Ok, this one I can help with; I think the website is called ticker factory.com or something like that (if you click on one of our tickers, it will take you there). Then you can create the ticker and it will give you a link at the end that you can cut and paste into your siggy. They have all kinds of designs, so have fun!

Ok, I clicked on my ticker and pulled up the site.

If you scroll down just a bit you will see blue links with titles: "Trying to Conceive" "Baby and Child Age" etc. The last one on the right is "Event." Click there.

Select which ticker ruler you would like by filling the bubble to the left and click next.

Select your ticker slider in the same manor and click next.

Fill in your event date and the name of your event. "Jason and Kelli's Wedding" for example. (This is also where you can put "the big day" or whatever.)

Set your current date and time and then click next.

A page will come up that shows you your ticker. If you want to change something, click back and until you get to the step you want to change. Copy and past the HTML coding (second BOX down--that's not counting the link) into your siggy.

VOILA! One ticker! Hope this helps!

You go to the User Control Panel and paste it in your Signature ... just the and parts, no need for the rest.

:goodluck:

In addition to TickerFacorty, you can also get one at http://daisypath.com and http://www.tickercentral.com

I just created one at www.snugglepie.com. After you create it, they give you an address to use and I just copied and pasted it in my signature. Let's see if it works...

Yeah they have all kinds: baby, christmas, halloween, Valentine's Day, weight loss, wedding, even a breastfeeding ticker! I did one at the tickerfactory, but I really liked the Cinderella-esque quality of the one I did on snugglepie!

Ok, just copy this below and paste into your signature, this will give you the picture without the clickable link, but it will still work (you will see the image but click on the quote and get the code to copy) ...

I think you need to copy the one that starts with "url" and make sure you copy the entire thing.

Click the 'Quote' and get the code for this and paste it in your signature ...
