    Well, first you have to have your picture.

    If you want to have a picture of your map, go on Halo, take your screenshot, and upload it to your File Share.
    Once you've got that first step done, go on b.net, find your screenshot, and save it to your computer. Now, you will have to crop it, or resize it, before moving on to the next stage, because the maximum size allowed for sigs here, is 500x200 pixels.
    You can do that with an editing program like Gimp, or photoshop, or even paint.
    After you've got that done, feel free to write on it with a text tool on any of those programs.
    Next, visit a website like photobucket, and/or imageshack. You will have to create an account for photobucket, if you don't already have one. Then upload the picture to the hosting site, and copy the direct link wrapped around [noparse][/noparse] codes.

    I think that's basically it.
    You got any questions, feel free to ask me, or anyone else.

    Go to a signature shop in the Graphics and Arts section and Im sure anyone would be glad to make you one.

    No it doesn't.

    It does all you need it to do right now.

    And if you don't want to use it, you can even upload it first to photobucket.
    Then, there, you can Edit it, and resize it, put text on it, and some effects.

    And trust me, it's doable in paint.
    Just put your pic there, resize it, and use the text tool, and choose your font.
    It's not too hard.

    I think he means like my boys. Are you talking about a text signature with an image inside? If so, you'll need photoshop and some basic skills. I recommend giving a message to someone asking them to make a signature or going into a signature shop and asking for it.

    No, you don't need photoshop. I could do that with Microsoft Paint. I just wouldn't have the border.

    Really? I didn't know that. Oh well, it's easier with photoshop, that I can guarantee.

    Yeah, you can use MS Paint. And you could also use a free program like GIMP or Paint.NET (the superior one :D)
