User blog:Local Mafia Boss/Custom Signatures

I was talking to bfox about how to make custom signatures, and he suggested someone should make a blog for it. Now, I don't know how to make the template signatures like some people, but I can do a lot of the other stuff.

My signature is  Mafia (Questions?)

I am going to go through each thing I did on it.

Getting Started
Click Custom Signature.

The Pictures
File:Praetorian_Flag.png|25px This gives the right size. Use the picture you want. You need to get the code right, so go Source to see what it is called. Obviously do the '' with the name inside

Shortening
You have to type out the code when you are in custom signature, as opposed to when it is standard. Fairly Standard.

Small Text
This seems complex, but isn't. It is just a piece of code. <      sup      > Text <    /     sup     >. Without the spaces.
