to upload the picture to a third party hosting site and go into your Profile settings in the MAIW forums and copy the url location of your image surrounded by [img] tags into your signature line.
