Just a general reminder - some of our members are on dial-up and sigs that are too large in file size makes it difficult for them to load the pages of the forums. This has come up before and I believe we agreed that the size should be up to 12KB. Denise, yours is a great size (less than 4KB) but I've seen lots of siggies lately with huge file sizes (some on this very thread).

The hardest part was getting the eyes to look right.

That's really good for just scribbling. Simple and effective.

I remember the last time this came up someone pointed out a reference that said 30k was the limit and you responded to that. Even then, some people still have sigs larger than that.

I found the thread where it was discussed, but better yet here's the a link to the thread from the New Cats on the Block forum. It's listed in rule 9.

I'm on a highspeed connection so the size doesn't matter to me, but I have plenty of friends on 56k and it's definately not as fun when the pics are large.

The animated image was designed to be within the 30k limit.

It is 13k

PS steal away...it is your artwork after all
...just one thing, please host it on your site, and not mine.
