Siggies??

[jessica31876]

I am beyond tired of my current one so I was thinking how long does it take until you say ughh I really need to redo my siggy? I have probably a dozen on my hard drive that I have made since I started doing them. And Id say that is over the last two years maybe three. Do you change them with the season? Or just at whim? Mine was kinda a Christmas one but not in really traditional christmas-sy colors I guess. I am thinking of doing either valentine's or St. Patricks right now. Maybe a surf style one. IDK yet...so how about you? When do you change yours?

[AmberK]

Just whenever I feel like it and get around to it. Im in need of a new one right now but am just too lazy to do it. :) I dont do it for the season ususally because it takes too long for me to figure out what kit to use and how to arrange everything. So I just pick a kit that I love and leave it up until inspiration strikes.

[Milmomma]

I change mine about twice a year, or more often if I need to add/take away teams. I don't do seasonal as I'm not good about changing them often enough.

[hollyxann]

I try to do seasonal but sometimes I just get lazy. But I too am due for a new one. Something bright and springy.

[alinalove]

i just made my first one :-) took me a while to find out what works but i am happy now. i think i will go with it like with my pages. when i have an idea or a kit that just feels like me, then i will make a new one.

[adrianka]

Hmmmm... When I feel like it. I've had 6 of them in the 3 years I've been here, so I guess that means twice a year. But it doesn't depend on the season, just on a whim. :-)

[Laura_A]

I don't even have a siggie, but I've been wanting to make one for MONTHS. Just never sit down to do it...so you're a step ahead of me anyway. ;)

[missmarcy]

Mine has been the same since I joined last year, ha! I've been debating redoing it though. I'd like to make one with the links in it - on my todo list ;)

[carrie1977]

I just do a new one when I feel up to it...that's why I don't do seasonal siggies because I know that I'd end up having the same Christmas one for months after it's passed. LOL

[jacinda]

I've had this one for a while now - over a year at least. I love it though, and don't feel like changing it out yet.

[Stacey42]

I used to have a siggy but took it down because I wanted to make it clickable for my blog & pinterest but never got around it it. I think that was more than a year ago and I'd had it for more than a year at that point. I was just thinking last night that I ought to make one. Maybe this weekend

[Sherri Tierney]

I changed mine for New Year's but now I'm ready to do something for Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day... All are coming up so soon! I don't think I have any St. Patrick Day kits from SSD designers though. Hmm...

When I was designing, I made a siggy that I loved and never changed it. I still love that one, but it has my design name and has clickable places for my store, etc. which isn't appropriate for forum use here. I need to do something similar though.

[kristalund]

eek! i guess i need to make one! lol

i really like yours!

At first I tried to change mine every month and that lasted about a month. Then I tried to change for the seasons and holidays and that didn't work for me, so I changed mine to something simple, yet colorful and I think I will be keeping it for a bit. That will work for me. LOL

[MommaTrish]

Generally when I gain or lose a team.

[kscwgirl]

I try to do it seasonally but as evidenced by the Christmas one i'm currently sporting.. that doesn't always work. LOL

[rach3975]

I'm way too lazy about sigs to even attempt to do them seasonally. I've had this one for a year, maybe a year and a half. I started wanting a new one early in the fall, but here I am still with the old one. They're a lot of pressure, LOL! When I make a page, I finish, post/print, and move on to a new one. When I make a new siggy, I know I'll be staring at it daily for quite a while.

[joelsgirl]

I would LOVE a new one, especially since I'm down another team, but yeah, it's hard for me to get inspired to create it. Didn't someone make siggie templates once? I think I'd buy that.

[joelsgirl]

ETA: I think I'm good now, thanks to the kindness of one of my favorite sweet shoppe sweeties. : )
Heck, I'm more than good. I'm rockin'.

Speaking of siggies.... I can't find any info on what the dimensions need to be - and it's been so long since I made mine, I've forgotten. Can someone point me in the right direction? And also - after making the image, do I have to upload it to the gallery and then paste it in the siggie box as if I were entering a LO in the monthly portfolio challenge? - If that makes any sense? :confused:

[jessica31876]

I resize mine to be no larger then about 400 pixels I think on the largest side and use photobucket to upload it to. If you right click on a siggy (providing you are not on a Mac) and click on properties it will give you the dimensions.

I generally just shoot for no more than 2 blinkie things tall.

I wanna guess who that sweetie is... is it Jacinda? It looks like her handiwork!

I just changed mine... but it's still not 100% the way I want it. I think I will have to change it again sometime soon.

[maryinaz]

I went very simple this time. Before I actually just took a cluster off a layout and modified it with my name/CTs. I gave up on making it click-able with my blog, FB, etc. since no one ever clicked on anything. Ha! ;)
