stupid question re attching my Flickr page

[Kate1]

Hi,
I'm new to DPS - and loving it - and want to know how I attach the link to my Flickr page at the end of my posts.
Sorry to ask this question here but I couldn't find a more appropriate place!
Thanks,
Kate

Thanks Susan. I pasted my url into the signature box but al it shows is the url string - how do i make it come as "my Flickr" or something like that? Sorry for this...

Not a problem Kate1 We're always pretty happy to help out. Might be a little basic in my step by step, but figure, better to state the obvious than leave out something that there's a chance someone might not know.

First, click the link to Edit Your Signature

Now, you should see an empty box for your signature.

First, type in what you want your link to say, for example, Flickr or My Flickr. Then highlight the text and click the button like this which will bring up a box where you can type in your flickr address. Click Ok and it will have turned the text you highlighted into a link.

If you want to change the font colours at all, just highlight the word or letters you want to change the colour of, then click and select the colour you want the letters / words to be.

When you're done, simply click Save Signature (or Preview Signature if you want to see how it looks before you save it) and you should be set.

If you have any other questions or need more help, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll try to answer as best I can.
