Another Explanation--same thing, different words (Thanks to Lady Blanche!)
1. Go to your profile and click "Modify Profile" at the top of the page.
2. Then, scroll down to "Signature". This is where you'll put the codes for your image(s).
3. Find a picture (on Photobucket, DeviantArt, our own wonderful avatar and signature thread in The Artist's Palate section on the forum!), and then put it on Photobucket. I'll just assume you don't have an account on there and tell you about getting one of those, too.
4. Go to photobucket.com, click on "Sign Up", and fill out the form.
5. Find your picture and save it to your computer (if you right-click on the picture a little window should come up that says "Save Image to Computer"). Click on that and another window comes up so that you can save the image.
6. Now go back to Photobucket. It will say "Welcome, so-and-so" at the top of the page. Click on that and it will bring you to your album.
7. Click on "Upload images and videos", and select the picture from the window that comes up. Wait for it to upload - when it's done, it will bring you to a new page. Click "Back to album".
8. Hold your cursor over the picture and a little window will come up beneath the picture. Right-click on the series of numbers next to where it says "IMG Code", and click "copy".
9. Go back to "Modify Profile" on the forum (you'll want a few tabs open on your browser!), right-click in the box that says "Signature" above it, and click "paste".
10. Click "Modify Profile", and you're done!
