Response to Whitney

I totally forgot about this til today. Whitney had asked me how I added my signature at the bottom of my posts. It is actually easier than you think.

First I made a signature in Photoshop. It's really easy to do.

1. Make an image that is about 500 pixels across (width) and about 60 pixels long (height). Your resolution should be 96. You could use 72 but 96 always creates something nice for the internet.


2. Add an new layer, if you plan on adding an image as your signature. You don't want to be working on your background layer. If you are just using type photoshop will automatically add a new type layer, so skip this step.
   


3. Then pick a font that you want to use. I downloaded my font from
   
   http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/
   


4. Create your signature. I made the font size about 4. If you think mine is to small maybe go up to a 5pt font or a 6pt but you don't want to get any bigger than that, it will just over power your post. If you notice on mine my LOVE is tilted. LOVE is a different layer than our names. I hope this is making sense.
   


5. Delete your background layer. You want your signature transparent. Once you delete the layer you should see a grey and white checker board behind your font. If you see that your signature is transparent. Again, I hope that made sense.
   


6. Once you are happy with your signature save it as a PSD, just so you can change it whenever you want.
   


7. Then save it as a PNG. It will ask if you want it interlaced. Select none.
   

Look you're done creating your signature.

Now you want to add the signature to your blog.

This is where I found my information.

I would follow her directions. They are very clear.
