Doc - you don't have to have 50 posts to have a picture in your 'signature' (like mine below). You can do that by going through the 'my profile' link above and creating a signature that includes a http link to the place where you picture is stored.

Keep your signature photo small so it doesn't take long to load.

Here's an example of how the text in the signature block would be written:

Editor {URL=http://www.harbourlights.com/guide/}The Official Collectors Guide to Harbour Lights{/URL}
Webmaster@LighthouseKeepers.com
{img}http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/uploads/files/chidester@membertrends.com/keeper_cu_75pixels.jpg{/img}

EXCEPT. Substitute "[" for "{" and "]" for "}"

Compare the text above with the signature block below.
