And the minor parts:

So, now go back up to the right hand corner and click the link called 'my account'. After you type in your password again, you will be able to edit your profile settings. You will see a link called 'Edit Signature'. You can now type in what you want to have appear on your signature.

You can add links to your sigs and color to your text by using BB Code (Read on)

What you can't add to your sig.

- Images: Images would take up a lot of bandwith. It would cost HG a lot more money to allow every member to have an image in their sig.

- HTML: Html is not allowed in signatures. But, you can use BB Code which is easier.

Changing text color:
To change the color of text, add the color bb codes:

[color=colorname]text[/color]

You can add the color name with the word or the HTML color code (check out the Quick Links Section)

[color=white]text[/color]

[color=FFFFFF]text[/color]

You can also fade your text with color
Example: Your text here

To do this, follow this code:

[color=ColorCode-ColorCode]text[/color]

Something you can do to add more personality to your sig is adding smileys.

You can also use animated smileys or emoticons. Just copy and paste the codes removing the space before the word:

* kiss* =
* barf* =
* happy* =
* mischief* =
* rude* =
* surprised* =
* wink* =
* redfaced* =
* yawn* =

You can also add weird symbols and forum letters to your sig. Copy and paste any of these symbols:
a ð å Å Â ª Ä Á À ã Ã A b ß (3 B c Ç ç © ¢ C d ð Ð D e ë é ê è í € £ Ë É Ê È E f ƒ F g G h µ H | | ï í î ì ¡ ¦ Ï Í Î

And you can combine the symbols for awesome patterns:
