Jaynin, *serious face* I like your signature even though it confuses me.
Explanation, please?
Thanks!

| Post subject: | The Signature and Avatar Thread |
How many times has one of your HW friends changed siggie or avatar and you have wanted to compliment or comment? But (oh horror) you cannot without (gasp) derailing the thread! And even if you did make a comment, others would not know you did it in that thread, since it is not about avatars or signatures and so they would not be able to post their thoughts either. So they are left to be silent (what sorrow) or to (unthinkable thought!) derail another thread! Sometimes we break down and PM the person. Sometimes we insert a teeny tiny postscript. But we struggle unendingly with the horrible temptation to veer off topic on a perfectly innocent, harmless thread, and we fight out guilt when we have done so, or that we ever desired to do so, and we wish (Oh hope!) and think "If only there was a place to express my admiration of the qualities of a Vili-bird!" (what unspeakable profundity!) And so, my dear people, here it is. The place to comment, to quote, to remember; to admire, to adore, to demand; to assuage your desire to take note, to discuss and to not derail the peaceful train of HW. Here is (the one and only) official Signature and Avatar thread. |

My favorite signatures so far...Lady E's, and Airianna's. I also love Elanor's, because I love that poem. And I really liked Bethany Faith's old signature. It's gone now.  And Sir Emeth's new avatar is "way cool". Wait, did I really just say that? I meant, "well made and beautiful".

Um... mine is defined as too lazy to fix it from April 1. Even then it wasn't much better than lame, just something I came up with on the spur of the moment... But basically, everyone gets Airianna and me mixed up. Like... everyone. Even people who vowed they'd never confuse us. So on April Fool's we made ourselves as similar as possible, to confound those who had previously confused us. Make sense? And Airi changed hers, mine must wait until some night when the impulse takes me to make it sensible again.

I love Emeth's new avatar. It looks fantastic. There are so many others I like though; Airi's, I love Indy's new one, Elanor's is very pretty, Bethy's Pegasus is gorgeous... so many awesome ones!

Until I got to know you better. Beth, I liked your old signature because it gave a lot of information about you. So I learned your personality right from the start. But your new signature makes you sound...older. |

(@Aemi) Haha, it didn't say that much about me, just that I'm extremely random as are most HWers. Yah, a sentence from my book can make me sound older...  Specifically the one sentence that scared my mom because she "didn't know I could write like that". I forgot about Airi's siggy, I like that one. I also love Shawn Henderson's signature (the excerpt from Shattering The Dark...or...something like that) it's awesome! I have to stop to read it every time.

There are also some great story hook signatures!

| Post subject: | Re: The Signature and Avatar Thread |
Somehow I dont' think that's the right word for that. Pixel is a measurement. (Although that might not be technically correct either.) Pixelate is the word we use at my house when something is really low resolution and you can see the individual pixels. (Pixelate is not a technical term that I'm aware of.) Vili and Beth's are not .jpg. The image has no background, so it looks like it sits right on the forum. Dieki's are usually like this, I think, and Eve's TPC badge is also. It originally had a white background but I removed it for her. So... if that's what's being talked about your dragonbutterfly would look like it was flying right off the forum page instead of being a little self contained picture, see? |

| Post subject: | Re: The Signature and Avatar Thread |
pixels (they have a technical name, let's see if I can remember it... sprites? maybe). I call them pixels because they're like mini, digital paintings that you paint pixel-by-pixel with a limited palette. If it helps, here's the original picture I based Bethy's pixel off of: click! If you have further questions, PM me *is trying to re-rail thread*EDIT: Jaynin is right, they're not .JPGs. They're saved as .PNGs (or .GIFs) so they have transparent backgrounds. |

I like that Airianna's signature is thought-provoking: Airianna Valenshia wrote: Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.
Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms. |

Thanks guys, I've very fond of it myself. I had some other things in my signature, but I felt they were detracting from the two things I really wanted people to focus on, so I removed them. Now I just have the two quotes. I'm thinking about removing my book listing.... But I haven't convinced myself to remove that yet. |

I think leaving the book list is fine. Not only is it of interest, it is also short and doesn't distract from the rest of the signature. |

*jumps up and down and points* Vilisse changed her signature! I recognize that line. I recognize it. I do, I do. Does that mean you've finished your story? Can I read it? Huh? Huh? Quote: “Wait! Can none change your mind? Brother, he is your kin as a son of mine. Will you kill your own?” By this time Val had dropped the wooden sword and was reaching for Thain’s arm. He shoved her away.
“None.” “You’ve broken into this house to break the chains of oppression, but I tell you, brother, the only thing you’ve managed to break is my heart.” |
